Cushing Selectboard votes to demolish dangerous building on Davis Point Road and recover cost through property tax
Summary
The Selectboard voted unanimously to hire a demolition contractor to remove a dangerous building on Davis Point Road and to place the demolition cost on the landowner's property taxes.
The Cushing Selectboard voted on June 24 to hire a demolition party to remove a building deemed dangerous on Davis Point Road and to recover the cost by placing a lien on the property tax bill.
Selectboard Chair Craig Currie moved to hire a demolition contractor and to attach the cost to the landowner’s taxes; Mike James seconded the motion and it passed 5-0-0.
The motion directs town officials to proceed with contracting for demolition and to follow the town’s process for cost recovery through the property tax system. No specific contractor or cost estimate was recorded in the minutes; the board’s action records only the authorization to proceed and to attach costs to the landowner’s taxes.
The decision uses the town’s existing code-enforcement and cost-recovery practice to address property conditions the board judged hazardous. The board did not record additional timelines or a dollar estimate for demolition during the meeting.
