Otisfield Select Board: town authorized to grant easement for Community Forest McKay Right‑of‑Way
Summary
After reviewing a WFLT survey alongside a 2010 survey, the Otisfield Select Board determined May 20 that the town is authorized to grant the easement needed for the Community Forest project along the McKay Right‑of‑Way; the minutes do not specify next procedural steps.
Hal Ferguson, chairman of the Town of Otisfield Select Board, said the board reviewed competing surveys and determined the town has authority to grant an easement needed for the Community Forest project along the McKay Right‑of‑Way.
Guest Lee Dasler attended the May 20 meeting to seek clarification about the project and the right‑of‑way. After comparing a WFLT survey with the original 2010 survey, the board concluded the town is authorized to grant the necessary easement. The meeting minutes record the determination but do not list a formal vote on the easement or outline immediate next steps.
The minutes name WFLT only; the transcript does not expand that acronym or identify which party will prepare easement documentation, nor does it set a timeline for any formal action. The board’s determination removes one procedural question for the Community Forest project, but the minutes do not specify whether the town will return to the board with a formal easement instrument, a public hearing, or a recorded vote.
The Select Board will consider related steps at future meetings, according to the meeting record.
