Council authorizes interim electrical hookup on Midway Lane, allows Town Manager to sign with Versant Power
Summary
The Glenburn Town Council unanimously authorized an interim electrical hookup for a Midway Lane property and permitted the Town Manager to sign a contract with Versant Power while the property owner pursues formal subdivision and Planning Board approvals.
The Glenburn Town Council on Jan. 15 unanimously authorized an interim electrical hookup for a Midway Lane property while the owner pursues required planning approvals. Attorney John Pottle, representing resident Clifford Lane, told the council a title-company search found a subdivision that never received Planning Board approval dating back nine or ten years; Mr. Lane is following procedure but requested an interim hookup in the meantime.
The council voted to allow the Town Manager to sign a contract with Versant Power to enable the hookup. Mr. Cookson made the motion and Mr. Roma seconded; the motion passed unanimously. No timeline or contingency conditions for the interim connection were recorded in the minutes.
Why it matters: The council’s action allows a property owner temporary access to electrical service pending corrective land-use steps, while preserving the Planning Board’s role in final subdivision approval. Attorney Pottle presented the title-company finding to explain why the interim measure was sought. The council did not record any separate vote restricting the duration or conditions of the interim hookup.
