The Vassalboro Board of Appeals is scheduled to meet at 4 p.m., Thursday, Oct. 9, in the town office meeting room, to hear a request to change a road name.
In August, Augusta attorney Jed Davis, representing Vassalboro resident Silas Cain, asked town officials to take back the name White Ridge Road, recently applied to a road off Oak Grove Road that runs through Cain’s property to Jeff White’s property.
Last spring, White told Cain town officials intended to name the road so it could be properly shown on 911 maps. Davis said Cain began thinking about names he would suggest. He never had the chance, because town officials put up a White Ridge Road sign without consulting him.
Davis asked select board members to reconsider the name and to talk with Cain about a new name.
The request was on the board’s Sept. 18 agenda. Town Manager Aaron Miller said it was a decision for the board of appeals, which had only two members, one short of a quorum.
At their Oct. 2 meeting, select board members are scheduled to appoint a new board of appeals member so the board can act on Oct. 9.
Also on Thursday, Oct. 9, at 6:30 p.m., the Vassalboro Select Board has scheduled a special meeting, in executive session, to discuss personnel matters.
