This is to notify you that on April 13, 2021, the Select Board issued an Order of Discontinuance that discontinues the public easement over the Jenkins Road, for a distance of approximately 1,200 feet beginning at the eastern border of lot R03-63’s property line and running westward to the eastern border of lot R02-70’s property line. Jenkins Road was discontinued as a public road by the Town of Bowdoinham in 1978 but retained a public easement beginning at Post Road and running westward to Millay Road, as shown more particularly on the Town Tax Maps numbers R07 and R03, on file at the Town office.

The Order also states the amount of damages to be paid to abutting property owners. A copy of that Order is attached to this Notice and is incorporated herein. The Order of Discontinuance has been filed with the municipal clerk.

The Order will take effect upon recording at the registry of deeds when and if it is approved by a vote of the legislative body of the Town of Bowdoinham. If the Order is approved, the municipality will no longer have a public easement over this portion of Jenkins Road, and the public will not have the right to continue using the road as a public easement.

For the time being, the Town of Bowdoinham will be conducting public meetings via video conferencing. This is in accordance with emergency legislation (PL 2019, c. 617) enacted by the Maine legislature on March 17, 2020, which temporarily authorizes remote participation at municipal board and committee meetings by board members and the public.
