As all municipalities have regulations
providing for the protection of their roads, HOLA has the following
regulations designed to protect its roads for the benefit of its owners.
1. All roads will be posted each spring,
as the weather dictates, against travel by heavy trucks hauling
materials and equipment (excavating, well drilling, cement, etc.).
2. HOLA Owners who start a project
requiring excavation and/or the use of heavy trucks in the HOLA area are
required to forward a non-refundable payment of $1,000 for the
construction of a new home and $500 for other projects requiring heavy
equipment, 72 hours prior
to commencing work, to the HOLA Treasurer.
Submit the appropriate fee to the HOLA Treasurer, 72
hours prior to commencing work, at P.O. Box 262, Rangeley, ME 04970
Attn: Mike Moroney
3. No roads may be opened (excavated)
for the installation of utilities or culverts without first contacting
the Road Commissioner of HOLA. Culverts must be 15” or larger.
4. No excavating in the road
right-of-ways of HOLA may be undertaken without first notifying the
agency “Dig Safe”. They must be contacted at least three(3) business
days before the proposed time of excavation so that they can mark the
location of underground utilities. It is the responsibility of the
owner/contractor to mark the proposed excavation site for “Dig Safe”.
The “Dig Safe” telephone number is 1-888-344-7233. Drill, excavate,
blast, drive posts or pipes, it’s Maine law that you contact “Dig Safe”.
Please remember that HOLA roads are not to be
used for trail riding for ATV’s or Snowmobiles. HOLA roads may be used
to access trails or to visit other HOLA properties. Please note that the
new signs on the power line are there to inform non HOLA members that
using the HOLA roads as trails is not allowed.
If there are questions about snowplowing or
sanding please call Les Hoekstra at 864-2963. He will contact the
snowplowing contractor. Please DO NOT contact the contractor directly.
