Item/Subject: Authorizing Acceptance of Gift of Land from Land
Investment, Inc. and Douglas Schmidt (Portion of Tax Map R58,
Lot 2)
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
Following contacts by Rolland Perry, City Forester, Land
Investment, Inc. and Doug Schmidt have offered to donate a 20± acre
parcel of land to the City of Bangor. The land concerned is
located southwesterly of the former veazie Railroad right-of-way,
and adjacent to other land of the City of Bangor near the Orono
town line, north of the City's Kittredge Road landfill. The
donation, if accepted, would help round out the City's holdings in
this area.
In addition to the land donation, Land Investment, Inc. and Mr.
Schmidt have offered to release their interests in those portions
of the former Veaxie Railroad right-of-way lying across City Tax
Maps R65, Lots 1 and 2 and R58, Lot 2. (See attached sketches)
The right-of-way area concerned is approximately one mile in
length. Because this portion of the Veazie Railroad right-of-way

was originally established by a layout and taking, and because this
portion of the right-of-way has been abandoned for railroad use for
more (see attached) than thirty years, the release of the abutting
property owners' interests to the City of Bangor should operate to
vest fee title to this portion of the sight -of -way in the City
allowing its future use as a public recreational trail. This use
would be consistent with the City's intended development of a
recreational trail linking the Essex Street recreation center with
the City's forest holdings on the Orono town line.
