Beginning at a point on the easterly right-of-way line of French
Street located 715 feet north from the northerly right-of-way line of
Congress Street, being the northerly tensions of a portion of French
Street which was previously discontinued by the Bangor City Council
by Council Order No. 87-320 passed August 24, 1987; thence in a northerly
direction along said easterly right-of-way line of French Street for a
distance of 329.58 feet to the intersection with the northerly line of
land owed by the M d J Company, as described in a Deed recorded in
Penobscot Registry of Deeds in Vol. 3447. Page 358; thence In westerly
direction at right angles with the lest described line for a distance
of 50 feet to the westerly right-of-way line of French Street; thence
in a southerly direction along the westerly right-of-way line of French
Street for a distance of 329.58 feet to a point to the northerly terminus
of that portion of French Street previously discontinued; thence in an
easterly direction for a distance of 50 feet to the paint of beginning.
There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting Mr. Charles
Wellman and Mr. Thomas Russell, Esquire, representing St. Joseph Mealtbcare
Foundation, the original petitioners for the discontinuance, who spoke in
favor of the discontinuance as proposed. Mr. Russell also indicated that
St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation would waive its rights to any damages as
notcult of said discontinuance. The City Engineer indicated that he would
recommend that any damages be paid as a result of said discontinuance.
Inasmuch as St. Joseph Healthcare Foundation, or its subsidiaries,
owes all of the land abutting the proposed portion of French Street to be
discontinued, and since that portion of French Street would e
further public need, it is recommended that It be discontinued and removed
from the Official City Hap, subject to the reservation of an easement for
any existing public utilities. The Planning Board has previously taken
the necessary action to remove this portion of French Street from the
Official City Map.
Respectfully submitted,
John T. Frawley, City En sneer
