N0 person or per appeared at the time and place set for the hearing; however. Mr. Kenneth Hensler and Mr. Roger Hunter, representing the Casco Northern Bank which abuts the southerly side of Water Street, met with the City Engineer on March 18, 1988 to determine the effect of the proposed discontinuance on their facility. The City Engineer advised them that the right-of-way would continue to be kept open for through traffic between Broad Street and Kenduskmg Plaza, but that the primary use of the right-of-way would be for the erection of a parking garage with part of the garage structure to occupy pardons of the existing right-of-way. Existing underground utilities wouldalso z main In place. The greatest impact on their property as a result of the discontinuance and garage construction is the necessity t relocate their existing driveway entrance from Water Street to the easterly side of their property, connecting to Kenduskeag Plaza. The City Engineer indicated to them that hewould Zoend that in lieu of damages for the discontinuance. the City would pay for and would construct the relocation of their driveway. They also expressed thenn that Water Street would be closed off completely to through traffic during the period of construction, probably lasting through the end of this year, which would make access to their property more difficult, since most of the traffic approaches the drive-in bank in an eastbound direction on Water Street. The City Engine suggested that a temporary driveway entrance would be onstructed on a 50 -foot wide strip of land awned by the City which borders the south side of their property, which would provide temporary as s during the period. of construction. The City Engineer also indicated that he would recommend to the City Council that the City install and pay for the temporary access. -2 The total estimated coat of the permanent driveway entrance relocation to Renduakeag Plaza, and the temporary driveway entrance from Broad Street, is $3,000.00. It is recommended that the above described portion of Water Street be discontinuedtfstreet purposes. n retaining a easement t0 construct a public parking garage and which will provide aprovision for through traffic flow, and also retaining a public easement for existing under- ground utilities.
