There appeared at the time and place of the hearing. Mr. James
Coffey. Iepresenting the Eastern Maine Medical Center, owners
Of most
of the property abutting the portion of Spruce Street to be discontinued.
Mr. Coffey spoke in favor of the discontinuance. He was advised by the
City Engineer that the State Statutes, 23 H.R.S.A., 9 3026, provide that
when a public way is discontinued, the interest- in the land passes to the
abutting property owners to the center of the way, subject to the retention
of a public easement for public utilities.
The subject portion of Spruce Street was replaced by an extension
of Spruce Street to Pearl Street, due to the considerable change in grade
which resulted from the reconstruction of Hancock Street in 1980.
It is recommended that the above described portion of Spruce Street
be discontinued and removed from the Official City Map. The Planning
Board has previously approved the change in the Map.
Respectfully rsuuhnitte�d.
