Meaning and intending to describe a portion of the Fore Street right-of-way as originally laid out on October 16, 1838 and described in City of Bangor Road Book 2, Pape 81 as widened on the easterly side on July 19, 1851, recorded un City of Bangor Road Book 2, Page 94, and as further widened on the westerly side on February 4, 1871, as described in City of Bangor Road Book 2, Page 440. The shove mentioned City records indicate that the name of Fore Street was changed to Wall Street Place when it was widened on the easterly side on July 19, 1851. There is no exact record as to when the name was formally changed to Pickering Square; however, the first formal mention of the name Pickering Square was made when the way was further widened in a westerly direction on February 41 1871, and the area was further accepted, confirmed, designated and established as Pickering Square by the City Council on October 13, 1930. -3- 86-272 In accordance with 23 M.R.S.A., Section 3026, notice was given to the Planning Board of the proposed discontinuance, and since the City of Bangor is the only owner of property abutting the area to be discontinued, no further notices were sent; how- ever, the notice was published in the Bangor Daily News, and was posted in the vicinity of the discontinuance as described. above. The purpose of the discontinuance is to prepare the subject area for inclusion with other adjacent City -owned property for eventual conveyance to a private developer for redevelopment, which is considered to be in the best intereste.of the City. No person or persons appeared at the time and place set for the hearnag. Since the City of Bangor is the only abutting property owner, no damages are recommended to be paid as a result of said discontinuance. It is further recommended that no public easement be retained. It is recommended that the above described portion of Pickering Square be discontinued as a public way, and that it be removed from the Official City Map. A Plan showing the area to be so discontinued is on file in the Office of the City Engineer. Respectfully �submitted, John Prawlsy, City EnSmeer
