CITY OF BANGOR, MAINE
Engineering Department
August 22, 1985
To the Municipal Officers:
Reference is made to City Council Order 85-262 passed July
8, 1985 directing the City Engineer to do a Cost Study pertaining
to the oonstruction of roads and severe in the Stillwater Gardens
Subdivision located an the west aide of Stillwater Avenue north
of Interstate Highway 1-95• The Cost Study has been compieted,
which indicates the following:
The project involves the construction of four new roads:
Drew Lane, extending north from Stillwater Avenue for a distance
of
approximately 1162D feet to a cul-de-sac; Shannon Drive and
Carrie Court, each extending 200 feet west from Drew Lane; and
Jennifer Lane, extending southerly from Shannon Lane and parallel
to Drew Lane for a distance of approximately 1,000 feet. These
streets would be constructed to a Width of 30 feet, having a 3
inch bituminous concrete surface on an 18 inch gravel base: In
addition, a storm sewer system consisting of 11780 feet of 12 inch
pipe and 16 catch basins will be required to control surface water.
The sanitary sewer system would consist of 3,088 feet of 8 inch
pipe and 10 manholes, together with 4 inch sever laterals to each
lot.
The total cost of the street construction, including top -
soiling and seeding of the unpaved areas within the right -o£ -way,
is $139,800.00. The total estimated cost of the storm sewer is
$60,00000 and the total estimated cost of the sanitary sewer
i
system s 372,500.00. The sewer laterals would cost an estimated
$19,300.00, making a total project cost of $291$600.00.
If the City participates in the cost of construction of the
roads and sewers in accordance with previous policy, than the
City a share would be $5.25 per foot of road construction, and
fifty percent of the storm and sanitary sewer construction, not
including the sewer laterals, which would be the Developer's
responsibility. A breakdown of the costs would be as follows:
City's Developer's Total
Item Coat Cost Cost
Roads $ 151800. $124,000. $139,800.
Storm Sewer 30,000. 30,000, 60,000.
Sanitary Sewer 36,250. 36,250. 72,500.
Sewer Laterals -0- 19.300, 19.300.
Total $ 82,050. $209,550, $291,600.
-1.
There has been previous discussion regarding the possibility
of the City paying fifty percent of the total estimated cost of
the roadway construction, in accordance with the original intent
of the Ordinance when it was adopted in 1967. If so, then the
pro rata shame of the construction costs would be as follows:
City's Developer's Total
Item Coat Cost Coat
Roads $ 69000. $ 699900. $139,500.
Storm Sewer 30,000. 30,000. 60,000.
Sanitary Sewer 36,250. 36,250. 72,500.
Sewer laterals -0- 19,300, 19.300. -
Total 0136,150. $155,450. 6291,600.
A total of 45 lots will be benefitted by the proposed con-
struction.
In addition to the above, there will probably eventually be
approximately 12 street lights required to serve the project,
which would be placed upon existing utility poles. The total
estimated cost of the street lights and arms is $4,000.00. The
Ordinance indicates that the City may assess the coat of the
lights to the Developer.
PublicBesafit. The proposed Subdivision will provide 45
single family house lots averaging approximately 9,000 square
feet eaeh, which would place them in a moderate price range.
There appears to be a shortage of lots of this type, since most
of the other existing Subdivisions are laid out with much larger
lots, and relatively high sales prices. Also, the number of
available subdivision house lots in the City has diminished during
the past ten years to the point where it is felt that additional
development is needed to support additional growth of the City.
Schedule of Co letion. The Finance Director has indicated
that them ere a oient undo in the Sewer Account to cover the
coat of the storm and sanitary sewer construction; however, there
ora not sufficient funds to cover the entire coat of the street
construction. For this mason, it is moommended that $70,000.00
be allotted from the General Fond - Reserve for Construction this
year, which will permit the construction of Drew Lane, and possibly
the partial completion of Shannon Drive, with an additional $70,000.00
to be authorized in 1956 for the completion of the remaining streets.
It is felt that most all of the storm and sanitary sewers could be
installed this year.
Because of the time required to obtain bide, construction will
not begin until late September, and a minimum amount of time is
available to complete the proposed construction during this season.

It is recommended that approval be given to construct the
Project as described show, and that the work be started as soon
as possible.
Respectfully submitted,

City Engineer
