Title, Order
Authorizing the Execution of Documents to Amend Conditions in a Deed from City of Bangor to Penobscot
Community Health Care - Union Street
This Order will authorize an extension of time for PCHC to comply with deed conditions regarding a
parcel of vacant land on Union Street. On June 16, 2009, the City conveyed approximately one-half
acre of vacant land to Penobscot Community Health Care (PCHC). The land abuts PCHC's Bangor
Medical Center complex on Union Street. Deed conditions required that the land was to be used to
construct parking, meet impervious surface ratio requirements of the Bangor Land Development
Code, or some combination. The deed also required that the conditions were to be completed within
five years of the date of the deed, or the property would revert back to the City in return for the
purchase price.
The planning and implementation phase of this project has taken significantly longer than originally
anticipated. PCHC has requested and received a pair of two-year extensions to the time period for
meeting the above condition. In return PCHC agreed to make a thirty percent (30%) payment in
lieu of taxes (PILOT) on the parcel to the City. PCHC has now asked for a third two-year extension,
which would extend the date for satisfying the conditions of the deed to June of 2020.
Recommend for passage
This item was discussed in an executive session at the Business and Economic Development Committee on
December 17, 2019.
