In 2002, the abutters to that lot were Erlene M. Morgan (at 178 Ohio Street) and Larry A. Carr (at 190 Ohio Street). At that same time, the City of Bangor attempted to divide the 186 Ohio Street lot in two by deeding, with restrictions, the northerly portion to Larry Carr and the southerly portion to Erlene Morgan. Unfortunately, the City deeded the southerly portion of the 186 Ohio Street property twice: first to Larry Carr and then to Erlene Morgan. To fix the title issues to the southerly portion that the above, the City must now accept a quitclaim deed from Jeffrey H. Beardsworth and Gertrude A. Beardsworth, who are successors in title to Larry A. Carr, and execute a quitclaim deed to Erlene Morgan, who still owns the 178 Ohio Street property. This order is associated with another order relating to Tax Map 32, Lot 101.
