CITY CLERK Perk Coastruetiw Ne t - HSrch Hill Palates InT.. d. d and Pied - C CITY OF RANCOR, MAINE Engineering Department MEMO July 2, 1981 To: John M. Lord, Planning Officer From John T. Frawley, City Engineer Subject: Birch Hill Estates Trailer Park Thin office has reviewed the latest Plane dated May 229 1981 for the subject project, and offer the following comments: 1. The lots are not numbered and the streets are not identified on the set of Plans which I have, no that it is difficult to describe the exact location of deficiencies. 2. On the Revised Lotting Plan, it appears that there are nine existing trailers which are too close to the right- of-way, being the road extending northwest from the circle. 3. There is one proposed trailer on the northeasterly side of the project area which is too close to the boundary line, being adjacent to property owned by the Eastern Maine Association for the Retarded, Inc. 4. On the Drainage Plan, the following comments are offered: (a) The Plan does not indicate where the drainage outlets along the southwest side of the project drain to, the, first point of concern being the existing 15" Pipe outlet located approximately 500 feet northwest of Judson Boulevard. It would appear that this drains towardthe future residential subdivision area. (b) I seriously doubt that the existing 12" storm drain has sufficient capacity to take the flow from the area above. It is felt that the Engineer should verify that it. has sufficient capacity, or the pipe should be replaced with a larger pipe. (c) The next drainage swale extends in a southerly direction, and apparently dumps directly onto Judson Boulevard. This should be connected into the existing catch basin on Judson Boulevard by a 15" minimum pipe connection into the side of the catch basin. (d) The drainage ditch on thesoutheastside, nearest to Judson Boulevard, connects into the existing 24" line on Judson Boulevard. This may suffice, although I believe that -1- we should have assurance from the Engineer that drainage cal- culations will support the additional volume of flow into that. sewer. (e) The most southerly storm sewer discharge enters an existing drainage seals which parallels Balsam Road, which in turn is connected into a 24" storm sewer on Balsam Road by a catch basin. I do not believe that the single catch basin grate will take the entire volume of water which this line would intercept, and would suggest that the catch basin should be removed, the ditch deepened, and the end of the 24" pipe rap - rapped to receive the flow. Again, the Engineer should give assurance that the flow calculations do not indicate that the existing 24" line will be overloaded. (f) In the easterlT corner of the project, there are two catch basins and a 15' sewer, and it is not clear as to where the sewer discharges. It would appear to be headed toward the land bordering the southeast side of the project,.. the ownership of which is not sbown. 5• On the Utility Plan, a pump station is indicated in the northeast corner of the project. It is felt that more specific information should be given to this unit,. i.e., .capacity, standby generation, overflow, etc. - - I -have relayed these comments to AmesEngineers. -2- Bangor, the Grain of Maine—the Gaesany to Maine's North Woody and Seashore REFI ROONEY G, MAKAY CITY HALL DINN,W BANGOR, MAINE HURT JOHN a LORD (lag of $angor, fame ,...:e,t..,�r., DEPARTMENT PIT PLANNING Rd COMMUNITY DIVE LOPMENT DATE: July 8, 1981 TO: The Honorable City Council FROM: The Planning Board SUBJECT: Mobilehome Park Construction Permit for Birch Hill Estates The BangorPlanningBoard at its regular meeting of July b, 1981 held a public hearing on the above requested Mobilehcme Park Construction Permit in accordance with Chapter X1, Article 4 of the Laws and Ordinances of the City of Bangor.

(2) I ON informed by the applicant0s agent, Oran G. 'Twitchell, that the applicanf wlehes to request a waiver from these requirements, in a special provision of the Nobilehone Park Ordinance, chapter Me Article 50 Section 3• (3) Alone the interaction of A and D Streets, the first lot an the left, formerly timbered �A-14; is a ten foot setback from the rightbS-way on DStreet; ten fact setback from the right-of-way, along AStreat, where twenty feet am mgaired; Lot numberi A-16, the second lot On the left, is located ten feet where twenty feet arerequired.from the right-of-way on AStreet; Lot number D-1, the first lot on the right at this inter- section is located one foot from the AStreet rigbtbf-way whew twenty feet are required and nineteen feet from ➢Street where twenty feet are required. I recommend that the Planning Board great the waiver requested under the Special ProviSim section of the Mobilehome Park Ordinance, I further recommend that aPProval of the Mabilehme Perk Construction permit be conditioned upon either the relocation of mobllehnaeelocated at lot mwbere 1111`D-14,�atxtn-l6�� m u to conform to the requirements of the Ordinance ox, (shoald'3� ettorn find this acceptable) that approval be conditioned upon relocation of these p ds at the time of replacement oP a new mobilehme. In regard to condition saistdng A the present time i.e., the presmt placement of mobilehomes upon these Iota, I do not believe that these condition are in and way baaardms, a poor design, or unsightly. However, there being no provision for a waiver m a Variance from the requiremed andr by virtue of the fact that this is a self-imposed hardship, I most recmmend that the terms of the Ordinance either be fully met or, that this matter be negotiated io the reasonably foreseeable future. Upon acceptance of either of these conditions, I would not be aware of any raasm wily Special EraePtim and Site Plan Approval should not also be graded Ion this project. The applicant should be reminded that after securing approval of these peace mita, the applicant moat immediately secure a temporary occupancy Permit and, MAJanuary (and each succeeding year thereafter) a Mobilehme Park Operators Mases, - kcs A.L.S,r III cc: Orman G.
