Beginning at a point on the northwesterly right-of-way
line of Sunset Avenue, as laid out and accepted as a public
way by the Bangor City Council by Council Order No. 219-q
passed September 9, 1%3, said point of beginning being 787.40
feet southwest from the southwesterly right-of-way line of
Union Street, as measured along said northwesterly line of
Sunset Avenue, said point of beginning being an the centerline
of that portion of said right-of-way to be discontinued; thence
in a northwesterly direction, forming an interior angle of
930 08' 40" with said northwesterly right-of-way line of
Sunset Avenue, for a distance of 197.00 feet to a point.
The portion of the right-of-way to be discontinued is 50
feet wide, measuring 25 feet at right angles to either side
of the above-described centerline, with a 100 -foot diameter
cul-de-sac at the northwesterly end, the center of which is
coincident with the northwesterly terminus of the above-
described centerline.
There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting
Edward D. Leonard, III, Esq., representing the owner of the
adjacent property, Mr. John B. Dyer, who was the original
petitioner for the street discontinuance. The discontinuance
has been requested because that portion of the roadway has
never been constructed, and the right-of-way serves no useful
purposes; furthermore, it would interfere with the proposed
development of the Dyer land. Mr. Leonard raised the question
as to whethea:a public easement would be retained, and the City
Engineer indicated that he would recommend -that no public ease-
ment was necessary, since there are no existing utilities or
other public need to retain such an easement. Mr. Leonard
spoke in favor of the proposed discontinuance as proposed.
The City Engineer had previous discussions with all of
the other property owners on Sunset Avenue, who had been given
written notice of the hearing, and none objected to the proposed
discontinuance.
The question of discontinuance was referred to the Planning
Board for their consideration relative to. removing it from the
Official City Map, which was approved. A copy of a letter from
the Plaming Officer in that regard is attached.
For these reasons, it is recommended that the right-of-
way be discontinued as described above, and that no damages
be paid as a result of said discontinuance, and it is further
recommended that no public easement be retained.
