Title, Order
Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Developement Agreement with William Matthew Hinton and a
Quitclaim Deed for Real Estate Located at 69 Walter Street.
This order would authorize the City Manager to execute a development agreement with William
Matthew Hinton for 69 Walter Street. It will also authorize the City Manager to execute a deed with
reverter provisions as part of the agreement.
Currently, the City of Bangor has an ownership interest in 69 Walter Street by way of matured liens
assessed against Karen Lee Stewart. Karen Lee Stewart would like to sell the property to William
Matthew Hinton and would like the City to release its ownership interest as part of the closing.
However, there are code concerns on the property, including a failing foundation. As part of the
closing, the buyer is willing to enter into a development agreement with the City that would require
said buyer to rehabilitate the property.
Additionally, the development agreement will include the requirements that the buyer obtain a
building permit on or before June 1, 2021, that the buyer finish the rehabilitation and obtain a
certificate of occupancy within one year of obtaining the building permit, and that taxes or a
payment in lieu of taxes always be paid upon the property. The agreement shall be in a final form as
approved by the City Solicitor's Office.
