It should be noted that the frontages tabulated above for the various present property owners ;az}, in some cases, approximate, and would be subject to individual lot surveys to determine precise distances.- In most cases, the dimensions were taken from the original Hillside Subdivision Plan. There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting Mrs. Esther L. Spellman of 1 Chapin Street, and Mr. Paul Spellman. Mrs. Spellman was advised that the discontinuance of Chapin Street would not affect her property, since it included. only that portion which lies within the Bangor High School:'Nlot; the existing right-of-way in front of her house would remain. She was further advised that the discontinuance of Evans Street along the westerly line of her property would result in the addition of 25 feet of land to the westerly side of her lot. Since all of the Streets listed above have not been constructed, and do not provide any benefit to the adjacent properties, it is recommended that no damages be paid, and that no benefits be assessed as a result of said discontinuance. Furthermore, it is not necessary that the City of Bangor retain a public easement to said rights-of-way, and it is presumed that any remaining interests of the City of Bangor in said rights-of-way shall pass to the abutting property owners to the center of each way. It is further recommended that all of the Streets described above be removed from the Official City Map. -5- A Plan showing the Streets to be discontinued, City of Bangor Plan No. 1-145 A, is attached.
