Said tight -of -way is more fully shown on aPlan prepared by the City of Bangor Engineering Department entitled "Right-of-way Plan, Hudson Avenue" Plan No. R-871,, Sheets 1 through 3 of 3, dated June 1, 1976, to be recorded in said Penobscot Registry of Deeds. Said Plan shows the following land and easement acquisitions which are attendant to said right- of-way: -3 - Land owned by Musson College as recorded in Penobscot Registry of. Deeds. vol. 2031.

Said drainage easements are intended to grant unto the City of Bangor or its agents the right to enter upon the adjacent property for all purposes necessary to install, maintain, alter, replace, modify, improve and otherwise establish, install, and maintain storm water culverts and ditches. for Conveying surface water in existing natural drainage ways, as wells a surface and subsurface water from the proposed new roadway, in the location shown on the subject Plans. Said temporary grading easements are intended to permit the City or its agents the right to enter upon the land adjacent to said eight -of -way within the limits shown on the right-of-way Plans described above for all purposes necessary to grade said land to meet the proposed new roadway, said areas to be fine - 'graded, loamed, fertilized, and seeded, and to be maintained by the City only until an acceptable stand of grass is established. -4 - And the City Engineer proceeded to establish a. grade for said roadway, as follows: No change will be made to the existing grade of the access road extending northeast from Kenduskeag Avenue for a distance of 1,600 feet from Kenduskeag Avenue. A grade for the new roadway will commence at the southeasterly edge of pavement at that point at Elevation 153.62 feet; thence descending ona grade of 1.918 per cent for a distance of 214 feet to Elevation 149.52; thence along a 400 foot concave vertical curve having an external of 1.26 feet to Elevation 146.88; thence ascending on a grade of 0.60 per cent for a distance of 950 feet to Elevation 152.58 feet; thence ascending o vertical curve having a sc n a concave v u n external of 1.92 feet for a distance of 400 feet to Elevation 162.67 feet; thence continuing to ascend o a Elevation of 4.444 per cent for a distance of 150 having an external o 169.33 feet; thence along a convex curve having an external of 1.22 feet for a distance of 300 feet t0 Elevation cent for thence continuing to ascend o a grade of he1.203 ed per cent for a distance of 498 feet, more or less, to the edge of the existing pavement on Broadway to at Elevation 183.60. The above described Elevations refer to Bangor City Datum. - There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting, Mi. F. A. Peters, President of Musson College; Mr. D. N. Merrill, Vice President of Musson College; Frank Grant, owner of Home Decorating Center at 732 Broadway; William M. Stockson, President of M. L. Coffin Company, Inc.; Margaret G. Coffin; George F. Peabody, Attorney representing Mrs. Coffin; Robert P. Murray; .,(r the City Engineer; and Orman G. Twitchell. The City Engineer proceeded to inform those present that the right-of-way was to be acquired by Eminent Domain, as directed by City Council- Order 242 AD passed May 24tb, 1976. The proposed roadway was described,aitidjan explanation given as to the general reasons for its location. Mr. Murray repeatedly indicated that the proposed right-of�way location was poor, and that it should be aligned with School Street. After a reasonable explanation as to why the School Street location was not feasible, the City Engineer reminded Mr. Murray and those present that the City Council had directed him to lay out the roadway in the location shown on the Plans being presented, and that he was not authorized to change the location. The Musson College officials were advised that the City proposed to acquire the existing access road from Kenduskeag Avenue, which was originally built by the City to acceptable standards, so that Husson College would no longer be required to maintain that portion of the roadway. The City Engineer advised those present who owned property East of the Musson College land that the proposed roadway location would i -5- benefit the future development of their property if such development were desired. Mr. Grant was advised that the roadway s positioned adjacent to his northerly property line so as not to encroach upon his existing parking area. when asked by Mr. Peabody as to why the right -o£ -way required B;i'fset of the Coffin property frontage on Broadway, he was advised "by the City Engineer that it was both to preserve Mr. Grant's parking area and to make a 900 intersection with Broadway. Mr. Murray indicated that the existing pond located on the land owned by Johnson and Aubrey located to the south of the proposed new roadway would be pol- luted by road salt. The City Engineer advised Mr. Murray that only 400 feet of road would drain toward the pond, and the flat grade (1.203%), would probably not necessitate the use of road salt. In any event, the City Engineer felt that the concentration of salt would not be sufficient to pollute the pond. Based upon an Appraiser's report with modifications, the following damages were recommended for right-cf-way acquisition: Land owned by Musson College Land Acquisition 5.90 Acres; Recommended Damages: $17,500.00 Land owned b Mar J. Johnson an argare ,tl..`ALbrey Land Acquisition .373 Acres; Recommended Damages: 750.00 Land owned by Robert P. Murray Land Acquisition .119 Acres; Recommended Damages: 11200.00 Land owned by Margaret G. Coffin Land Acquisition .690 Acres; Recommended Damages: 13,000.00 Land owned by Frank A. Grant Land Acquisition .044 Acres; Recommended Damages: 17600.00 Total Recommended Damages for Land Acquisition: 834,050.00 No damages are recommended for temporary grading easements, since the land will be restored to its original condition and will not be used further by the public. Furthermore, no damages e recommended for the proposed drainage easements, since the natural flow of water occurs at the locations where the ease- ments are to be established; the roadway construction will intercept a considerable amount of water within the roadway area, which should make areas other than the drainage easement areas generally drier than they are at the present time• The City Engineer then proceeded to describe the benefits - as a result of the roadway construction, which would eventually be levied against the property as construction assessments. The total current estimated cost of the roadway construction is $142,770.00, which does not include proposed improvements n Broadway which will include a traffic signal and the paving of existing gravel shoulders. Since this roadway is classified as a Residential 11 street, consisting of a 40 foot roadway with a sidewalk on one site, the City's share would be $14.00 per foot, or $40,740.00 for the 2,910 feet of new roadway. This would leave $102,030.00 to be assessed. The total estimated cost of the storm sever is $36,010.00, of which the City would pay 50%, with the remaining $18,005.00 to be assessed. The total assessment would therefore be $120,035.00. It is recommended that the assessment be pro rated on the basis of total area served on the subject properties, beginning with 19.42 acres in the proposed Bradford Commons development, the initial Petitioner for the roadway construction. To deter- mine the other areas to be benefited, a depth of 200 feet from the roadway was assumed, except for the Grant property which has a depth of only 125 feet. Furthermore, the triangular piece at the southeasterly corner of the Musson property was computed at 1/3 of the actual area. Corner lots on Broadway and at the existing Musson College access road were pro rated at the rate of 50% for the first 200 feet. Accordingly, it was determined that 34.63 acres benefited by the construction, resulting in an assessment of $3,466.00 per acre. The estimated assessments on this basis are as follows: Musson College $32,480.00 Bradford Commons 679310.00 Mary Johnson & Margaret Aubrey 61516.00 Frank A. Grant 19040.00 Robert P. Murray 29565.00 Margaret G. Coffin 10,124.00 Total: S1209035.00 _>_ Those present were reminded that these assessments are estimates only, and the actual assessments will be based upon the final costs of construction. Those present were also advised that the assessments would be deferred until the adja- cent properties were developed and/or access to their properties were requested. Deferment would be based upon the execution of an acceptable subordinate Agreement which would be recorded in the Registry of Deeds covering the outstanding assessments. Mr. Peters and Mr. Merrill of Hasson College did not object to the roadway laying out, but did object to the recommended damages, and requested that a hearing be scheduled to review the amount recommended. Mr. Murray was in complete opposition to the roadway, especially to its location., M[: Peabody,. representing Mrs. Coffin, later indicated that he in no way objected to the location of the roadway ,lmq.t wished to reserve the right of his client to object to the"amount of recommended damages pending further study. No other objections were noted. It is recommended that the damages be paid as described above, and that the assessments be deferred against all proper- ties except the Bradford Commons development, to be levied as soon as final construction costs are known. It is further recommended that said street be laid out and established as a public way, to be named and known as Hassan Avenue, and that it be added to the Official City Map. A copy of the right- of-way Plan is attached to this report. .\\Rees'p'e`'cttfully submitted, Bohn T.
