Tb the Municipal Officers:
Pursuant to previous requests for a cost study for the
construction of a roadway to be located north of Bangor
Gardens and to extend between Broadway and Kenduskeag
Avenue, the following information is submitted:
The proposed roadway would commence at Broadway alightly
north of the intersection of School Street, and would extend
in a generally westerly direction, intersecting the access
cad to Mason College approximately 300 feet east of Ken-
duskeag Avenue. The initial intent of the roadway would be
to serve a proposed residential development to be developed
north of Bangor .Gardena by Warren .Sawyer.
It is proposed that the roadway construction consist of
a 24 foot wide travel way having a 3 inch bituminous concrete
surface on an 18 inch gravel base, with 8 foot gravel shoulders
on each side and open ditches, except for the frontage along
the Sawyer development, where the shoulders would be paved,
catch basins and asphalt curb would be installed, with a storm
sewer pipe to transport surface sun -off.
Tne estimated cost for constructing the roadway for
the entire length between the Reason College access road
and Broadway is $215,000.00. It is recommended that the
cost of construction be assessed as follows:
Owner .Total Frontage Assessment
Burson College 2,620 feet $66,000.00
Charles E. Locke 640 feet $12,000.00
Warren Sawyer 1,760 feet $72,000.00
.Mary Johnson 150 feet $ 1,500.00
City of Bangor -------- $63,500.00
Total $215,000.00
page Two
This estimate provides for the city to pay $12.75
per foot for the roadway having gravel shoulders, and
open ditches, with a sidewalk on one side, together
with fifty per cent (50%) of the cost of the storm
sewer system adjacent to the Sawyer development. .The
other property owners would not be assessed
ssed for the
additional improvements to be provided along the
Sawyer frontage, since they would receive no additional
benefit from thoseimprovements. future development
of those properties may warrant future improvements
of a similar -nature, and additional assessments
against those properties.
The above estimate is preliminary,. since field
surveys have not been undertaken WE have subsurface
explorations been performed. Furthermore, the other
adjacent property owners involved have not yet been
contacted relatTym.$ to the possible payBant of a e ss-
ments. Since the other properties are not to be
developed immediately, it is expected that the
assessments would have to be deferred until develop-
ment took place, with the exception of the proposed
development by Warren Sawyer.
It is recommended that this office be directed
to proceed with detailed plans and cost estimates,
appraisals for sight -of -way acquisition, notification
of other adjacent property owners relative to esti-
mated assessments, and all other work necessary to
prepare for the construction of the roadway. It is
further recommended that the roadway construction be
started only upon the condition that the Sawyer
development be undertaken, and that the assessment
against no Sawyer property be levied immediately
upon the completion of the roadway construction.
Respectfully submitted,
