And that the said City Engineer met at thetime and place of meeting� specified in the notices
and proceeded W lay out. said right-of-way as £allows:
Beginning at a point formed by the intersection of the
westerly line of Holland Street and the southerly line of
Fourteenth Street extended; thence N 761-44'-22" W along said
southerly line of Fourteenth Street for a distance of 120 feet;
thence S 00-46'-40" W for a distance of 155.92 feet to the
westerly line of Holland Street; thence northeast along said
westerly line of Holland Street for a distance of 175 feet to
the point of beginning. The above-described parcel contains
0.21 acres and is part of the same premises conveyed to the
Boman Catholic Bishop of Portland by Edward McSweeney asre-
corded
in Penobscot Registry of Deeds, Volume 659, page 23
September 3, 1908; and Mary Garrity et al as recorded i
Penobscot Registry of Deeds, Volume 929, page 309 on December
9, 1920.
There appeared at the time and place set for the hearing
Father James Keegan, representing the Roman Catholic Bishop
Of Portland and Mrs. Mary Hunt Of 61 Holland Street. It was
explained that it was the intent of the proposed acquisition to
provide sufficient area to permit the construction of a cul -de -
see on Holland Street located south of the new Fourteenth Street
crossing, thereby discontinuing Holland Street as a through
street. Father Keegan was opposed tO the acquisition inasmuch
as it involved land which wasintended for the future expansion
of Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Mrs. Hunt was opposed t0 the dis-
continuance of Holland Street as
a through street since taxis
would refuse to provide service
to her property during icy
weather, because of the steepreturn grade to Ohio Street. The
City Engineer explained chat the elimination of the connection
of Holland Street to Fourteenth Street won do away with a
potentially dangerous in - rsection because of the steepness of
the approach. The City Engineer did agree, however, to conduct
additional studies Of alternate locations act the connection i
an attempt to improve the grade. Further nvestigation revealed
that an intersection grade of less than 7 per cent w not pos-
sible and both Mrs. Hunt and Father Keegan were
informed of our
intent to lay out the land for the cul-de-sac as originally in-
tended.
n-tended. Father Keegan was also informed that damages in the
amount of $1280 were
recommended for the taking, based upon
damages previously paid for the acquisition of the Fourteenth
Street right-of-way.
it is, therefore, recommended that ti=_ acquisition be
laid out as described shavesas a part of Holland Street and
that the recomended damages be paid. Tic proposed laying
out is shown on City of Bangor Plan No. 753, dated February,
1965, by Revision No. 1, dated July, 1968, on file in the
office of the City Engineer.
very truly yours,
