RE: Land Acquisition on Hillside Avenue
There is a 4 acre parcel on Hillside Avenue that should be considered
immediately for City acquisition and use while it is still available.
We have been through a round robin on this area, which is now up for
sale as commercial property.
It seems to me that park development for most of this piece would be
better than to have same warehouse on top of Grandview Avenue. This seems to
spoil our park concept for the area.
The short history has been:
I. Consideration that this area
could be developed into the
park with the 701 and open space program.
2. Clearance by the owner up for sale.
3. My request, the Council consider acquisition.
4. Building permit for upper and.
5. 2oriag ebauge ordinance (at my request).
6. Planning Board and Council turned down change - but the
Planning Board recommended that the City purchase the area.
I think it is vital that the City acquire a large portion of the area
to prevent development.
1. This finger of commercial development will not be compatible
with the public development of the area (School - Prentiss
Woods).
2. Potential use of Hillside Avenue as an access to the
Shopping Canter will be deterred,
^\
3. Commercial development will act as catalyst for the
eat of the e r to and including £roadway, - and
extending there ever
strip on Broadway will only
aggravate our traffic problem there and at the interchange.
Immediate action must be taken to clarify and c u-irm the City's posi-
tion either way, before the owners take further action. The assessed valve
of the 4+ ac site is $5,144. 1 have heard figures of as much as $20,000 as
the asking price
The area is
outlined on
the enclosed map.

RB: Acquisition of land on Hillside Avenue
Gentlemen
The Planning Hoard and the Planning Staff have c osideced the future
of the Hillside Avenue area
and It Is their unanimous feeling that the City
of Bangor should acquireapprozlme tely 4 Acres of land on the east side of
Hillside Avenue, by negotiation with the owners for the protection of the
Park and Institutional area of the Nigh School complex and the development
of the Prentiss Woods Nature Center. Further, that the acquisition Is not
inconsistent with the projections of the "701" plan.
Sincerely yours,
Planning Director
