208-R -3
Description of Widening
Beginning at a point formed by the Intersection of the
westerly right of way line of Union Street and the northerly
right of way line of Westland Avenue; thence in a northwest
direction along the westerly side line of Union Street for a
distance of thirty (30) feet; thence southwest along a line
at right angles to the last described line for a distance of
sixty-three and thirty-eight hundredths (63.38) feet to the
northerly right of way line of Westland Avenue; thence south-
east along the northerly right of way line of Westland Avenue
for a distance of seventy and thirteen hundredths (70.13) feet
to the point of beginning. The above described area contains nine
hundred and thirty (930) square feet and forme a part of a lot
owned by Bearl Moores Heirs. The total recommended damages to be
paid for the above described land are one hundred and thirty-five
dollars (5135.00).
There appeared at the time and place set for the meeting
Mrs. Zelma Moores and Mr. Desmond Moores, heirs of the above
described property. They were informed of our intentions for
the widening of Westland Avenue and were advised of the damages
recommended for the taking as well as their rights under the law
to appeal the recommended damages. Mr. Moores felt that the tak-
ing of thirty (30) feet of frontage from the property would de-
crease Its value substantially and he stated that he felt that
the City of Bangor should buy the entire property. It was pointed
out to Mr. Moores that the frontage remaining on the property after
the taking will be sixty (60) feet and that the depth of the lot
will not be changed, which still leaves the property suitable for
residential development and In conformance with the requirements
of the City of Bangor Zoning Ordinances. It was pointed out to
Mr. Moores that the parcel of land being taken is triangular in
shape as that the extent of its benefit to the remainder of the
property Is questionable. Mr. Moores felt that the recommended
damages were not equitable and requested that they be reviewed.
It is recommended that the above described widening be es-
tablished to permit the proper reconstruction of Westland Avenue.
Details of said widening are shown on City of Bangor Plan No. 799
which 1s on file In the office of the City Engineer.
