Re: Discontinuance of a Portion of Hildreth Street
Dear Councilors,
The Community and Economic Development Department have been contacted by J.B. Brown &
Sons with a request for the City of Bangor to discontinue a portion of Hildreth Street that abuts
their property.
Hildreth Street, which is located on the south side off of Outer Hammond Street, was originally
accepted by the Bangor City Council on January 23, 1946. The, cuirrent developed portion of
Hildreth Street includes an 80 foot wide right of way and has a length of 2,000 feet,
The portion of right of way requested to be discontinued lies south of the developed portion of
roadway and is depicted in, a layout plan developed by the Bangor Real Estate Development Co.
and approved by City Council in 1951. This section of right of way has a width of 40 feet for its
first 250 feet and then increases to 80 feet for an aipproximate length of 625 feet. This portion
of Hildreth Street right of way terminates at the existing railroad right of way. This portion of
right of way has yet to be improved and the City has no current plans for constructing this
segment of roadway.
Much of the stormwater from the Hildreth Street development drains to this southerly portion
of right of way via an 18" reinforced' concrete pipe (RCP). The Engineering Department
recommends that should this portion of right of way be discontinued, the City maintain a
twenty foot wide stormwater easement centered on the existing drainage pipe for future
maintenance.
In order to discontinue a public right of way, the city must complete the, process in accordance
with 23 M.R.S.A. § 3026-A which includes notification to abutters, posting notice, publiic
meeting, and the preparation of a report of findings by the City Engineer.
73 HARLOW STREET BANGOR, ME 04401
TELEPHONE: (207) 992-4250 FAX: (207) 992-4194

Because the City has no future plans to construct an extension to Mildreth Street and where
both sides of this right of way is owned by a single property owner, the Engineering
Department recommends that the Bangor Council authorize the City Engineer to initiate the
process to discontinue a portion of the Mildreth Street right of way as depicted in Exhibit A that
accompanies this memo.
I look forward to discussing this topic with you at the January 17, 2023 Infrastructure Meeting.
Sincerely,
[A7t7
