Easements: Thornton Rd, Maps & Lots R42-041 & R42-042 John Theriault provided the background activities associated with the easement. Richard May explained the City routinely has sanitary sewer and stormwater crossing private properties through easements. In reviewing the property records at the Penobscot Registry of Deeds for the properties at 165 and 169 Thornton Road he found no recorded easements for existing public infrastructure on those properties, and no record of an easement in the recorded subdivision plans for these properties either. The City is the current owner of 169 Thornton Road and can issue itself an easement before the property is sold. The owner of 165 Thornton Road was sent a letter to inquire if they would be willing to give the City an easement to maintain the existing sanitary sewer line that is partially on their property, with no response. Vote: Moved and seconded to forward to Council. 2. Easement: Versant Power, MR08-011 Pine Grove Cemetery John Theriault explained the request to execute an easement with Versant Power for the Pine Grove Cemetery. The easement is triangular shaped and extends along the westerly boundary and southerly boundary for twenty feet and includes approximately 200 square feet of property. The easement would provide overhead power to the new tiny home development being constructed to the immediate west of Pine Grove Cemetery. The easement will not impact the use or maintenance of the cemetery. Vote: Moved and second to forward to Council. 3.
