Said notice with a detailed plan was also posted on the public notice board at City Hall and on utility poles in
the vicinity of the proposed discontinuance.
In accordance with the notification given, the City Engineer conducted a public hearing on June 13, 2024 at
1:00 p.m. relative to the intention of the Municipal Officers of the City of Bangor to discontinue a portion of
Coffey Street.
Interested attendees to the public hearing totaled one, Mr.Jasper Walsh. Mr.Walsh of Maine Distributors was
supportive of the discontinuance.
The City Engineer concluded and made the following determinations:
1. The portion of right of way is 80 feet wide and e�ends for about 800 feet west from Hildreth
Street to the Bangor/Hermon Town Line. Portions of Coffey Street west of Hildreth Street were
accepted by the City of Bangor in September of 1959. This City Street was originally named
Curtis Street with the name changing to Coffey Street in 1967.
2. The total area of right of way to be discontinued is about 61,850 square feet(1.42 acre +)for a
distance of 790+/-feet.
3. The portion of right of way to be discontinued begins 10 feet west of the Hildreth Street right of
way and continues westerly to the Bangor/Hermon Town Line.
4. There is no longer any public interest or need to retain the portion of Coffey Street as a public
Right-Of-Way.
5. The City will maintain 10 foot width of right of way just west of Hildreth Street to allow the City to
maintain the existing intersection drainage.
6. In accordance with 23 M.R.S.A. § 3026-A, abutting property owners are entitled to $0.00
damages.
It is recommended that the portion of Coffey Street be discontinued and vacated in its entirety,as depicted in
"Exhibit A"and be removed from the Official City Map.with the City's retention of a ten foot width of Right-Of-
Way just west of Hildreth Street which allows for the City to maintain the existing intersection drainage.
Respec�ully Subrnitted,
