Item No. 17-Q12
Date: November 14, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Execution of an Easement to Ice Holdings, LLC — Coffey
Street
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary: This Order, if approved, will authorize the City Manager to execute an
easement between the City of Bangor and Ice Holdings, LLC to provide for the construction of a
pad and installation of mechanical equipment within the setback limits of Coffey Street, and for
no other purpose.
Ice Holdings, LLC is the owner of a parcel of land and building on Coffey Street, which is a dead
end street. They are developing their property to include the installation of mechanical
equipment on a cement pad outside of the building. The Code of the City of Bangor requires a
30 foot setback for structures, including pads and mechanical equipment. Because of the
design and footprint of the building, it is necessary to develop the pad and mechanical
equipment within the 30 foot setback area.
The City is proposing an amendment to the Land Development Code for Planning Board and
Council consideration that would change the setbacks for exterior mechanical equipment to
reflect modern mechanical structural needs. However, that will take several weeks. Because of
the timing of this project and the need to place the cement pad prior to a hard freeze, the
mechanical needs to be done as soon as possible. Therefore, Ice Holdings, LLC has requested
an easement from the City in order to proceed with the construction of the pad pending any
amendments to the Code of the City of Bangor. The easement as requested will not create any
burden for the City or safety issues for pedestrians or traffic.
