Item No. 16-158
Date: April 25, 2016
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Execution of Documents to Amend Conditions in Deed
From City of Bangor to Penobscot Community Health Care — Union Street
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
This Order will authorize the execution of documents with Penobscot Community Health Care
necessary to extend time to comply with the deed conditions from June 2016 to June 16, 2018.
By deed dated June 16, 2009, the City conveyed to Penobscot Community Health Care (PCHC)
approximately one-half acre of vacant land abutting its Bangor Medical Center complex on Union
Street. A condition of the deed was that the land was to be used only for the purpose of
meeting impervious surface ratio requirements of the City of Bangor Land Development Code to
construct additional parking on its complex or to construct parking on the conveyed parcel or
both and for no other purposes. The deed also included a condition that if it is not done within
five years of the date of the deed the property reverts to the City in return for the purchase
price.
In 2014 Penobscot Community Health Care requested an amendment to the conditions and the
deed to give it an additional two years to comply with the requirement that it use the property.
The development planned by Penobscot Community Health Care did not take place as quickly as
it had anticipated and it will not be able to comply with the deed conditions in the time required.
Penobscot Community Health Care has asked for additional time of another two years to comply
with the deed conditions. This item was reviewed and recommended for approval at the
Business and Economic Development meeting of April 19, 2016.
