Item No. 10 014
Date: November 9, 2009
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Execution of Municipal Quitclaim Deed — Real Estate
Located at 401 Pushaw Road.
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
Open Arms and Hands of Hope Ministries is acquiring the title to the church located at 401 Pushaw
Road, the corner of Pushaw Road and Church Road (Tax Map R30, Lot 5). The City's tax records
indicate the current owner is the East Congregational Church Society. The Church received the
property from the City of Bangor by deed dated March 14, 1941.
However, the legal description in this deed is for a 100'x 150' piece of property on Pushaw Road
(referred to as Glenburn Road in the deed) closer to Broadway (referred to as Six Miles Falls Road
in the deed). It appears that this is actually the legal description to Tax Map R30, Lot 5A. East
Bangor Congregational Church Society conveyed this property back to the City by a deed dated
June 6, 1973. A reasonable assumption is that when the error to the 1941 deed was discovered
the East Bangor Congregational Church Society conveyed it back to the City. Because the
assessing records shows the property to be owned by the Church, it may have been that a
corrective deed was issued in 1973. However, we cannot find a deed. Absent an unrecorded deed,
it appears as if title to the church lot still rests with the City of Bangor.
The buyer is asking the City's assistance in clearing title to the property by issuing a Municipal quit
claim deed.
