building located at 22 Cleveland Street, Bangor, the former Pine Tree Inn. If approved, this
order will grant Mr. Karnes exclusive status as developer of the site until May 29, 2015. During
this period, Mr. Karnes and City staff would have an opportunity to negotiate and submit for the
City Council's consideration a Development Agreement containing the terms and conditions
under which Mr. Karnes would purchase the property and make improvements for its use as
"extended stay suites". The Development Agreement will provide information sufficient in detail
to outline the general scope of the improvements proposed and to convey to the City sufficient
information to determine the level of investment and character of the work to be performed.
This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Business & Economic
Development Committee at its February 17, 2015 meeting.
