Item No. 15-258
Date: July 27, 2015
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Execution of Documents for Consent to Subdivision of Maliseet
Plaza (Map 049, Lot 224)
Responsible Department: Community and Economic Development
Commentary: This Order would authorize execution of any documents necessary to give the City's
express permission to allow the subdivision of Maliseet Plaza. In 1987 the City conveyed property to
the Houlton Band of Maliseet Indians for the development of the Maliseet Gardens complex. For
reasons unknown at this time, the deed contained a restriction that the property may not be
subdivided without the express permission of the City. The development, which has been for sale for
some time, has a section of residential units on the corners of Oak and York Streets and commercial
space along the corners of York, and Exchange Streets. A buyer has come forward who wishes to
renovate the residential units and sell those units, as the proposed buyer is not a residential
developer. In order to release this deed restriction, Council approval is required.
This item was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Business & Economic Development
Committee at its meeting on July 21, 2015.
