City Parcel B-13 Located at the Intersection of Washington and Exchange
Bonuses.
Responsible Department City Manager
Commentary:
I recently met with Ted Glessner, State Court Administrator, regarding the now approved Court
replacement project for Bangor that will be located on the City owned parcel located at the intereecdon of
Washington and Exchange Streets. While the project: has been approved, significant funding for it will
not be available un l after October 2006. Nevertheless, the Court Sy4em is beginning to work on the
project and will need legal scantling in regard to Me property in order W begin it efforts.
At the meeting, 1 outlined the City's normal processes in regard to the development of City -owned land
and provided Mr. Glessner with a generic example of our standard development agreement. As a result
of that discussion, Mr. Glessner has requested that the On, designate the Court System as One lova e
developer of our parcel (B-13) to allow the dry and the SM[e to begin working an the actual development
agreement. We agreed that if this states is granted untll December 31, 2005, sufficient time would be
allowed to negotiate the terms and conditions of the development agreement.
During our discussion, Mr. Gles mor indicated a strong desire M work closely with the Gly on both the site
plan for Me project, In an effort M maximize on-site parking, and on the design of the building. He also
appeared to be supportive of the standard approach we take in our development agreements of requiring
City approval of both preliminary and final plans.
The Business and Economic DevNopment Committee recomends that tentati developer status be
granted to the State Court System until December 31, 2005.
