Article XVIII Subdivision of Land
This article provides specific instructions and the necessary development standards for the review of subdivisions under the land development permit review process established in Article XVI. This review meets the requirements of 30-A M.R.S.A. §§ 4401 through 4407, the Subdivision Law, which requires local approval of subdivisions, and also meets the requirements of 38 M.R.S.A. § 489-A of the Site Location of Development Act for municipal review of subdivisions (in place of the Board of Environmental Protection). For the purpose of this chapter, the Planning Board of the City of Bangor is hereby designated the municipal reviewing authority.
Preapplication is not mandatory under this chapter but is recommended for any large development.
A preapplication may be filed by the subdivider or his/her agent with the Staff Coordinator at any time. The purpose of such preapplication is to provide the subdivider and the planning staff with an informal forum to discuss a proposed subdivision regarding procedures for application, lotting arrangements, solar access of lots, street layout and other objectives of this article.
A preapplication plat shall show on a map such information as necessary to enable the subdivider and the Planning Officer to review and comment on the proposed subdivision.
After review of the preapplication plat, the Planning Officer may notify the subdivider, in writing, of any ordinance requirements, planning concerns or recommendations regarding the proposed subdivision.
Application. The subdivider seeking approval of a minor subdivision shall file an application for minor subdivision plat approval with the Staff Coordinator. The application shall include the submission of prints consistent with the requirements of § 165-112, and at least two reproducible copies of the final lotting plan meeting the recording requirements of the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds and the submission of a topographic map of the subdivision having contours of not greater than two-foot intervals.
[Amended 1-12-2009 by Ord. No. 09-029; 1-9-2017 by Ord. No. 17-055]
Review. The Planning Officer shall review the application for compliance with the provisions of this chapter and shall, within 10 days, either place the application on the agenda for the next Planning Board meeting or notify the subdivider, in writing, of the deficiencies in the application and recommend modifications. The subdivider may then either amend the application in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning Officer or request review thereon without amendment at the next regularly scheduled Planning Board meeting.
Preparation. The final subdivision plat for a minor subdivision and the topographic map required in Subsection B above shall be prepared or approved by a registered land surveyor or a registered professional engineer, shall contain a signature block, and shall bear the stamp of such registered person.
Contents. The final subdivision plat for a minor subdivision shall contain the following:
The date; the names of the owner, subdivider and subdivision; arrow showing true North; the lot area(s) and total acreage of the subdivision; and the scale, not less than 100 feet to the inch.
The boundary lines and the individual lot lines with dimensions and a tie to some existing known mark approved by the City Engineer.
The location of existing and proposed monuments and pins.
The relation of the proposed subdivision to the existing street system.
All lands reserved for open space, public as well as private, or for future access.
The location of abutting properties and the names of the abutting property owners.
The location and use of all existing or proposed easements within the subdivision.
Evidence of the feasibility of provision of on-site waste disposal on each lot where public sewerage is not available.
Additional information. The subdivider shall provide any other information that the Planning Board deems necessary in order to adequately review the minor subdivision proposal, including but not limited to data on soils, wetlands and drainage.
Minor subdivision approval standards. When reviewing a final plan of a minor subdivision, the Planning Board shall determine that the subdivision meets the following standards:
The subdivision shall meet the State of Maine guidelines for subdivision approval contained in 30-A M.R.S.A. § 4404, as may be amended.
The plat shall conform to existing zoning regulations regarding lot dimensions and areas.
At least one side of every lot shall abut an existing improved public street or a Planning Board approved private street.
The side lot lines shall be at right angles to straight street lines and radial to curved street lines unless a variation from this will provide improved solar access.
Corner lots shall have adequate width to permit required building setback from both streets.
The subdivision part shall contain all the information required in Subsection D(1) through (8) above.
Review by Engineering Department. Before approval of the final subdivision plat by the Planning Board, a review of such plat shall be made by the Engineering Department for compliance with health, sanitation and engineering standards, and in no case shall a final plat of a minor subdivision be approved by the Planning Board without a written report from the City Engineer.
Action by the Planning Board. The signature of a majority of the Planning Board members (four members) on this final lotting plan shall constitute final approval of a minor subdivision. If disapproved, the Planning Officer shall notify the subdivider, in writing, of the reasons for such disapproval and shall return the reproducible copies of the final plat to the subdivider.
[Amended 12-27-2000 by Ord. No. 01-63; 2-11-2008 by Ord. No. 08-070]

Streets shall be laid out so that no intersection shall be at an angle of less than 60º.
There shall be no permanent dead-end streets without a paved turnaround having a minimum outside diameter of 100 feet. As an alternative, short (500 feet or less in length) residential access streets may have paved hammerhead turnarounds if approved by the City Engineer.
Land designated on the Official Map for right-of-way purposes shall be set aside in the subdivision for that purpose and deeded to the City.
Street grades shall be not less than 1.0% nor more than 6%. Upon review and approval by the City Engineer, grades greater or less than this standard may be allowed.
[Amended 3-14-2005 by Ord. No. 05-87]
Street right-of-way widths shall not be less than the following:
Collector/commercial/industrial service
Freeway (divided highway)
Notwithstanding Subsection C(11)(a) above, a commercial or industrial service right-of-way width may be reduced to 66 feet where:
The right-of-way terminates in a cul-de-sac and services no through traffic;
The cul-de-sac serves no more than 10 lots; and
The City Engineer issues a written report that the reduced right-of-way width will be sufficient to accommodate the projected traffic generation and utility needs of the proposed development served by the street.
Collector or arterial streets.
Where a subdivision borders on or contains an existing or proposed collector or arterial street, the Planning Board shall require that access to such streets be limited by one of the following means:
The arrangement of the lots so that they back on the collector/arterial street and front onto a parallel service street. No access shall be provided from the collector/arterial street, and screening shall be provided in a strip of land along the rear property line of such lots.
A series of culs-de-sac, U-shaped streets or short loops entered from and designed generally at right angles to such a parallel service street, with the rear lines of their terminal lots backing on the collector/arterial street.
A marginal access or service road separated from the collector/arterial street by a planting or grass strip and having access thereto at a limited number of points.
Shared drives to provide access to two or more lots.
If the Board shall find that it is in the public interest and serves the intent of this provision, it may require some alternate arrangement to Subsection C(12)(a)[1] through [4] above.
The number and spacing of access drives shall at a minimum be restricted to no more than one two-way drive every 120 feet of frontage on such streets, nor shall such drives be located within 120 feet of the right-of-way line of the cross street at any intersection. One-way entrances and one-way exits may be closer spaced, but no such one-way entrance shall be located within 150 feet of such other entrance or two-way drive, nor shall such one-way exit be located within 150 feet of such other exit or a two-way drive.
Interconnection of street and pedestrian systems.
[Added 4-24-2006 by Ord. No. 06-2006]
Subdivisions shall provide for connectivity with other potential subdivisions on bordering parcels. This shall be accomplished through establishment of reservations for street rights-of-way to adjacent parcels, where appropriate.
Subdivisions shall allow for connectivity of trail systems and the reservation of easements for walking and biking trails.

Such final plans should conform substantially to the plans which received preliminary plan approval by the Planning Board. The application shall include the submission of prints consistent with the requirements of § 165-112, and at least two reproducible copies of the final lotting plan meeting the recording requirements of the Penobscot County Registry of Deeds.
[Amended 1-12-2009 by Ord. No. 09-029]
Staff review. The Planning Officer shall review the application for compliance with the provisions of this chapter and shall, within 10 days, either place the application on the agenda for the next Planning Board meeting or notify the subdivider, in writing, of the deficiencies in the application and recommend modifications. The subdivider may then either amend the application in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning Officer or request Planning Board review thereon without amendment at the next regularly scheduled Planning Board meeting.
Preparation. The final plat of a major subdivision shall be prepared or approved by a registered land surveyor or a registered professional engineer, shall contain a signature block, and shall bear the stamp of such a registered person.
Contents. The final plat for a major subdivision shall contain the following information:
The date; the names of the owner, subdivider and subdivision; an arrow showing true North; the total acreage of the subdivision; and the scale, not less than 100 feet to the inch.
The location of all existing and proposed monuments and pins.
The relation of the subdivision to the existing street system.
Final engineering design of all proposed streets, sewers, storm drainage and water mains.
The location and identification of specimen trees which shall be preserved as part of the development of the subdivision.
Review by City Engineer. Before approval of the final subdivision plan by the Planning Board, a review of such plat shall be made by the Engineering Department for compliance with health, sanitation and engineering standards, and in no case shall a final plat of a major subdivision be approved by the Planning Board without a written report from the City Engineer.
Major subdivision final plat approval standards. When reviewing a major subdivision final plat, the Planning Board shall determine that:
The final plat contains the information required in Subsection E(4)(a) through (g) above.
The final plat contains all changes or modifications required by the Planning Board.
The Final Plat has been reviewed, in writing, by the City Engineer as required in Subsection F above.
The final plat meets the standards for preliminary plat approval as contained in Subsection C(1) through (14) above.
The final subdivision plat has not been substantively changed from the preliminary subdivision plat.
All applications for final plat approval shall include deeds and descriptions for all proposed public rights-of-way, utility easements and any other public area dedications transferring title to such areas and easements to the City of Bangor without compensation.
Reservations for parks, open space or school site use shall equal 5% of the gross acreage of the subdivision unless otherwise specified by this chapter. The location of such acreage within the subdivision shall be determined by the Planning Board, based on the Comprehensive Plan, and adopted open space plan.
The means to provide for open space shall include land dedicated to the City of Bangor, land protected from development by conservation easement, land held and protected by a home owners' association, land or easements held by a land trust or other legally established body engaged in land preservation, or private ownership which ensures the land's protected state in perpetuity.
Provisions for ownership and maintenance of open space or recreation areas. If land is to be set aside under the provisions of this section, the subdivider shall make provisions for the permanent ownership, protection and maintenance of such land. The means for insuring the open space will be available in perpetuity shall be:
Retain ownership and responsibility for maintenance of such land; or
Dedicate such land to public use if the City or another public agency has indicated it will accept such dedication. If the subdivider proposed that the City or other body accept the land, the subdivider must provide evidence of acceptance by such body; or
Provide for one or more organizations for ownership and maintenance of such land. Such organization may be either a corporation, community open space trust, or land trust. Such organization shall be responsible for maintenance of common open spaces and property. It shall also be responsible for applicable insurance and taxes on common open space and property; or
Provide for and establish one or more organizations for ownership and maintenance of such land. Such organization shall be either a nonprofit homeowners' corporation or a community open space trust. If such organization is formed, it shall be formed and operated in accordance with the following rules:
The organization shall be formed by the developer and be operating, with financial subsidization by the developer if necessary, before the sales or lease of any lots or units within the development.
The organization shall be responsible for maintenance of common open spaces and property. It shall also be responsible for applicable insurance and taxes on common open space and property.
In cases where it is deemed not in the City's best interest to create such space within the subdivision, the Planning Board may accept a sum of money equal to the fair market value of the required open space acreage prior to development of the site to be placed in reserve for future land acquisition for public sites in such an area in lieu of land dedication. In the case of cluster development, cash in lieu is not applicable. The payment of such set-aside sum must accompany the necessary instruments of dedication required under this section, and must be submitted to the City within 120 days of final plan approval.
Action by the Planning Board. The Planning Board shall determine whether the major subdivision final plat shall be approved or disapproved. Approval requires a majority of affirmative votes of the Planning Board members (i.e., four votes). If approved, those members of the Planning Board voting in favor of approval shall affix their signatures to the two reproducible copies of the final plat and return one to the subdivider for filing at the Registry of Deeds. If disapproved, the Planning Officer shall notify the subdivider, in writing, of the reasons for such disapproval and shall return the reproducible copies of the final plat to the subdivider.
It is the intent of these regulations that developmental subdivision review and approval be carried out simultaneously with conditional use and/or site plan review and approval under this chapter. The procedure for developmental subdivision approval shall be the same as that for minor subdivision approval contained in § 165-126 of this chapter and as provided for in Article XVI. Submittals for such approval shall meet submittal requirements for conditional uses and site developments required for a land development permit under Article XVI. Approval of such developmental subdivisions shall constitute subdivision approval under this article.
The Planning Board shall not approve any major subdivision unless and until the subdivider provides a guaranty for the construction of all necessary public improvements, including sewer service, stormwater systems, water service, electrical service, streetlighting, and streets, sidewalks and aprons. Cost estimates for such public improvements must be approved by the City Engineer.
Guaranties authorized.
The subdivider shall provide guaranties in one of the following methods approved by the Planning Board and acceptable as to form by the City Attorney:
Completion of construction of all improvements prior to final plan approval.
Posting of a surety bond in an amount sufficient to cover costs of the proposed improvements.
Placing of cash in escrow in an amount sufficient to cover costs of the proposed improvements.
Submittal of a letter of credit from an established banking institution guaranteeing sufficient funds to cover costs of the proposed improvements and recognizing the City's interest in such improvements.
Such other guaranty as the Planning Board shall find acceptable and shall be approved by the City Attorney and City Manager.
Such guaranties shall be provided by the applicant within 120 calendar days of the date of approval by the Planning Board or the conditional approval shall lapse and the application shall be considered void. No subdivision plan shall be recorded in the Registry of Deeds unless and until the requirements of this subsection are met.
Streets and utilities. Proposed streets and utilities will only be accepted by the City through City Council action pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 271, Streets, Article III, Establishment and Assessments.
Release. An improvement guaranty shall not be released until the City Engineer has accepted all covered public improvements and has received and accepted a digital as-built plan that meets the requirements of § 165-10F and G and, if a major subdivision, § 165-128E(4) and, if a minor or developmental subdivision, § 165-126D.
