Fenderson Road Construction Project

---

The Fenderson Road has 15 single-family dwellings that utilize the public-way for access to their homes. In addition, the Harvest Place group home adds considerable traffic to the road. In addition, Strawberry Lane was allowed to develop a few years ago allowing a private road off an existing public-way bringing a total of approximately 25 properties which rely on the road for their commute.

Residents and the City will partner to allow this old public-way to become an accepted city street. The residents of both the Fenderson Road and Strawberry Lane have signed an Agreement stating that they agree to contribute their share of the cost of surveying the road as well as agreeing to convey any portion of their real estate that may be required in order to create a 50' wide right of way for the entire length of the Fenderson Road. The residents further agreed to pay one-third the cost, not to exceed $100,000 dollars toward the improvements on the Fenderson Road. The estimated cost is $337,800.

By upgrading the existing public-way to an accepted city street current residences will have the comfort in knowing that the city will be able to provide key services that will contribute to their safety and well being and hat are currently being offered to other tax payers in the City of Saco. As an added benefit the unsightly lineup of numerous trash and recycling containers will no longer be a part of the Hearn Road landscape.
