AN ACT AUTHORIZING DIRECTING THE DIVISION OF CAPITAL ASSET MANAGEMENT TO GRANT A SEWER EASEMENT IN CERTAIN LAND IN THE TOWN OF BELCHERTOWN TO THE TOWN OF BELCHERTOWN.

Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is forthwith to immediately provide for the conveyance of an easement interest of certain state land for the purpose of installing and constructing sanitary sewer facilities, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:

 

SECTION 1.   Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 40E to 40J, inclusive, of chapter 7 of the General Laws, or any other general or special law to the contrary, the commissioner of the division of capital asset management is hereby authorized to convey to the Town of Belchertown a non-exclusive easement interest in a portion of a parcel of state-owned land located on George Hannon Street and Jackson Street in Belchertown, said portion containing 49,932 square feet or 1.146 acres, shown as "Sewer Easement S-1" on a survey plan consisting of one sheet, entitled "Plan of Land in Belchertown, MA prepared for the Town of Belchertown Commonwealth of Massachusetts (Owner)", dated November seven, two thousand six, prepared by Sherman & Frydryk, Land Surveying and Engineering, 3 Converse Street, Suite 203, Palmer, MA 01069. Said conveyance shall be for nominal consideration and on such terms and conditions as the commissioner of the division of capital asset management deems appropriate.

SECTION 2.  The grantees of said easement interest described in this section shall assume the costs in full associated with any engineering, surveys, deed preparation and other expenses deemed necessary by the commissioner of the division of capital asset management, and shall also assume the costs of recording said survey plan and easement deed with the registry of deeds for Hampshire County.
