This bill authorizes the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance to grant both permanent and temporary easements to the town of Bourne for lands used for armory purposes. The easements, located on Armory Road, are intended for the installation, use, maintenance, repair, and replacement of a subsurface waterline. The bill specifies that the town of Bourne will bear all costs related to the engineering, surveys, appraisals, and other expenses necessary for executing the conveyances. Additionally, the easements will be subject to terms and conditions set by the commissioner, and the exact boundaries will be determined based on a survey.
Furthermore, the bill outlines the process for determining the consideration for the easements, which will be based on the greater of the full market value or the value in proposed use, as assessed by an independent appraiser. The appraisal must be reviewed and approved by the inspector general, who will report on the methodology used. The bill also includes provisions for a reversionary clause, ensuring that the easements are used solely for the specified purposes and allowing for termination if the property is not used as authorized. Prior to any reversion, the town will be notified of any violations and given the opportunity to rectify them.
