The bill titled "An Act relative to a conservation restriction in the town of Middleton" allows the conservation commission of Middleton to execute a certificate of release or amendment to exclude approximately 38,197 square feet of land from a conservation restriction originally granted by Monastiero Consulting Services, LLC. This action is intended to resolve a prior violation of the conservation restriction, which is recorded in the Essex County registry of deeds. The specific land to be released is detailed in a plan prepared by Williams & Sparages, LLC, dated April 2, 2026, and is on file with the town clerk.

As a condition for this release, the bill mandates that the conservation commission must accept a new conservation restriction on a separate parcel of land, Lot 10A, which contains approximately 9.33 acres. This requirement is to ensure that there is no net loss of land subject to Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution. Additionally, Monastiero Consulting Services, LLC is responsible for all associated costs related to the necessary engineering, surveys, appraisals, and deed preparations to execute the conveyances authorized by the act. The existing conservation restriction will remain in effect except for the portions that are released or amended as specified in the bill.
