Sec. 4. Deed and restrictions. Resolved: That the property must be conveyed by
quit claim quitclaim deed without covenants, subject to the following deed restrictions:
The Town of Carrabassett Valley shall in perpetuity retain title to the property and may not
sell or otherwise transfer any interest, in whole or in part, in the property except that the
Town of Carrabassett Valley may lease portions of the property as long as the uses are
consistent with the uses specified in this resolve. The property must remain open and
available for use and enjoyment by the public at large. Use of the property must be
dedicated for purposes of public outdoor recreation, including, but not limited to: natural
history study; hiking; camping; cross-country skiing; hunting; fishing; fisheries and
wildlife management; skating; timber management and harvesting under a management
plan prepared by a licensed professional forester; and attendant roads and parking. The
property must be maintained in an essentially natural and undeveloped condition, except
that up to 25 contiguous acres in the aggregate, including any development in existence on
the effective date of this resolve, may be developed for any municipal facility. The
following uses are expressly prohibited: residential development of any type; and
development for overnight accommodations, except camping, including commercial
camping if development plans for commercial camping are approved by the State;
development for any type of commercial service center, shops, restaurants or other
commercial development; or development for any purpose that will change the natural
character of the area, except that those uses presently made of the Outdoor and Touring
Center located on the property may continue. If the Town of Carrabassett Valley fails to
comply with any of the conditions or restrictions, in whole or in part, contained in this
resolve, the State may give written notice to the Town of Carrabassett Valley, and if the
Town of Carrabassett Valley fails to comply within 30 days, then the title to the property
reverts to the State; such a reversion may not be effective until the State records a notice of
the reversion in the Franklin County Registry of Deeds.
