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, the commissioner of the division of capital asset
management and maintenance may grant
to the Tewksbury Housing Authority an easement and right-of-way across certain
parcels of land in the town which is bounded on
1 side by the westerly sideline of Livingston street. The easement shall
include only the amount of land necessary for vehicular entry to, and exit
from, the adjacent property and shall be
prescribed in consultation with the department of public
health. The easement and right-of-way is a portion of lot 30 on the town of
Tewksbury Assessor's
Map number
73, and shall
be more precisely delineated by the commissioner based on the records in the
Middlesex county
registry of deeds or registry district of the land court, or on a survey, as
the
commissioner may
determine to be appropriate. The Tewksbury Housing Authority or its contractor
shall be responsible for any costs for appraisals, surveys and all other
expenses and liabilities relating to the granting and exercise of the easement.
SECTION 2.
If the easement and right-of-way ceases to be used for the
purposes
authorized herein or
is used for any
other purpose, then upon notice by the commissioner, all interest in the
easement and right-of-way
shall revert to the
commonwealth upon terms and conditions as the commissioner may prescribe.
