Bill H.4765
SECTION 1. Notwithstanding sections 32 to 37, inclusive, of chapter 7C of the General Laws, chapter 312 of the acts of 1996 or any other general or special law to the contrary, the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance may release or amend certain use restrictions held by the commonwealth for municipal recreational purposes and public safety and other municipal building purposes on all or a portion of certain parcels of land on Payson road in the town of Foxborough. The use restrictions are described in deeds recorded in the Norfolk registry of deeds in book 20013, page 470 and book 13416, page 205 and shown as parcels H-1 and H-2 on a plan entitled “Approval Not Required Subdivision Plan”, prepared for Foxborough State Hospital, dated December 10, 1998 and prepared by Rizzo Associates Inc., recorded in the Norfolk registry of deeds in plan book 465, page 256. The consideration for the release or amendment of the use restrictions shall be a use restriction for housing purposes, which may include, but shall not be limited to, market rate housing and senior housing purposes; provided, however, that the town of Foxborough may subsequently convey all or a portion of the parcels to a third party for housing purposes.
SECTION 2. The town of Foxborough shall be responsible for all costs and expenses of any transaction authorized pursuant to section 1 as determined by the commissioner of capital asset management and maintenance, including, but not limited to, the costs of any engineering, surveys, appraisals, title examinations and recording fees; by inserting the following emergency preamble:
“Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to authorize forthwith the release or amendment of certain use restrictions of land in the town of Foxborough, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.”; and by striking out the title and inserting in place thereof the following title: “An Act relative to the release or amendment of certain use restrictions for the Foxborough State Hospital.”
