NEW YORK STATE ASSEMBLY MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT OF LEGISLATION submitted in accordance with Assembly Rule III, Sec 1(f)
BILL NUMBER: A7946B
SPONSOR: Palumbo TITLE OF BILL: An act to authorize the Mattituck park district, in
the town of Southold, county of Suffolk, to discontinue use of certain
lands as parklands and sell such lands, and to use proceeds for capital
improvements to existing park facilities in the Mattituck park district
PURPOSE:
To allow the Mattituck Park District in the County of Suffolk to discon-
tinue as parkland the use of a parcel located on Love Lane in Mattituck
and authorize the sale of such property.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
The bill provides the authority for the Mattituck Park District, Town of
Southold, County of Suffolk, to convey property for fair market value
and the funds obtained from the sale to be used for capital improvements
for the existing park facilities. The bill provides a metes and bounds
description of the property to be sold.
JUSTIFICATION:
The Mattituck Park District was created by special act (Chapter 61 of
the Laws of 1924) and continued by Chapter 924 of the Laws of 1941. In
1968, the District acquired a 1.1 acre of land, the major portion of
which has been used as access to a boat ramp. A 33 foot by 115 foot
strip of land (.087 acre) which came with the parcel is not being used
or needed for the boat launch and is presently being used for parking by
an adjacent neighbor. The District has determined that it would be in
the District's best interest to sell the strip of property to an adjoin-
ing land owner for fair market value and use the proceeds for capital
improvements for existing park properties. The sale of the property is
subject to mandatory referendum pursuant to the powers set forth in the
enabling statue.
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New bill.
