<br />Submitted by the Board of Selectmen
<br />Explanation: This Article seeks to authorize the
<br />exchange of easements between the Town and a private
<br />property owner abutting a portion of Quinaquisset
<br />Avenue, a public way, whereby the Town would be
<br />granted easement rights over private property for
<br />purposes of constructing and maintaining stormwater
<br />control/headwall structures at the base of the subject
<br />portion of Quinaquisset Avenue which are necessary to
<br />maintain the structural integrity and, thus, the safe use
<br />of this public way. In consideration of the easement
<br />rights granted to the Town, the Town will be granting
<br />a formal easement to authorize the location of irrigation
<br />and utility lines under Quinaquisset Avenue, which are
<br />necessary for maintenance and operation of the
<br />cranberry bogs located on each side of Quinaquisset
<br />Avenue. The Town and the private property owner
<br />have engaged in cooperative discussions relative to
<br />proposed plans for construction of these improvements,
<br />and the granting of the respective easements referenced
<br />in this Article is essential to completion of this project.
<br />The Board of Selectmen recommends Town
<br />Meeting approval by a vote of 5-0.
<br />The Finance Committee recommends Town
<br />Meeting approval by a vote of 4-0.
