BILL NUMBER:A4703A
Title of bill
An act authorizing the county of Saratoga to discontinue for reforestation purposes the use of certain lands and to convey such lands
Summary of provisions
Section 1 of the bill authorizes the County of Saratoga to discontinue the use of not greater that 9.013 acres of land for reforestation purposes that is identified in section 2 and to convey the same to the Town of Moreau in exchange for a new parcel identified in section 3 that shall be dedicated for reforestation purposes.
Section 2 provides a legal description of the property to be conveyed.
Section 3 provides a legal description of the property to be acquired by the County in exchange that shall be dedicated for reforestation purposes.
Section 4 provides the bill shall be effective immediately.
Justification
The County of Saratoga is willing to assist the Town of Moreau in regard to a proposed new court and public safety facility by conveying a 9.013 acre parcel to the Town.
However, the parcel in question has been dedicated for reforestation purposes and by virtue of Section 219 of the County Law, an act of the State Legislature is necessary in order to transfer the land.
The County as part of the agreement will replace the loss of reforestation land by obtaining from the Town another parcel of equal or greater fair market value to the lands being alienated which the County will dedicate for reforestation purposes.
The new parcel is adjacent to existing reforestation land already owned by the County, and is more suitable for reforestation purposes.
The land to be conveyed due to its location is ideally suited for locating this public safety facility and is in the best interest of both municipalities.
