BILL NUMBER:S8336A
Title of bill
An act authorizing the county of Nassau to transfer ownership of certain parklands to Conservation Partners, LLC
Purpose
This bill authorizes Nassau County to convey a vacant parcel of open space property in the Village of Oyster Bay, which parcel is adjacent to Nassau County's Tiffany Creek Park and may constitute passive parkland, to Conservation Partners LLC.
Summary of provisions
Nassau County is authorized by this bill to convey certain park property to Conservation Partners LLC. Under the authorized transaction, the property must be kept undeveloped.
Justification
The subject property is being alienated as part of a transaction to leverage the County's open space preservation efforts and increase the acreage of open space in Nassau County. Under the proposed "swap trans- action," the County will alienate fee simple title to 33.51 acres of open space property acquired under the County's 2004 Environmental Bond Act (such property, the "Northwood Estate") and, in return, will (i) retain a conservation easement on the Northwood Estate preserving the natural beauty and openness of the subject property and ensuring in perpetuity that the Northwood Estate is not developed; and (ii) acquire for open space purposes fee simple title to approximately thirty-five (35) acres of property in the Village of Old Brookville comprising a portion of the Banfi Farm.
This transaction allows the County to increase the land preserved from the County's initial outlay of $11 million, from the original 33.51 acres constituting the Northwood Estate, to an enhanced total of approx- imately 69 acres when the additional 35 acres of the Banfi farm are included.
