An Act relative to a transfer of a certain parcel of land in Hyde Park.

 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
 

SECTION 1. (a) Notwithstanding sections 3 and 20 of chapter 6C of the General Laws or any other general or special law to the contrary, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation may release its interest in or grant an easement to a parcel of land in the city of Boston, currently owned by the department and held by the city of Boston by an easement and license, to The 54th Regiment Board, their heirs, successors and assigns for purposes of continuing to use the land and improvements within the conveyed area.

(b)  The parcel of department of transportation land #1809477000 at the Readville Station which the release deed or easement shall apply is located 1717-1725 Hyde Park Avenue in Hyde Park

(c) The parcel shall be conveyed by release deed or easement without warranties or representations by the department upon such terms and conditions as the department deems necessary or advisable. The grantee agrees to assume the cost of any appraisals, surveys and other expenses deemed necessary by the department to execute the release or easement pursuant to this act. As consideration for the release deed or easement authorized in this act, the grantees shall pay to the commonwealth an amount equal to the fair market value of the department’s interest in the parcel of land authorized to be released or granted under this act, as determined by an independent appraisal prepared in accordance with the usual and customary professional appraisal practices by a qualified appraiser commissioned by the department.
