Bill > H4992

This bill authorizes Barnstable County and the town of Bourne to transfer certain land and interests in land located in Bourne, specifically two parcels at 0 County Road and 100 Dr. Julius Kelley Lane, which are currently used for an assisted living senior residence. The transfer is permitted despite any existing laws to the contrary, but it must respect a conservation restriction already in place on a portion of the property, a 2003 approval decision from the Cape Cod Commission (a regional planning agency), and a ground lease for the senior living center's operation, along with any other recorded restrictions. The bill also allows the town of Bourne, which holds the conservation restriction, to assign or transfer it back to Barnstable County as part of this land acquisition, ensuring that the conservation restriction does not merge with the land ownership. These transfers and assignments are to happen at the same time and will take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
