Maddy summaryThis bill allows the city of Boston to release a specific portion of an old sewer easement located at 49 Charles Park Road in West Roxbury to the property owner, Nora, LLC. The city official in charge of capital assets will work with the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority to define the exact boundaries of the land being returned and set any necessary conditions for the transfer. Before finalizing the deal, an independent professional appraisal must determine the fair market value of the easement, which the property owner will pay for, and the city inspector general must review this valuation to ensure it is accurate. Once approved, the city will execute legal documents to officially transfer the land back to the private owner, clearing the way for potential development or other uses of the property.
