                                BILL NUMBER:S8108

TITLE OF BILL:
An act to authorize the town of Webster, in the county of Monroe, to
discontinue the use of certain lands as parklands

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:
This bill would authorize the town of Webster to discontinue certain
land as parklands; to sell and convey the land for commercial purposes;
and in exchange for the conveyance, dedicate other land within the town
- donated to the town and being of an equal or greater fair market value
than the land conveyed - as additional parkland.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:
Section 1 authorizes the town of Webster to discontinue as parklands and
alienate, sell and convey the lands described in section three of this
act for the purpose of enabling an adjacent shopping plaza to expand and
construct additional parking and, in exchange for the conveyance, dedi-
cate as parklands the lands described in section four of this act.

Section 2 sets forth the condition that the lands described in section
four of this act must be of equal or greater fair market value than the
lands being alienated, and that the lands described in section four must
be donated to the town of Webster and must be dedicated as additional
parklands.

Section 3 defines the land to be alienated, sold and conveyed, as set
forth in section one of this act.

Section 4 defines the land to be donated to and dedicated by the town of
Webster as parkland

Section 5 states that in the event that the replacement parklands to be
dedicated by the town of Webster are not of equal or greater fair market
value and usefulness as parklands than the parklands to be discontinued,
the town of Webster shall dedicate the difference of fair market value
and/or usefulness of the lands to be alienated and the lands to be dedi-
cated for the acquisition of additional parklands and/or capital
improvements to existing park and recreational facilities.

Section 6 states that the discontinuance and conveyance of parklands
authorized by the provisions of this act shall not occur until the town
of Webster has complied with any federal requirements pertaining to the
alienation or conversion of parklands, including satisfying the secre-
tary of the interior that the alienation or conversion complies with all
conditions which the secretary of the interior deems necessary to assure
the substitution of other lands shall be equivalent in fair market value
and recreational usefulness to the lands being alienated or converted.

Section 7 sets the effective date.

JUSTIFICATION:
This legislation is the result of a home rule request by the town of
Webster, which would like to exchange 1.325 acres of isolated parkland
adjacent to a shopping plaza to gain 2.65 acres of land adjacent to
existing parkland, allowing it to expand a more usable park.

The 1.325 acres of Webster Park Land was given to the town years ago by
the state as surplus land after the Route 104 project was complete, and
is adjacent to an existing shopping plaza. At the current time, the town
has an easement on private property behind the plaza, which is used as
an entrance to the town hall. The plaza owner has requested that the
easement be rescinded so that he can enlarge the plaza with more tenants
- which will require more parking spaces thus resulting in more economic
development for the town - and that he be allowed to purchase the 1.325
acres for the required parking spaces.

In return for the 1.325 acres of park land, the plaza owner will build
the town a new access road for the town hall, and will purchase 2.65
acres of land next to an existing town park, which will enhance the park
surrounding the town's new baseball stadium and will provide more usable
park space for use by town residents.

The town views this as a means to enhance its tax base, create more
employment opportunities and expand its usable park space.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
New legislation.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:
No fiscal impact to the state. As part of the exchange, the town of
Webster will receive land of an equal or greater value than that which
they are selling, and as a result, will benefit economically from the
exchange.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
