2013-S7238 - Summary

Authorizes the town of Clifton Park to convey an easement.

2013-S7238 - Sponsor Memo

                                BILL NUMBER:S7238

TITLE OF BILL:  An act in relation to authorizing the town of Clifton
Park in the county of Saratoga, to convey a permanent easement under
and through certain parkland for wires, conduit and facilities
necessary to support the construction and operation of a wireless
communications facility

PURPOSE OF THE BILL:

This legislation authorizes the Town of Clifton Park to convey an
easement across, under and through a short stretch of town park land
along an existing access road for the purpose of providing access to a
wireless communication facility that would be located on adjacent
private property.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one of the bill authorizes the Town of Clifton Park, in
Saratoga County, to convey an easement across, under and through a
small section of town park land for the purpose of providing access to
a wireless communication facility that would be located on adjacent
private property.

Section one also provides that all proceeds from the conveyance of
such an easement shall be used for capital improvements to existing

park and recreation facilities, and further provides that the Town
shall dedicate an amount equal or greater than the fair market value
of the easement interests for capital improvements to existing parks
and/or for the acquisition of additional park and recreational
facilities within the Town.

Section two of the bill specifies the boundaries of the affected park
lands.

Section three provides that, should the leased lands cease to be used
for the purposes described in this bill, the lease shall terminate and
those lands shall revert to the Town for public park and recreational
purposes.

Section four provides that, if the affected park land has received
certain federal funding, the discontinuance shall not occur until the
Town has complied with federal requirements.

JUSTIFICATION:

This legislation was requested by the Town of Clifton Park. It would
authorize the Town to convey an easement across, under and through a
short stretch of town park land along an existing access road.

A proposal has been made to construct a wireless communication
facility on private property adjacent to a town park. However, because
of the configuration of the site, direct access can only be obtained
by using an existing access road which traverses a small section of
the park land (about 425 feet).


This bill would authorize the Town of Clifton Park to convey an
easement which allows the placement of underground facilities and
fiber optics, and also allows vehicular access to the adjacent private
lands.

This legislation would benefit the community by enabling the
establishment of a facility on adjacent private property that will
improve cellular communication service in the region. In addition,
revenues received from the lease of an easement will be utilized for
capital improvements to existing park and recreation facilities within
the Town.

PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None to the State.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.

TITLE OF BILL:  An act in relation to authorizing the town of Clifton
Park in the county of Saratoga, to convey a permanent easement under
and through certain parkland for wires, conduit and facilities
necessary to support the construction and operation of a wireless
communications facility

PURPOSE OF THE BILL: This legislation authorizes the Town of Clifton
Park to convey an easement for a short stretch of town park land along
an existing access road for the underground installation of conduit,
wires and fiber optic lines in order to reach a wireless communication
facility that would be located on adjacent private property.

SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section one of the bill authorizes the
Town of Clifton Park, in Saratoga County, to convey an easement in
town park land for the underground installation of conduit, wires and
fiber optic lines to transport utilities and telecommunication signals
necessary to the operation of a wireless communication facility that
would be located on adjacent private property. Upon completion of
construction, the surface of the lands shall be restored and the lands
shall continue to be used for park purposes.

Section two provides that the Town shall dedicate an amount equal or
greater than the fair market value of the easement to the acquisition
of new parklands and/or for capital improvements to existing park and

recreational facilities within the Town.

Section three of the bill specifies the boundaries of the affected
park lands.

Section four states that the conveyance of the easement shall not
occur until the Town has complied with any federal requirements
pertaining to the alienation or conversion of parklands.

JUSTIFICATION: This legislation was requested by the Town of Clifton
Park. It would authorize the Town to convey an easement involving a
short stretch of town park land along an existing access road.

A proposal has been made to construct a wireless communication
facility on private property adjacent to a town park. However, because
of the configuration of the site, direct access can only be obtained
by using an existing access road which traverses a small section of
the park land (about 425 feet).

This bill would authorize the Town of Clifton Park to convey an
easement which allows the placement of conduit, wires and fiber optics
under town park land in order to reach these adjacent private lands.

This legislation would benefit the community by enabling the
establishment of a facility on adjacent private property that will
improve cellular communication service in the region. In addition,
revenues received from the easement will be utilized for the
acquisition of new parklands and/or for capital improvements to
existing park and recreation facilities within the Town.


PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:  This is a new bill, but it is modeled
after previous laws and the recommendations of the Office of Parks,
Recreation and Historic Preservation.

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None to the State

EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.
