Town of Colchester Office of the Assessor Memorandum To: Gregg Schuster, First Selectman From: John Chaponis, Assessor CC: Date: March 15, 2011 Re: Colchester/Hebron Land Swap Attached herewith please find copies of property record cards for the two pieces of property that the Town of Colchester owns that are located within the corporate limits of the Town of Hebron. One is a 17 acre buffer abutting the town of Colchester Land FilifTransfer Station and the other is a portion of the airline trail. Since December 1993, the Hebron Assessor and I have been attempting to trade the airline trail piece owned by Colchester for a piece of land owned by the Town of Hebron, located in Hebron, which directly abuts Colchester's 17 acre piece. I recommend this land swap for the following reasons which are in no particular order: 1. Owning any properties that directly abuts the Transfer Station increases our buffer and reduces possible liability to the town in the event there were any contamination issues. Due to contamination in 1998, Colchester had to take 10.08 acres that abutted the Transfer Station via eminent domain and litigation followed to determine the value loss to the abutter. The matterwas latersettled but the process can be very costly. 2. The trade involves us swapping a 9 acre piece we currently own that is 50 feet wide and 8,000 +/- feet long. It is a portion of the airline trail and has been and continues to be maintained and policed by the town of Hebron at their expense. The piece we would acquire is 9.5 acre piece that is fairly square in shape, landlocked, and likely only has valued to our town. By passing title to the airline trail piece we can no longer be liable for anything that takes place there. It makes little sense for us to own it, if we are not maintaining it and have no say in how it is being maintained. Any claims could come back to the owner. 3. The town currently owns 17 acres in Hebron that is contiguous to the Transfer Station but adding 9.5 acres on the backside would immediately increase our buffer and decrease liability. Our currently owned 17 acres in Hebron is directly across from the 10.08 acres we acquired in 1998 (see map) via eminent domain due to those issues in that direct area. Increasing our buffer to 26.5 acres at little cost would be a positive proactive move.
Memorandum To: Gregg Schuster, First Selectman From: John Chaponis, Assessor Re: Colchester/Hebron Land Swap Date: March 15, 2011 5. There is no purchase price cost involved as both parties have agreed to trade one piece for the other. The only costs would be associated with the legal expenses related to drafting an agreement, filing deeds on the land records, etc. Page 2
