RESOLUTION OF THE TOWN BOARD OF THE TOWN OF ORANGETOWN SUBDIVIDING TOWN TAX LOT NOS. 73.11-1-2 AND 73.08-1-1 INTO THREE DISTINCT TAX LOTS IN CONNECTION WITH THE TOWN’S REDEVELOPMENT OF THE LANDS OF THE ROCKLAND PSYCHIATRIC CENTER.

 

WHEREAS, the Town of Orangetown is the owner in fee simple absolute of certain lands formerly a part of the Rockland Psychiatric Center bearing Tax Lot Nos. 73.08-1-1 and 73.11-1-2 on the Tax map of the Town of Orangetown; and

 

WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Orangetown has heretofore determined as part of its Comprehensive Plan for the development of the Town, and in subsequent reviews, that the lands of the Rockland Psychiatric Center recently acquired by the Town should be developed with a mix of municipal and private commercial uses; and

 

WHEREAS, in the Town Board’s judgment, the development of the recently acquired lands of the Rockland Psychiatric Center would benefit from the division of those lands into separate and distinct tax lots to facilitate their use and/or conveyance in furtherance of the Town’s contemplated development; and

 

WHEREAS, the Town Board has determined that the division or re-division of Town owned lands by the Town is not subject to the Town’s land use regulations, including the subdivision review and approval process; and

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Town Board hereby subdivides Tax Lots 73.08-1-1 and 73.11-1-2, as shown on the Tax Map of the Town of Orangetown, into three distinct Tax Lots in such a manner as to create from the two existing Tax Lots a third Tax Lot consisting of approximately 16.878 acres, with a metes and bounds description as set forth in Schedule “A” annexed hereto;
