The Board is of the opinion, that allowing a zone change to provide for further use of this property is in the best interest of the To versus leaving this vacant building to fall into disrepair. Attached is a copy of the zone change report prepared by the Planning Department. At the Board's public hearing, an abutter to the property brought -up an ownership issue on this parcel of land. Also attached is correspondence from the Town Solicitor regarding this issue. If you have any questions, please contact this office.

DACHOS, DIRECTOR OFFICE OF PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SUBJECT- ZONE CHANGE REQUEST - GRACE�BAPTIST C14URM - 41� PINE STREET DATE- October 14, 2008 On September 24, 2008, the Planning Board received a request for a zone change for a parcel of land located at 475 Pine Street from Agricultural to Residence B. The property is presently owned by Grace Baptist Church and has been used as a church since 1995. The actual size of the property is under dispute at the present time. An opinion from the Solicitor has been sought. See, the attached letter to Chris Johnson from Attorney Bradford Martin. thave attached a copy of the Assessws mV showing as it Is listed for tax purposes. I have also included the tax card inf6triation. Tho zoen povided. Land Use and Zonin- The property, which is located on the Connecticut State Line is surrounded on all sides by single- family residential structures. Please refer to the attached aerial photo. As you are aware, religious institutions are exempt from the requirements of M.G. L. Chapter 40A of the Massachusetts Zoning Act. As such, a religious use can locate in any zoning district.. Conversely, the structure erected for a religious use can only be used for that purpose or one of the allowed uses in the underlying zone, in this case Agricultural. UndaftpresertrAgricultural District the -following uses am allowed.- (Please refer to 180-37 of �ffit ZoAtig Winance Whicli Is attached.) A. Any use permitted in a Residence A- I District or A-2 District. B. Fanns, dairies, nurseries, truck gardens, greenhouses and natural ice harvesting activities and buildings or structures accessory thereto. C. 'Buildings or shelters for the sale of farm products, provided that a major portion of the products offered for sale at alltimes are raised on the promises and no advertising of products other than those raised on the premises shall be displayed. DThe processing of forests and wood lots by portable woodworking mills and machinery for processing wood cut on the premises, if approved by the Board of Appeals. E. Airports and landing strips mid buildings or structures necessary thereto, if located west of Suffield Street. F. Off-street parking for 24 hours or less for motor vehicles when the use is an accessory to an existing conforming amusement park containing at least three acres of land adjacent to agriculturally zoned land an d by special permit. The owner of the property would like to sell the building to be used as a Masonic Lodge which, according to the Building Inspector is not allowed in the Agricultural District. They have been advised to seek a zone change to Residence B which would allow that use. If the zoning is changed from Agricultural to Residence B the following uses would be allowed: (please refer to Section 180- 31 of the Zoning Ordinance which is attached): A, Any use permitted in a Residence A- I or A-2 District. B. A two family dwelling for two housekeeping units. A semidetached dwelling for two families, provided that there shall not be more than one family in each half of such dwelling. C. Notwithstanding any other provision in the above paragraph, no building or other structure shall be erected, altered or used for residential purposes w1iieli shall accommodate or house more than four families. All four -family buildings or structures used for residential purposes shall be erected on a parcel of land containing not less than one acre in area and having not less than 150 feet of frontage on a street, D. Lodging houses, provided that there is no display, sign or other advertising device visible from the street, whether illuminated or otherwise, other than a sign having an area of not more than 144 square inches. A public restaurant or dining room shall be permitted as an accessory use in any part of such building, provided that the dining room and kitchen facilities do not occupy more than 75% of the first -floor area of such building. E. Clubs, lodges and social center buildings, except those whose. chief activity is a gainful srice or activity usually conducted as a business, including in such excepted uses dancing or bowling and like activities, provided that there is no display or advertising visible from the street other than that permitted in Subsection D of this -section. F. Hospitals, sanitariums or charitable institutions, except those, for contagious diseases, for the care of epileptics or drug or liquor patients, for correctional purposes or for the care of the insane or feebleminded, G Private garages, provided that no business, service or industry is conducted therefrom or therein. Not more than one motor vehicle shall be kept for each 2,500 square feet of lot area, except that three vehicles may be kept, in any case, not more than one of whihe may be unregistered. Only one such vehicle may be a commercial vehicle of not more than 1 1/2 ton's weight of capacity. Space shall not be leased or rented for a commercial vehicle. No commercial vehicle shall be parked on a lot in the open. These space regulations shall apply to vehicles regularly left on the lot, whether housed or in the open. H. Not more than one house trailer for each resident family may be kept on the premises. The trailer shall not be used for living quarters while >so located. Space shall not be rented or leased for trailers. If the zone change is not granted, the only use for the existing church would be a single-family dwelling. The building is 7,128 square feet with an assess value of $684,300. Use as a dwelling is highly improbable. Environmental Considerations When the church was proposed, members of the Conservation Commission inspected the property and found that there was a significant elevation change on the property and that there may be wetlands at the eastern end of the property. As a result of the Commission's input, no construction occurred at the rear of the property. Though no official wetlands mapping has been done to my knowledge, use of the rear of the property would be limited to due topography, access and potential wetlands. Conclusion Use ofthe -existing structure due to its size and unique configuration is very limited. The proposed new owner would ensure that the building would not slip into disrepair and be subject to vandalism. Physical constraints at the rear of the property should limit its use for development. It would appear that the proposed use would be the best use of the property. All questions concerning ownership should be resolved. t°tit of a Page. 1 of I Parcel D: D2 „ IS Owner.

Johnson, Esq. M. The deed of the property to The Hartford & Connecticut Western Railroad Company (See Hampden County Registry of Deeds Book 586, Page 108) was made with a possibility of reverter. In other words, the ownership of the property would revert to the grantor or his successors and assigns (in this case Grace Baptist Church), once the property ceased to be used as a railroad. According to Attorney Martin, the railroad right of way was abandoned in 1938. As such, in 1938 when the property ceased to be used as a railroad, the title to the strip of property in question reverted back to Grace Baptist Church's predecessors in title and ultimately was conveyed to them in 1995. This is supported by M.G.L. c. 260, § 31A and the Supreme Judicial Court decision in Town of Brookline v. Carey,355 Mass. 424 (1969). The Roys' acquired only what title (See Hampden County Registry of Deeds Book 5957, Page 402) the Grantors (the Czerpaks) had to the strip in question, if any. In my opinion, the Czerpaks had no title to the strip in question and as such conveyed no title to the Rays. The fact that the town's assessor's office may have listed the Roys as the owners of the strip has no legal bearing on the issue.

After discussions with Ms. Dachos and Mr. Baldini, I was advised to send you this letter in order to give you our position regarding the title of the Grace Baptist Church to 475 Pine Street and the rights, if any, of Roger and Patricia Roy, I. Grace Baptist Church acquired title by deed of Dwight L. Scott and Clara A. Scott dated July 21, 1995 and recorded with Hampden County Registry of Deeds in Book 9191, Page 569. It is described as a 3 acre, more or less parcel of land on the east side of Pine Street, bounded on the North and East by Harrigan, Noble. and Cross, respectively, and on the South by the Connecticut -Massachusetts state line, and westerly by Pine Street. 2. Thf§ same legal description is in deeds in Book 5673, Page l7t and Book 4291, Page 126 in I r51 by Book 2095, Page �60 Louis E. $paik;s conveyed to Henry C. Kretzko, and deed in 1900. nb Saint legal description as the current description is asod in all deeds, 3. As for the claimed railroad parcel, there is a deed from Joseph A. Czerpak et ux to Roger Roy and Patricia Roy, dated December 22, 1985, and recorded in Book 5957, Page 402, It is described as beginning at the dividing line between the State of Connecticut on the south and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts on the north across the railroad right of way and references back title as deeds in Book 586, Page 108 (Sparks Deed) and Book 593, Page 405 (Noble Deed). Czerpak acquired all right title and interest, if any, to a MORRISON MAHONEY LLP r*xMRr- MR October 10, 2008 PageI lengthy trip of the railroad right of way by deed from Penn Central Railroad, dated May 30, 1984, and recorded in Book 5718, Page 504. The parcel conveyed to Roy is the first parcel in this deed. 4. We have reviewed the back title referenced in the railroad deeds, specifically the Sparks Deed and the Noble Deed and read them in conjunction with railroad plans attached to the deed from Penn Central to Joseph Czerpak with said plans recorded in Book 5718, Pages 504 through 517. These are a right of way plan for the railroad from June 1916, as amended. The plans indicate that the railroad right of way was "abandoned under order of the is C. C. Finance Docket No. 11579 March 19, 1938." The abandorunent of the right of way is instrumental in determining who owns the underlying fee in the abandoned area. 5. We have determined from a review of the title, including the aforesaid plan, that the relevant parcel or right of way in question was conveyed to the railroad by the Sparks Deed. A review of this deed (Book 586, Page 108) indicates that: "This conveyance is made subject to the following conditions, namely: that the land hereby conveyed shall be, used for railroad purposes and in such manner as is usual, necessary, and proper for the construction, maintenance, management and use of a railroad, and whenever said premises shall cease to be so used then the title to said land shall revert in the grantor, his heirs and assigns, who may at such time be the owner of the premises adjoining said land on either or both sides thereof'. This provision caused a reverter of the title. Therefore, Grace Baptist Church has title to this strip of land, as well as the parcels comprising the locus which are on both sides of the abandoned right of way- Neither Czerpak, nor Roy, acquired a fee simple ownership to this parcel because title reverted back in 1938. Title to the Grace Baptist Church property has been insured by CATIC and this report is based on research done by Attorney James Jurgens at CATIC who would be available to speak with you if you have any questions.

The Roys' acquired only what title (See Hampden County Registry of Deeds Book 5957, Page 402) the Grantors (the Czerpaks) had to the strip in question, if any. In my opinion, the Czerpaks had no title to the strip in question and as such conveyed no title to the Roys. The fact that the town's assessors office may have listed the Roys as the owners of the strip has no legal bearing on the issue. 11 MORRISON MAHONEY LLP COUNSELLOPS AT LAW TOWERSQUARS 1500 MAIN STREET MASSACHUSETTS SUITE 2400, POST OFFICE BOX 15387 BOSTON FALL PJVeR BndfGrd R.

The same legal description as the current description is used in all deeds. RMIMM, -3 MORRISON MAHONEY LLP Christopher. Johnson, Esq. October 10, 2008 Page 2 lengthy strip of the railroad right of way by deed fromPennCentral Railroad, dated May 30, 1984, and recorded in Book 5718, Page 504. The parcel conveyed to Roy is the first parcel in this deed. 4. We have reviewed the back title referenced in the railroad deeds, specifically the Sparks Deed and the Noble Deed and read them in conjunction with railroad plans attached to= the deed from Penn Central to Joseph Czerpak with said plans recorded in Book 5718, Pages 504 through 517. These are a right of way plan for the railroad from June 1916, as amended. The plans indicate that the railroad right of way was "abandoned under order of the 1. C. C. Finance Docket No. 11579 March 19 1938." The abandonment of the right of way is instrumental in determining who owns the underlying fee in the abandoned area. 5. We have determined from a review of the title, including the aforesaid plan, that the relevant parcel or right of way in question was conveyed to the railroad by the Sparks Deed. A review of this deed (Book 586, Page 108) indicates that: "This conveyance is made subject to the following conditions, namely: that the land hereby conveyed shall be used for railroad purposes and in such manner as is usual, necessary, and proper for the construction, maintenance, ;management and use of a railroad, and whenever said premises shall cease to be so used then the title to said land shall revest in the grantor, his heirs and assigns, who may at such time be the owner of the premises adjoining said land on either or both sides thereof'. This provision caused a reverter of the title. Therefore, Grace Baptist Church has title to this strip of land, as well as the parcels comprising the locus which are on both sides of the abandoned right of way. Neither Czerpak, nor Roy, acquired a fee simple ownership to this parcel because title reverted back in 1938. Title to the Grace Baptist Church property has been insured by CATIC and this report is based on research done by Attorney James Jurgens at CATICwho would be available to speak: with you if you have any questions.
