Brockton council approves sale of small abutter lot on Lebanon Street
Summary
By a roll-call vote the council adopted an order selling Plot 4 Lebanon Street (2,570 sq ft) to Florence Smith for $1,300 under the abutter lot program, with a permanent nonbuildable restriction and a six-month merger requirement; failure to merge may cause city reversion.
The Brockton City Council on Nov. 10 adopted an order authorizing sale of Plot 4 Lebanon Street (Parcel ID 107-054) to Florence Smith of 30 Lebanon Street for $1,300 under the city’s abutter lot program.
Clerk’s reading described the property as 2,570 square feet and said the sale will be subject to a permanent nonbuildable restriction and a condition that the parcel must merge with the purchaser’s abutting lot within six months of closing. The council also required the grantee to execute a reverted deed to the city to be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the condition; if the deed is not recorded within nine months the city’s right of reversion will lapse, the clerk said.
The council called the roll. Council members Azak, Farwell, Griffin, Lally, Nicastro, Rodriguez, Tavares, Texara and Thompson recorded "yes," and the clerk announced "9 in the affirmative." The order was adopted by roll-call vote.
The order states the sale price is $1,300; the clerk described the process for deed execution and reversion rights. The council classified the sale as part of the abutter lot program and described the lot as nonbuildable after sale. The matter will proceed to closing under the conditions stated in the adopted order.
