Here is an update on our status regarding the Central Reach Easements and the motion that was passed at our Memorial Day meeting.  

We have engaged an attorney who is reviewing the documents and speaking with the Town Attorney.  We are asking him to address the following concerns that have been submitted by our members: 

• Does the easement need to be perpetual and forever, or can it be limited to the duration of the project?
• Could the easement be assigned to an entity that could use it for some other purpose – such as a newly created beach protection authority?
• If the project doesn’t go forward, can the easement be rescinded or nullified?
• Is an access easement to the entire property required?
• What is the area covered by the easement – the landward or seaward toe of the dune?

If you have additional questions that you would like the attorney to address, please send them to us via email: [email protected].  

We will provide another update as soon as we receive the attorney’s opinions and recommendations.  Once again, our goal is to facilitate completion of the Central Reach project (not hinder it) by addressing concerns and reservations in a timeframe that will not negatively impact the schedule for the work.
