From:		Nancy L. Zimpher, Chancellor

Subject:	Conveyance of Permanent Easement � State University of New York at Stony Brook

        
        I recommend that the Board of Trustees adopt the following resolution:
        
Whereas the Town of Riverhead conveyed land to the State University of New York at Stony Brook to be used for the Calverton Business Incubator; and 

Whereas the Town of Riverhead has requested a permanent easement across lands of the State, including a portion of the Calverton site, for a public walking/hiking trail, the approximate location of which is indicated on the map attached hereto; and

Whereas the State University of New York at Stony Brook requests the SUNY Board of Trustees to authorize the grant of such easement; and

Whereas the Commissioner of General Services is authorized and empowered to convey easements in the lands of The People of the State of New York; now, therefore, be it

Resolved that the Chancellor, or designee, be and hereby is authorized to take all steps necessary to execute or approve, in the name of and on behalf of this Board, all documents, notices, maps, or any other instruments necessary or proper to effect conveyance of such easement pursuant to Section 3(2) of the Public Lands Law, subject to approval of the Commissioner of General Services.  



Background

	The resolution authorizes the Chancellor, or designee, to request that the Office of General Services grant a permanent easement over a portion of the property at the Calverton Business Incubator to the Town of Riverhead for a public walking/hiking trail.

	The State University of New York at Stony Brook owns and operates the Calverton Business Incubator in Calverton.  This easement will create a walking/hiking trail around the periphery.
