Article 13 - General Provisions
13.11 - Real Property Abutting Parks or Parkways.

§ 13.11 Real property abutting parks or parkways. 1. If the
acquisition of real property for park, parkway, historic preservation or
recreational purposes by the office or a state agency results in
abutting premises being cut off from access to a public road, or if
because of such acquisition it is desirable for public convenience to
provide marginal or service roads near or adjacent to such acquired
property, the office or state agency so acquiring is authorized to
acquire such additional real property as may be necessary to provide
such abutting premises with means of ingress and egress to a public road
or to provide such marginal or service roads. The location of such
additional real property and the nature and extent of the title to be
acquired therein shall be such as in the discretion of the commissioner
or state agency, as the case may be, as shall best serve the interest of
the state.

2. The office or state agency so acquiring is authorized to construct
upon such real property, out of funds appropriated, a suitable access,
service or marginal road, and is further authorized to enter into an
agreement with the owner of the abutting premises as to his right of
entry thereupon and with said owner or with any municipality as to the
future maintenance thereof, and to transfer title and jurisdiction
thereover to such municipality. Nothing herein contained shall be
construed to repeal any specific limitation upon the powers and duties
of the office or any state agency.
