Said meeting was held at the Mansfield High School Auditorium, East Street, Mansfield, Massachusetts. There was a quorum present and voting. ARTICLE 19 To see if the Town will authorize the Airport Commission, pursuant to M.O.L. c. 90, 9 51 F, to enter into a new lease for a portion of quadrant four at the Mansfield Municipal Airport to replace the existing lease between the Town and Mansfield Landing, LLC dated December 8, 2005. The leased premises are described in Attachment A of the new lease. Said new lease shall be on the same terms and conditions as the existing lease, with the addition of land area and an increase in lease payments. The term shall be 60 years commencing on a date not later than December 31, 2012, and on which a condominium master deed for the leasehold is recorded, or take any action in relation thereto. EXPLANATION: The Airport has a lease with Mansfield Landing, LLC for land at the airport. The tenant formed a condominium association for the new hangars they built. The M.O.L. requires that all leases for condominiums be at least 60 years. A Town Meeting vote is required for any lease over 20 years. Why do we need to vote again? Mansfield Landing, Inc. wishes to construct additional hangars on airport property adjacent to their existing leased property. In order to meet the requirements of the law, a new Condominium Master Lease must be made. MOL also requires that the 60 year lease start the same date as the new Condominium Master Lease. The condominium master lease cannot be completed until the hangars are near completion, sometime before the end of the year. A yes vote on this article would authorize the Airport Commission to cancel the existing lease and sign a new lease to coincide with the date of condominium master lease. Since the new hangars will be privately owned, the Commission estimates an additional $20-$25,000 in property taxes to the town from the condo association.
