N.Y. Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law § 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.
