Map 16, Lot 004; Approximately 118 acres
Acquired by deed from Alfred Lenz, Administratrix of the Estate of Alexander J.
Izbicki, et al. to Town of Millis, dated June 23, 1984, recorded with the Norfolk
Registry of Deeds in Book 6441, Page 451 (no restrictions or purpose set forth in
deed)
• Paid $925,000 - Source of Funding: Taxation (Override), Borrowing
• Town Meeting Votes
• Article 1, March 20, 1984 Special Town Meeting - Town voted to acquire
property (note that Article 1 states property consists of 108 acres) for general
municipal purposes
• Article 4, October 29, 1984 Special Town Meeting - Town voted to change
land use from general municipal purposes to use for parks and recreation
• Article 10, November 17, 1986 Special Town Meeting - Town voted to
remand the care and maintenance of the Oak Grove Farmhouse from the Board
of Public Works to the Millis Historical Commission, to manage same in
accordance with Chapter 40, Section 8D, and authorized the Board of
Selectmen to petition the Legislature to take the structure out of park
purposes. Query: Was this special legislation obtained, and what is extent of
property under control of Historical Commission?
• Article 52, May 11, 1987 Annual Town Meeting - Town voted to establish a
commission known as the Oak Grove Farm Commission, with authority to
oversee and manage the property known as the Oak Grove Farm, said
Commission to consist of five members to be appointed by the Town
Moderator
• Paid $925,000 - Source of Funding: Taxation, Borrowing
• Property already has several playing fields on it
Analysis
The Oak Grove property is held for park purposes, under G.L. c. 40, §3. Pursuant
to G.L. c. 40, §7, land taken or held for park purposes shall be forever kept open and
maintained as a public park, and no building which exceeds six hundred square feet in area
on the ground shall be erected on a park dedicated to the use of the public without leave
of the general court, but, except in parks in Boston, and parks comprising less than one
hundred acres in extent, structures for shelter, refreshment and other purposes may be
erected. In my opinion, additional playing fields may be constructed at Oak Grove.

Cassidy Property
•
Map 11, Lot 026-1; Approximately 36 acres
•
Acquired by deed from Mary Cassidy to Town of Millis, dated January 22, 1999,
recorded with the Norfolk Registry of Deeds in Book 13179, Page 205 (no
restrictions or purpose set forth in deed). See plan entitled "Plan of Land in Millis
The Cassidy Farm," dated September 18, 1998, recorded with the Norfolk
Registry of Deeds as No. 59 of 1999, Plan Book 59
Paid $800,000 - Source of Funding: Taxation, Borrowing and Self-Help Grant

•
•
Article 17, May 11, 1988 Annual Town Meeting - Town voted to acquire
property for general municipal purposes, for the purpose of conveyance, open
space, preservation, construction of recreation fields, recreation fields,
buildings, facilities, parking and conveyance
• Article 3, October 20, 1998 Special Town Meeting - Town voted to transfer
the care, custody, management and control from the Board of Selectmen for
general municipal purposes and for the purpose of conveyance to the
Conservation Commission for conservation, open space, and passive recreation
purposes under G.L. C. 40, §8C, such transfer to take effect upon the receipt
by the Town of a commitment from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
Division of Conservation Services for reimbursement of a portion of the cost
of acquiring the Cassidy property under the Self-Help Grant program
A plan entitled "Conservation Restriction Plan Town of Millis," dated February 8,
1999, recorded with the Norfolk Registry of Deeds at Plan Book 464, as Plan No.
156 of 1999, describes approximately 19 acres ofthe approximately 36 acres as
"conservation restriction" land (please note that the property is not actually subject
to a conservation restriction). The property described as "conservation restriction"
on this plan is subject to the terms of a Selt-Help Agreement, recorded with the
Norfolk Registry of Deeds in Book 13293, Page 251, and, further, in the event of
a new use or disposition ofthe property, Article 97 legislation would need to be
obtained
Army Corps of Engineers easement on approximately 10.52 acres ofthe 19 acres
ofthe "conservation restriction" land
Remaining one-half (approximately 17 acres) held for general municipal purposes
Property held for general municipal purposes is bisected by stream and 'Vet
meadow"; may not be appropriate for creation of playing fields
Analysis
Portion of property held for general municipal purposes (approximately 17 acres) maybe
appropriate for mitigation if other property subject to Article 97 is proposed to be used for
the new recreational fields; remaining portion (approximately 19 acres) is subject to
Article 97.
Sisto Field Property
•
Map 29, Lot 11; Approximately 3.3 acres
•
Acquired by deed from William F. Cunningham and Mary M. Cunningham to Town of
Millis, dated May 15, 1957, recorded with the Norfolk Registry of Deeds in Book 3563,
Page 522 (no restrictions or purpose set forth in deed), See plan entitled "Plan of Hosmer
Park Millis, Mass.," dated October 1921, recorded with the Norfolk Registry of Deeds in
Plan Book 100, Plan 4851; Access presumably subsequently acquired from Plan Street
•
Town Meeting Votes
•
Article 42, 1957 Fall Special Town Meeting - Town voted to purchase, for school
purposes, a three acre parcel of land which abuts the Town Park, appropriated the sum
of $5,000 for purchase, and voted that money be raised from the tax levy of the
current year
•
Article 46, 1957 Fall Special Town Meeting - Town voted to appropriate the sum of
$1,200 for the installation and maintenance of a Little League Field on School
Department property
Analysis
It is my opinion that, unless a transfer vote has taken place, Sisto Field is under the care, custody
and control of the School Committee. Playing fields are an appropriate use of property held for
school purposes, and Sisto Field is thus an appropriate site for additional recreational fields.
However, the School Committee could determine, at some point in the future, that it wished to use
this property for some purpose other than playing fields, potentially after the Town had expended
considerable sums to construct new playing fields. Accordingly, if the Town of Millis determines
that Sisto Field will be the site of new playing fields, it would be prudent to transfer the care,
custody and control of the property to the Town of Millis, acting by and through its Board of
Selectmen. This transfer would require a vote of the School Committee that the property is no
longer needed for school purposes.

The PARTI CIPANT acknowledges Article 97 of the Massachusetts Constitution which states, in
part, that: "Lands or easements taken or acquired for such park, recreation or conservation purposes
shall not be used for other purposes or otherwise disposer! of except by laws enacted by a two-thirds
vole, taken by yeas and nays, of each branch of the General Court." The PARTICIPANT hereby
agrees that any property or facilities comprising the PROJECT will not be used for purposes other
than those stipulated herein or otherwise disposed of unless the PARTICIPANT receives the
appropriate authorization from the General Court, the approval of the Secretary of Environmental
Affairs, and any authorizations required by the provisions of Massachusetts General Laws Chapter
40, § ISA or St. 1996, Chapter 15,
5.
The PARTICIPANT agrees that any property or facilities comprising the PROJECT shall be
retained and used at all times for conservation purposes as stipulated herein. In the event that the
property or facilities cease to be used for such purposes, all interest in the property or facilities shall
revert to the Commonwealth pursuant to St. 1996, Chapter 15. The, the PAKTICIPANT shall notify
the Secretary in writing of any change in use or potential clmnge in use of the property or facilities
that is inconsistent with said conservation purposes- The PARTICIPANT shall have 90 days from
the date written notice was received by the Secretary to present satisfactory evidence that the basis
for reversion has been cured, in which case the property or facilities shall not revert. Upon receipt
of written notice, the Secretary may review the circumstances of the property or facilities and
determine that reversion oi' the property or facilities ia not appropriate or essential to the protection
of public open space in which case the provisions of paragraph 6 shall apply.
6.
The PARTICIPANT further agrees that despite any such authorization and approval, in the event
the property or facilities comprising the PROJECT are used for purposes other than those described
hereinv the PARTICIPANT shall provide other property and facilities of equal value and utility to
be available to the general public for conservation and recreational purposes provided that the equal
value and utility and the proposed use of said other property and facilities is specifically agreed to
by the Secretary of Environmental Affairs.
7.
Failure by the PARTICIPANT to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the
policies or regulation of the Self-Help Program may, at the sole option of the
COMMONWEALTH, suspend or terminate all obligations of the COMMONWEALTH
hereunder.
8.
PARTICIPANT and COMMONWEALTH acknowledge thai the benefit desired by the
COMMONWEALTH from the full compliance by the PARTICIPANT is the existence,
protection, and the net increase of conservation land, and furthermore that such benefit exceeds to
an immeasurable and unasccrtainablc extent the dollar value of the funding provided by Ihis
Agreement, and, therefore, in recognition of said disparity, the PARTICIPANT agrees tliat payment
of money damages by the PARTICIPANT to the COMMONWEALTH would be an inadequate
remedy for a breach of this Agreement by the PARTICIPANT, and, therefore, the
COMMONWEALTH may enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement by requiring
specific performance of the PARTICXPAISTS obligations.

Sisto Field Property
Map 29, Lot 11; Approximateiy 3.3 acres
Acquired by deed from William F. Cunningham and Mary M. Cunningham to Town of Millis,
dated May 15, 1957, recorded with the Norfolk Registry of Deeds in Book 3563, Page 522 (no
restrictions or purpose set forth in deed). See plan entitled "Plan of Hosmer Park Millis, Mass.,"
dated October 1921, recorded with the Norfolk Registry of Deeds in Plan Book 100, Plan 4851;
Access presumably subsequently acquired from Plan Street
Town Meeting Votes
A, Article 42, 1957 Fall Special Town Meeting-Town voted to purchase, For school purposes, a
three acre parcel of land which abuts the Town_Park, appropriated the sum of $5,000 for
purchase, and voted that money be raised from the tax levy of the current year
B. Article 46, 1957 Fall Special Town Meeting-Town voted to appropriate the sum of $1,200
for the installation and maintenance of a Little League Field on School Department property
Analysis
It is my opinion that, unless a transfer vote has taken place, Sisto Field is under the care, custody and
control of the School Committee. Playing fields are an appropriate use of property held for school
purposes, and Sisto Field is thus an appropriate site for additional recreational fields. However, the
School Committee could determine, at some point in the future, that it wished to use this property for
some purpose other than playing fields, potentially after the Town had expended considerable sums to
construct new playing fields. Accordingly, if the Town of Miliis determines that Sisto Field will be the
site of new playing fields, it would be prudent (o transfer the care, custody and control of the property to
the Town of Millis, acting by and through its Board of Selectmen. This transfer would require a vote of
the School Committee that the property is no longer needed for school purposes.
