That email had 3 supporting documents sent in separate emails on  the same day due to the large file size.  I am happy to resend these documents if you do not have them already.  Supporting  Documents: 1. Chain of Title/Deeds for South Dyer and Racketts Court 2. History of Racketts Court Summary with Tax Map 3. Draft Map of Proposed South Dyer Conservation Subdivision. The only other information we have are the surveys of our South Dyer Property (including Racketts Court) and surveys of the 2 adjacent properties  on Racketts Court that use it as a ROW.  I am attaching these surveys to this email. 1. Survey 2001 SCTM 1000-17-6-14.1 &14.2  Tuthill South Dyer Property 2. Survey 2017 SCTM 1000-17-6-9.1 265 Racketts Court Cavagnaro Property 3  Survey 2017 updated 2020 SCTM 1000-17-6-8 405 Racketts Court  Treiber Property  Sandra Goleski at Chicago Title is the expert on this deed research should you have any specific questions. She can be reached at 631 284 2400 or direct 631 574-2302.   Also I have been very involved in this research and am happy to answer questions and  resend any of this information. Thanks again for all your effort to move this project forward as we are focused on getting our plans to the Planning Board for review.  Warm Regards, Julia Mulligan   312 404-1125 On Dec 17, 2020, at 1:36 PM, Julia Tuthill <julia@juliatuthill.com> wrote: Hi Heather and Mark, Warm Holiday greetings to you and your families. We want to thank you for your continued input and and support of our Conservation Subdivision project this year! We are working diligently to prepare for the review of the Tuthill Conservation Subdivision Resolution items with the Planning Board ideally in January 2021. One of our key focus areas is finalizing the ROW for South Dyer. In our last meeting we proposed the use of Racketts Court as the ROW to the 4 proposed lots on South Dyer Parcel.  This allows for  the use of an existing road to minimize view shed/environmental  impact and allows for less roadway turns for fire safety.   The next step  was  to provide the Deeds/ Chain of title confirming ownership / ROW on Racketts Court.   Sandra Goleski from Fidelity National Title completed a thorough Chain of Title and Deed search (THANK YOU SANDRA!)  for the South Dyer property, Racketts Court and all adjacent properties on Racketts Court. The Chain of Title Document from Fidelity National Title  and a document summarizing the history of Racketts Court based on the historical deeds is attached.  The research confirmed that the South Dyer LLC has deeded ownership and rights of way  based on L539 p367 and L566p88 as follows : 1. Ownership of  the Westerly 1/2  of private road, Racketts Court (1 1/2 rods in width (24.75ft) and 436 ft in length) from the Main Road in Orient. 2. Right of Way over ALL of Racketts Court (3 rods (49.5ft) in width and 436 ft in length) from the Main Road in Orient.  This information was reviewed and confirmed by our attorney, Martin Finnegan, from Twomey & Latham firm who also spoke with Sandra Goleski to confirm the findings of her work. They are both copied on this email.  Martin also mentioned that a Right of Way over Racketts Court is part of the current deed of record L 12574 cp90 with the clause “together with all the right, title and interest, if any, of the party of the first part in and to any streets and roads abutting the above described premises to the center line thereof”.   As a next step Martin is going to prepare Confirmation Deeds for the South Dyer LLC tax parcels (1000-017.00-06-014.003 and 1000-017.00-06.00-014.002  ) incorporating the ownership and ROW specifics with regards to Rackett’s Court.    Martin recommended that we forward this  information confirming our ownership and ROW on Racketts Court to you ASAP  as he knows our sense of urgency to get our  Conservation Subdivision plans reviewed by the Planning Board  with your support.  With your agreement to this supporting information we will proceed with using Racketts Court at the proposed ROW for the 4 parcels on the South Dyer as outlined in the attached map. Please confirm if this is sufficient proof of  Racketts Court ownership and ROW for us to proceed with using Racketts Court as the ROW to our 4 proposed lots in the South Dyer Conservation Subdivision.  Many thanks, Julia Mulligan Attached Documents: 1.
