WHEREAS, the New Haven Jewish Community Council Housing Corporation is the owner of two adjacent properties known as 18 Tower Lane and lB Tower Lane upon which Tower One and Tower East (the "Towers at Tower Lane") respectively are located; and
WHEREAS, the Towers at Tower Lane provide independent and assisted living services to elderly low- and moderate-income residents; and
WHEREAS, the New Haven Jewish Community Council Housing Corporation wishes to construct a third building ("Tower Three") to provide affordable housing and support and care services to additional members of the community so that such residents can age in place and avoid institutionalization; and

WHEREAS, the Easements were created over forty-five (45) years ago, and the City of New Haven no longer needs such easements due to changes in circumstances, including the demolition of the Church Street South Project whose residents used certain of the Easements; and

NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDERED, by the Board of Alders of the City of New Haven that the Quit Claim Deed is approved.
BE IT FURTHER ORDERED, that the Mayor be and herby is authorized to execute, acknowledge and deliver on behalf of the City of New Haven the Quit Claim Deed in a form substantially similar to that attached hereto and to execute, acknowledge and deliver any ancillary documents necessary to effectuate the intent of this Order on behalf of the City of New Haven and the City/Town Clerk of the City of New Haven be and hereby is authorized and directed to impress and attest the official seal of the City of New Haven upon the Quit Claim Deed, the ancillary documents and this Order to the extent necessary.
