Abstract
The Town of Lee purchased the Garrity Reserve parcel from the Town of Durham on March 5, 2008. The Warranty Deed was recorded at the Strafford County Registry of Deeds as Book 3622 Page 0157. The value of this parcel was used as a match for a grant from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services (NH DES) Water Supply Land Grant Program to protect the Lee Five Corners Reserve (which the Town of Lee also acquired from the Town of Durham). The Garrity Reserve was conveyed to Town of Lee subject to a set of conservation restrictions, which are discussed below. The property was surveyed in 1998 by Atlantic Survey Co, Inc; the survey was recorded at the Strafford County Registry of Deeds as Plan 85-26. The Garrity Road property was purchased by the Town of Durham for use as a sand and gravel pit. The first parcel was acquired in 1928 from Leonard B. Bunker (Book 431 Page 494). Additional land was acquired from Albert and Alice Littlehale in 1942 (Book 518 Page 24) and 1962 (Book 760 Page 103). Since the early-1980s, the pit was not heavily used as the material was considered too fine and silty for most of the Towns needs, including for winter road sanding. Durham evaluated the site for use a borrow source for construction projects, but that too was deemed of little value. The Town of Durham also concluded that any reclamation would be costly. The property was considered surplus property of the Town of Durham, and was therefore used as an in-kind match toward protection of the Lee Five Corners Reserve.
