Essex, ss.

PIPER, J.

JUDGMENT

This case commenced in this court August 3, 2007. After the court issued an Order (“Order”) on October 12, 2010, granting partial summary judgment, this case came on to be tried to the court (Piper, J.). In a decision (“Decision”) of even date, the court has made findings of fact and rulings of law, and has decided that judgment affording declaratory and injunctive relief is to enter.

In accordance with the court’s Decision issued today, and its October 12, 2010 Order granting partial summary judgment, it is

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECLARED that the owners of lots [Note 1] 563A, 564, 565, and 566 as shown on the 11802D plan, and lots 575, 661, 660, and 659 as shown on the 11802- 26 plan, each own the fee in the portion of Green Ledge Street (depicted on both the 11802D and 11802-26 plans) to the midline of the portion of the way directly in front of the respective lots owned by them in fee, in a manner consistent with today’s Decision and the derelict fee statute, G. L. c. 183, § 58; as to the portions of Green Ledge Street not owned in fee by each of the respective lot owners, those owners of those lots each have, as appurtenant to their lots, and running with the title to them, easements to use the full length of Green Ledge Street, in common with others entitled thereto, for all purposes for which public ways are or may be ordinarily used, subject to the provisions of this Judgment. Lots 561 and 562 on the 11802D plan do not have appurtenant easements over Green Ledge Street by virtue of a theory of easement by estoppel based on the conveyance of lots shown on a recorded plan, described in the Order and Decision. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECLARED that the fee owners of lots 587, 589, 652 as shown on the 11802-26 plan, and lots 567K and 567H as shown on the 11802-2 plan, each have, as appurtenant to their lots, and running with the title to them, an easement for passage on foot and by vehicle over the passageway shown as “WAY (12.00 wide)” on the 11802-26 plan (and referred in the court’s Decision as the “12 foot right-of-way”). It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECLARED that neither the owners of lot 567H nor the owners of lot 589 have any fee title in and to the 12 foot right-of-way. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECLARED that it does not overload the easement over Green Ledge Street when vehicles (which are entitled to access and use lot 660) cross lot 660 to access lot 589 or the 12 foot right-of-way, or when vehicles (which are entitled to access and use lot 589) cross lot 589 to access lot 660 or Green Ledge Street. It is further

ORDERED and ADJUDGED that the plaintiff is not entitled to any order of the court directing the removal or alteration of the following alleged encroachments, to the extent they now may be present within the layout of Green Ledge Street: any utility pole within the layout of Green Ledge Street in front of or in the vicinity of lot 661, and the building on lot 563A, including any overhead projection of and from the building. It is further

ORDERED and ADJUDGED that Count Four (Nuisance) of the plaintiff’s January 11, 2013 Amended Complaint is DISMISSED without prejudice. It is further

ORDERED and ADJUDGED that plaintiff lacks standing to assert there has been an overloading of the 12 foot right-of-way, lacks standing to bring an action of “trespass” regarding the 12 foot right-of-way, and lacks standing to bring an action to quiet title under G. L. c. 240, §§ 6-10 as to use of the 12 foot right-of-way, and all such claims are DISMISSED. It is further

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECLARED that Plaisted Properties, LLC; Hometown Auto Framingham, Inc.; Stutz Motor Car, Inc.; Stutz Plaisted, individually and as trustee of Stutz Realty Trust; and the principals, officers, agents, representatives, employees, lessees, and family members of each of them (and others acting in concert with any of them), who have actual knowledge of this Judgment, are hereby PERMANENTLY ENJOINED and RESTRAINED from:

1. Knowingly entering on foot or by vehicle upon any portion of lot 661, exclusive of any portion which is within the paved layout of Green Ledge Street.

2. Knowingly unloading or loading--while they or any material part of them are stopped, parked, or standing on any of the pavement of the layout of Green Ledge Street–any car carriers, car carrier trailers, or other automobile transport vehicles and trailers.

3. Knowingly maneuvering car carriers, car carrier trailers, or other auto transport vehicles and trailers (or suffering, causing or allowing any of them to be maneuvered) in reverse for the length of, or a substantial portion of the length of, Green Ledge Street. This prohibition is intended to prevent these car carriers and similar vehicles from backing down on Green Ledge Street, but shall not prevent or prohibit vehicle maneuvers and movements that require limited and otherwise safe temporary movement in a reverse direction, including without limitation, those maneuvers and movements involved in moving into and out of lot 575 from and to Green Ledge Street.

It is further

ORDERED that the Order and today’s Decision, and this Judgment issued pursuant to them, dispose of this entire case; the court has adjudicated or dismissed all claims by all parties in this action and has not reserved decision on any claim or defense. It is further

ORDERED that upon this Judgment becoming final, the parties each may apply to this court for appropriate orders to the Assistant Recorder of the Essex (South) land registration district to make, consistently with this Judgment, changes, alterations, or additions to their several outstanding certificates of title pursuant to G. L. c. 185, § 114. It is further

ORDERED that, except as expressly provided in this Judgment, no other or different relief (and no damages, fees, costs, or other amounts) are awarded to any party.
