THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE OLD STONE BRIDGE ACRES CONDOMINIUM TRUST v. RICHARD E. TERRILL in his capacity as sole trustee of the LONGVIEW REALTY TRUST and BELLINGHAM CONDO II, LLC.

This is an action for declaratory relief brought pursuant G. L. c. 231A, by the governing board of a residential condominium in Bellingham against the declarant of the condominium and a purported ground lessee of the declarant. Plaintiff Board of Trustees of the Old Stone Bridge Acres Condominium Trust filed its complaint on June 8, 2010, which was amended July 2, 2010. On August 2, 2010, Defendant Richard E. Terrill, in his capacity as sole trustee of the Longview Realty Trust, and Defendant Bellingham Condo II, LLC, filed their joint answer which included one counterclaim.

On February 8, 2011, the parties filed cross-motions for summary judgment. Plaintiff moved for summary judgment on Counts I through VIII of its Amended Complaint and on Defendants’ Counterclaim. Defendants moved for summary judgment on all claims for declaratory relief. A hearing was held on March 2, 2011, after which the cross-motions were taken under advisement. On June 24, 2011, the parties filed a Stipulation of Dismissal as to Count IX of the Amended Complaint, and subsequently this court issued a “stay” in this matter based on the parties’ anticipation of a settlement of the issues between them. The stay was lifted when counsel informed the court that the settlement discussions had terminated. A decision of today’s date has issued in Plaintiff’s favor.

In accordance with that decision, it is hereby

ADJUDGED and DECLARED that all phasing rights reserved to Longview under the OSB Condominium Master Deed recorded with the Norfolk County Registry of deeds in Book 17826, at Page 307,expired on December 13, 2009, and have not been revived; it is further

ADJUDGED and DECLARED that neither Defendant has any right to construct twenty dwelling units of a separate condominium on the “Phase VI, Part 6 land,” which was submitted to the OSB Condominium as common area when the Sixteenth Amendment to the OSB Condominium Master Deed was recorded.
