Title
Declare Surplus and Dispose of Property in Exchange for Quit-claim Deed (B)
This item is a request to declare surplus a portion of City property in exchange for a Quit-claim Deed.
Explanation
On April 28, 2008, the City vacated a section public of right-of-way, known as Northwest 7th Place, between Northwest 4th Street and Northwest 5th Street in ordinance 070820. Adjacent to this vacated right of way is a City owned parcel, Tax Parcel 14396-000-000, and a privately owned parcel, Tax Parcel 14403-000-000. In exchange for equal square footage of Tax Parcel 14396-000-000, the owner of Tax Parcel 14403-000-000 has agreed to release any interest they may have in the vacated right of way, Northwest 7th Place, by Quit-claim Deed. The adjacent property owner is in dire need of this property exchange to add a sleeping room to her home for her handicapped child. Staff believes the exchange would be most beneficial to both parties.
Fiscal Note
Funding in the amount of $200 for administrative costs is available in the Public Works FY 2008 operating budget.
Recommendation
Recommended Motion: The City Commission: 1) declare the westerly 9.5 feet of Tax Parcel 14396-000-000 as surplus; 2) authorize the City Manager or designee to prepare a Special Warranty Deed for the westerly 9.5 feet of Tax Parcel 14396-000-000; and 3) authorize the Mayor to sign, and Clerk to attest, the Special Warranty Deed, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality, in exchange for a Quit-claim Deed from the owner of Tax Parcel 14403-000-000 for any interest in the vacated right-of-way known as Northwest 7th Place.
