Title

Quit-Claim Deed to Clear Title on Lot 9, Renaissance Subdivision (B)  

This item involves a request to authorize the Mayor to execute a Quit-Claim Deed to clear a cloud of ownership on the title of Lot 9, Renaissance Subdivision, owned by Lorenzo Ford, Sr., located at 716 Northwest 7th Street.

Explanation

The 1983 platting of the Renaissance Subdivision (Plat Book  M, Page 3) demonstrates the intent of the City to convey a small narrow strip of land between the land currently owned by Lorenzo Ford, Sr., Lot 9, and the right-of-way of NW 7^th Street.  However, the transfer of the property never occurred.  A pending sale of Lot 9 requires that the cloud on the title of the narrow strip be resolved.  The expeditious means of resolution is for the City to execute a Quit-Claim Deed for Lot 9 and deliver it to Mr. Ford.   

Fiscal Note

There is no fiscal impact.  The property owner will bear the financial responsibility.

Recommendation

The City Commission authorize the Mayor to execute a Quit-Claim Deed to Lorenzo Ford, Sr., for Lot 9 of the Renaissance Subdivision, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
