CITY OF GAINESVILLE v. CHARLES BURGESS; EIGHTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT, CASE NO. 2011-CA-5811 (NB)
recommendation
The City Commission authorize the grant of a non-exclusive easement for purposes of ingress and egress to Charles Burgess and authorize the Mayor to execute the necessary documents.
explanation
In December 2012, the City filed an ejectment action against Charles Burgess as a result of Burgess' unauthorized possession and use of the City's real property located in the 200 Block of NE 16th Avenue. In settlement of the case, Mr. Burgess agreed to stop his unauthorized possession and use of the City's property. To allow Mr. Burgess vehicular access to his property, the City agreed to grant Mr. Burgess a non-exclusive easement over a portion of City property for ingress and egress only. In consideration of this easement, Mr. Burgess will pay the City one thousand dollars. City policy requires City Commission authorization to grant the easement. If the City Commission approves the City Attorney's recommendation, the lawsuit will be dismissed.
