Title

Declare as Surplus and Authorization of a Special Warranty Deed - Butler Properties Land Trust (B)

This item is a request to declare a portion of right of way as surplus and approve and authorize the execution of a Special Warranty Deed onto Mary Jane Fredrickson as successor Trustee of the S. Clark Butler Properties Land Trust dated December 10, 1998.

Explanation

On July 14, 2009 and as part of the 2008 annexation to the City, the County by Resolution 09-64, recorded in Official Records Book 3899, page 1107 of the Public Records of Alachua County Florida, conveyed all the roads within the annexation area to the City.  Included in the Resolution of roads lying southerly of Southwest 20^th Avenue, were Southwest 37^th Boulevard/Southwest 33^rd Place that lies between Southwest Archer Road and Southwest 42^nd Street.  A portion of the intersection of Southwest 37^th Boulevard and Southwest 33^rd Place no longer serves a public purpose as right of way.  Public Works has received all the right of way deeds and easements for drainage associated with the Butler Development Planned Development and believe it to be in the best interest of the City to convey this portion of abandoned right of way to Mary Jane Fredrickson as successor Trustee of the S. Clark Butler Properties Land Trust dated December 10, 1998.

Fiscal Note

The administrative cost is less than $100 and will be covered in the Public Works Department’s annual operating budget.

Clark Butler Properties Land Trust dated December 10, 1998; and 3) authorize the Mayor and Clerk of the Commission to execute the Special Warranty Deed, subject to approval from the City Attorney as to form and legality.
