Background
The City is in the process of buying Right of Way for St. Mary's Road Widening

Project)from Buena Vista Road to Robin Road). In the process of acquisition,

the City needs to acquire property from Hugh McMath Investment Company (Parcel

3). Adjacent to the McMath property is Parcel 4 that had to be purchased,

leaving a remainder Parcel 4R that is too small or shaped to be functional.

Hugh McMath requested that the city sell the remitment (4R) for the same price

we paid him for his property. They are the only adjoining property owner. The

selling of said property became part of the deal thereby allowing the City to

recuperate acquisition cost.
Analysis
Said property is a remainder of property needed for right of way. This action

is supported by the City Charter Sec. 7-501(4)
Financial Considerations
This action saves right of way cost and keeps property on the tax digest.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement
Legal Considerations
The City Attorney has no objections to this in accordance with the City Charter

ref. the above chapter.
Recommendations/ Actions
Authorize the City Manager to execute a Quit Claim to Hugh McMath Investment

Company to purchase 0.061 acres of a remnant (parcel 4R) of the St. Mary's Road

Widening Project, STP-8038(7).
