Agenda Report # 44
TO: Mayor and Council
SUBJECT: Release of Reversionary and Restrictive Clause on
Property at 2400 13th Street
INITIATED BY: David Arrington, Deputy City Manager
Recommendation: Authorize the City Manager to release the reversionary and
restriction clause included in the Quit Claim deed on property located at 2400
13th Street a/k/a Tax Map 185 051 005.
Background: Resolution 28-09 approved by Council in January 2008
authorized the conveyance of property located at 2400 13th Street to the
adjacent property owners. The conveyance of the property included a
reversionary and restriction clause that provided the property would revert
back to the City if needed for future road improvements and no permanent
structures could be built on the property.
Analysis: The property located at 2400 13th Street was convey to the adjacent
property owners as approved in Resolution 28-09. The property owners properly
re-platted the property into the adjacent lot creating a single lot which
included an office building and parking lot. The owners now have plans for the
property which will require the property to be utilized as collateral by a
bank. The reversionary and restrictive clause in the deed for the property
conveyed by the City is a barrier to the owners moving forward with development
plans. The City no longer has plans for road improvements to 13th Street in
this area. There are no current or future plans for transportation
improvements in the area beyond required maintenance.
Financial Considerations: The release of the deed restrictions will not have a
financial impact since the City does not have a planned use for the property.
Projected Annual Fiscal Impact Statement: None
Legal Considerations: Council must approve all matters relating to real estate.
Recommendations/ Actions: Authorize the City Manager to release the
reversionary and restriction clause included in the Quit Claim deed on property
located at 2400 13th Street a/k/a Tax Map 185 051 005.
