Item No. -13-147
Date: May 13, 2013
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing the City Manager to Execute a Quitclaim Deed Granting a
Portion of a Paper Street Known as Gray Street to the Adjacent Property
Owners at 85 Mildred Avenue
Responsible Department: Legal
Commentary:
This Order would authorize the City Manager to execute a quitclaim deed granting a portion of
Gray Street, which was never accepted or built, to the nearest abutting property owners.
In 1997, the State Legislature passed a law transferring rights to unaccepted and unbuilt rights-
of-way to the abutters when the municipality determines that they no longer have an interest in
the right of way. Engineering no longer has a use for this right of way. Therefore, based on
State statute, the City proposes to vacate a portion of the right of way from the center line to
the property line to the owners at 85 Mildred Avenue.
A similar, separate deed will grant the other half of this unaccepted portion of Gray Street to the
abutting property on the other side of the unaccepted street.
