Item No. 12-260
Date: August 13, 2012
Item/Subject: ORDER, Accepting Quitclaim Deeds from Springer Place Development
Corporation and Cobalt Properties, LLC for the Springer Drive Right -of -Way
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary:
In 1991, as part of the original Wal-Mart development on Springer Drive, the City required
Webber Oil Company to build a new right turn lane from Springer Drive to Hogan Road. The land
beneath a portion of this lane, however, was never transferred to the City. The land has since
changed hands, but remains privately owned.
The proposed Order would allow the owners of the two lots closest to Hogan Road on the
northern side of Springer Drive, Cobalt Properties LLC and Springer Place Development
Corporation, to transfer the land underneath and adjacent to Springer Drive to the City. This will
give the City proper title to this land.
The Order also allows for Declarations of No Action to be signed. These provide that the
property owners are not responsible for nonconformities stemming from the sale of land to the
City, so long as those nonconformities are not later expanded. Given the small scale of the
transfer and the location of the land in question, any such nonconformities should be minimal.
