Authorizing the acceptance of a Quit Claim Deed, at no cost to the City of Madison, dedicating land located at 603 E. Wilson Street from the City Engineering Division for public right of way purposes.
Body
WHEREAS, in 1996 the Common Council of the City of Madison approved an exchange from Louis G. Fortis to the City of Madison (the “City”) for lands located at 603 E. Wilson Street (the “Property”) by Resolution No. 52,635, ID No. 18305; and
WHEREAS, the Property was conveyed by Quit Claim Deed, recorded on May 9, 1996 as Document No. 2760948, without including the purpose of the Property for use as public right of way, resulting in the creation of a taxable parcel; and
WHEREAS, the Property has since been managed by the City Engineering Division and said Division wishes to dedicate the Property to the City to memorialize the original intent of the land swap for use of the Property as public right of way, thereby rendering the Property’s tax parcel obsolete;
WHEREAS, the City Engineering Division recommends that said dedication be accepted via Quit Claim Deed.
