Subject:                      Ordinance accepting a warranty deed from the Village at Lake Pointe Homeowner’s Association, Inc. – Lot No. 87

 

 


Staff Recommendation:

Staff recommends acceptance of the Warranty Deed from the Village at Lake Pointe Homeowner’s Association, Inc. – Lot No. 87 to the City of Leesburg for the purpose of construction an access road from the subdivision to Sunnyside Drive.

 

Analysis:

When the subdivision was originally constructed, the Village of Lake Pointe did not have a second access road as required by City codes.  The builder/developer that assumed ownership went out of business before this requirement was met.  The intended location for the access road was Lot No. 87, adjacent to Sunnyside Drive.  The Homeowners Association has now acquired the lot and is transferring the lot by a special warranty deed to the City.  This warranty deed sets forth the conditions and resolves an issue that has been outstanding since approximately 2004. 

 

In brief, the City agrees to take title to Lot 87 and construct a paved public roadway.  The City will incur no cost other than construction of the roadway which is estimated to be $30,000.00.  The Association has requested, and the City agrees, the Association may retain a landscaping easement over the unpaved areas of Lot 87, which will allow the Association to install and maintain landscaping, irrigation system, and subdivision sign.  The cost of installation and ongoing maintenance of any such improvements are the sole obligation of the Association.

 

The City has previously designed and permitted the entrance roadway.  The County right-of-way permit has been renewed. 

 

Options:

1.  Approve the agreement to accept the Warranty Deed, or

2.  Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate

 

Fiscal Impact: 

There is not any cost in accepting this Warranty Deed.
