DESCRIPTION
Polk County has plans to construct a memorial sign and related facilities adjacent to the Fort Fraser Trail just to the south of Boy Scout Ranch Road in the Bartow area. Through coordination between the County and the developer of a residential subdivision known as Hancock Crossings the developer established a tract on the plat identified as Tract E (Memorial Tract) to be utilized by the County for the planned improvements. The dedication language on the plat, which was recorded in Plat Book 204, at Pages 1 through 5, appears to be an attempt to dedicate Tract E to the County; however, it is unclear and even if clear would not convey fee simple title of the tract. In order to obtain fee title and resolve any ambiguities in the plat dedication, the County contacted the developer, KB Home Orlando LLC (“KB Home”), and requested a conveyance of the tract. KB Home has agreed to the request and has executed and delivered a Quit Claim Deed to the County for Tract E (Memorial Tract). Accepting the Quit Claim Deed from KB Home will allow the County to take fee simple ownership of the parcel for the planned memorial.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board accept the above-mentioned Quit Claim Deed.
FISCAL IMPACT
