Council adopts ordinance conveying small parcel on Lake Clay Drive to property owner
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025‑07 to convey a 0.03‑acre triangular parcel near Lake Clay Drive to DP Partners after a title search revealed the strip had been omitted in earlier conveyances; the town attorney presented the conveyance and the council voted unanimously to adopt the ordinance.
The Lake Placid Town Council on Monday adopted Ordinance 2025‑07, approving the conveyance of a small, triangular 0.03‑acre parcel of town land on the northeast side of Lake Clay Drive to the adjacent property owner, DP Partners.
Town attorney Kim Sapp presented the public hearing for the conveyance and explained the parcel had been created decades ago during road construction and later omitted from recorded conveyances. A title search and research by the town’s contractor identified the unrecorded parcel; DP Partners agreed to pay the town’s recording and fee costs associated with the quitclaim conveyance.
Councilmember Charles moved to read and adopt the ordinance; the motion passed on a recorded vote with all members present voting yes. During discussion council members asked about potential conflicts of interest; Sapp explained she represents the town on the conveyance and that another attorney had represented the affected private party in prior matters. No public comments were offered during the hearing.
The ordinance formally transfers the parcel to DP Partners and authorizes the town clerk to record the quitclaim deed after payment of recording fees. The town will retain its other rights and easements as described in the ordinance.
Vote: Councilmember Worley — Yes; Councilmember Hayes — Yes; Councilmember Charles — Yes; Councilmember Eberhardt — Yes.
