Committee recommends formal acceptance of Ledgewood Circle segment into city street network

Summary
Public works staff presented a boundary survey and title work showing deed issues were resolved; the committee voted to recommend city council accept the surveyed portion of Ledgewood Circle so the city can manage traffic, signage and future sidewalk planning.
Public Works staff asked the committee to recommend that city council accept a surveyed portion of Ledgewood Circle — a connecting segment near Oak Beach — into the city’s accepted street network after title work and a boundary survey resolved past deeding confusion.
Caleb Mann, associate public works engineer, explained that the road and adjoining private parking lots were built decades ago and that an intended transfer of the roadway to the city had not been formally completed; subsequent condominium conversions and an incorrect deeding entity led to unclear ownership. Mann said the condo association retained a land surveyor and title attorneys and provided recorded survey monuments, a boundary plat and a warranty deed to clear title concerns.
Accepting the segment will allow the city to codify parking and signage, install MUTCD‑compliant stop signs and own the connecting corridor that links Oak Beach Drive and Austin Drive. Staff said the city had coordinated sign‑offs with departments including street maintenance, water resources, traffic, parks and recreation, BED (lighting) and the fire department. Work to disconnect an old force main and to upgrade lighting to current standards will be advanced as part of the acceptance process, with costs addressed through coordination with the owner group and utility teams.
The committee voted unanimously to recommend acceptance, subject to final review by the city attorney and council.
