Council introduces ordinance to quitclaim alley right-of-way behind 528 E. Franklin St.
Summary
The Hagerstown City Council introduced an ordinance to quitclaim a portion of an unimproved alley at the rear of 528 East Franklin Street after staff said a 1973 decision to quitclaim the alley was never recorded.
The Hagerstown City Council on a motion introduced an ordinance to quitclaim a portion of an unimproved alley right-of-way behind 528 East Franklin Street.
City staff said the alley was previously quitclaimed in 1973 when council determined it was no longer needed for a public purpose, but no deed was recorded to convey the right-of-way to the adjoining property. During the meeting a council member moved to introduce the ordinance and the motion received a second; the council voted in favor of introduction.
City staff said the move starts a formal process to record a deed that staff say was omitted in 1973; the introduction does not itself convey title. Councilmembers did not provide further detail on the intended grantee, fundraising or related easements during the introduction.
The council approved the ordinance for introduction; staff will return with the requisite paperwork and next steps for final consideration and any required public notice.
