Council committee tables request to donate land for Snyder Avenue bridge upgrade pending clarification
Summary
A committee discussed a service‑director request to donate a portion of city property to Summit County for a bridge upgrade on Snyder Avenue but tabled the item pending clarification of the parcel size and whether the transfer is a full conveyance or permanent right‑of‑way.
The City Properties, Parks and Recreation committee reviewed a letter from Service Director Todd Shreve asking the city to donate a portion of municipally owned land — described in the request at an assessed value of $700 — to Summit County so the county can upgrade a bridge on Snyder Avenue.
Committee members questioned whether the proposed transfer would convey a permanent right‑of‑way or surrender possession of the entire parcel, and sought clarification of the exact acreage and parcel configuration. Committee members noted ambiguous language in the deed attachments and asked staff to confirm whether the county needs only a narrow sliver adjacent to an existing right‑of‑way or the larger half‑acre described in other documentation.
After those questions, the committee voted to table the request until staff could provide a clearer legal description of the parcel and confirm the county’s exact property needs and access timing. No conveyance or final action was taken at the meeting.
