Arkansas City OKs transfer of 0.67 acres to adjacent homeowners at 725 East Jackson
Summary
The commission approved a resolution to convey roughly 0.67 acres of city-owned land to Kenneth W and Dolores (transcribed variably) so they can combine it with their parcel at 725 East Jackson Avenue; staff said the remaining city acreage will remain buildable. The motion passed by voice vote.
Arkansas City commissioners voted to transfer about 0.67 acres of city-owned property to adjacent homeowners Kenneth W and Dolores (name variably transcribed) so the couple can combine the parcel with their lot at 725 East Jackson Avenue.
Staff described the parcel as a triangular, difficult-to-develop remnant next to the homeowners' property and said combining the lots would allow construction of a single-family home while the city would retain nearly 1.5 to 2 acres of the larger parcel for future use. Staff noted the smaller piece alone has limited market value without the adjoining lot.
A commissioner moved and seconded a resolution authorizing the city manager to execute a real estate sales contract and statutory quitclaim deed transferring the roughly 0.67-acre parcel by gift for the stated purpose of lot combination; the motion carried on a voice vote. No formal amendment or alternative terms were offered during the discussion.
The agenda packet included the resolution and maps; staff recommended approval. The commission did not request additional study or delay and took final action at the meeting.
