Council approves transfer of Sandpiper outlot to Lake County Parks
Summary
The council voted 7–0 to transfer a Sandpiper Subdivision outlot to the Lake County Parks and Recreation Department so the county will maintain the parcel; residents backing the move told the council they supported the transfer.
The Town of Maryville council unanimously approved Resolution 26-01 on Feb. 10 to transfer an outlot that was part of the Sandpiper Subdivision to the Lake County Parks and Recreation Department. Councilors and staff explained the parcel came into town ownership after failing to be maintained following a tax sale and that nearby residents who back up to the lot had requested county maintenance.
Town staff said the outlot was created when the subdivision was platted decades ago and that there was no homeowners association to take responsibility for upkeep. Council members described conversations between neighborhood residents and Craig Zantra of Lake County Parks indicating the county is willing to accept and maintain the property.
The resolution was moved and seconded, and the roll call recorded seven votes in favor; the motion carried. Councilors said the transfer is consistent with local park-management objectives even though the parcel was not specifically identified in the town’s parks master plan.
What’s next: The transfer will move the parcel into Lake County Parks’ inventory for maintenance; no further town action was announced during the meeting.
