Council approves deed to resolve 702 East Beach encroachment
Summary
To facilitate a pending sale, council approved directing the mayor and city administrator to sign a quitclaim deed transferring a 220-square-foot encroachment area at 702 East Beach to the homeowners, with restrictions against future expansion.
The council approved staff’s recommendation to deed a 220-square-foot portion of city right-of-way at 702 East Beach to the property owners to facilitate a pending sale.
City staff explained the site is a former commercial building now used as a single-family home that encroaches on city right‑of‑way. Staff said lenders and title companies indicated the previously approved encroachment agreement did not meet closing requirements; deeding the small corner to the homeowners will allow the sale to proceed while expressly prohibiting future expansion into the former right‑of‑way and requiring owners to remedy any maintenance that affects the right‑of‑way.
Council discussed whether a reversion clause (deeding the land back to the city if the building is removed) would be advisable; staff said lenders would not accept the reversion language and it was removed from the final documents. The council moved and approved the recommendation on the consent agenda.
