Council approves conveyance of vacated Cedar Street parcel; councilmember abstains
Summary
The Charles City Council approved Resolution 8625 to convey a vacated portion of Cedar Street to the adjoining property owner, with a $750 payment to cover city costs; the councilmember whose property benefits abstained from the vote and prior discussion.
The Charles City Council on Aug. 27 approved Resolution 8625 to convey a vacated section of Cedar Street south of Ryden Circle to the adjoining property owner, with the deed retaining a permanent easement for public and private utilities.
City staff member John summarized the action, saying the conveyance changes ownership only and preserves public access and utility easements. He said the city will receive $750 to cover public-notice and administrative costs related to the conveyance.
The property being conveyed was described in the record as belonging to Dellay Freezeman and spouse; council minutes show that Dellay Freezeman abstained from the discussion and prior votes on the item. The deed language will include a permanent easement to maintain utility access over the area.
Councilmembers asked no substantive questions beyond confirming the easement and the administrative payment. The resolution was moved, seconded, and recorded as approved in the meeting minutes; the record notes the abstention by the councilmember whose property is the recipient of the conveyance.
The council’s action follows a public hearing and prior steps to vacate the street; staff said the conveyance does not change public utility access. No additional permits or conditions beyond those in the deed were stated at the meeting.
The council moved on to other agenda items after the roll call on this resolution.
