Jonesville accepts donated lot for dog park, conditioned on title search and restrictive covenant
Summary
The council approved a donor's request to divide and donate a platted lot for development as a dog park, accepting a Donation Agreement conditioned on satisfactory title search and authorizing the City Manager to execute the transfer and a restrictive covenant to combine the parcel with Wright Street Park.
The Jonesville City Council voted to consider a donated lot for development of a dog park and approved three related actions: approval of the land division (the property lies in a platted subdivision and requires council approval under Section 28-55(i) of the Code of Ordinances), acceptance of a Donation Agreement prepared by the donor (the acceptance is conditioned on a satisfactory title search and legal-review approval), and authorization for the City Manager to execute and file a restrictive covenant to combine the donated parcel with Wright Street Park.
Council made the motion (moved by Brenda Guyse and supported by Andy Penrose) with the acceptance conditioned on satisfactory title verification and authorization for the City Manager to complete transfer documents. The agreement has been reviewed by legal counsel, per the minutes. The motion passed unanimously.
The action establishes a legal covenant tying the donated lot to Wright Street Park; the council directed staff to complete title work and the required filings before final transfer.
