Mannington Committee accepts 2.5‑acre Fletcher Estate land gift on Mannington‑Yorketown Road
Summary
The committee accepted a conveyance of approximately 2.5 acres (Block 14, Lot 27) from the Fletcher Estate after the estate administrator, Tierra Thompson, confirmed the documents; title insurance was available and the title company will bill the township. Motion carried.
Horner updated the committee on a proposed land gift from the Fletcher Estate: conveyance documents for Block 14, Lot 27 (on Mannington‑Yorketown Road) were prepared and approved by the title company, which indicated title insurance is available based on the assessed value and no up‑front payment is required. Tierra Thompson, identified in the record as the late Ms. Fletcher’s daughter and the estate administrator, reviewed the documents and said the estate wished to proceed with the gift.
On a motion by Emel, seconded by Patrick, the committee accepted the land — described in the meeting record as approximately 2.5 acres. The motion carried. The transcript records that the title company will send the bill to the township for title insurance and related closing costs; the assessed value used to determine insurance coverage is referenced in the file but not read into the meeting minutes.
The committee’s acceptance allows the township to receive the parcel subject to normal title and recording procedures. The record does not specify planned township use for the parcel, any conditions attached to the gift, or whether the parcel will be held for conservation, public use or future disposal.
