Margate authorizes quick‑claim of 30‑foot parcel on State Road 7 to adjacent owner
Summary
The commission authorized the mayor and city manager to execute a quitclaim deed transferring a 30‑foot strip adjacent to State Road 7 back to the longtime adjacent owner to facilitate property sale and redevelopment.
The commission approved a quitclaim deed to return a 30‑foot strip of land on State Road 7 to the adjacent property owner after the owner's attorney said the parcel had been conveyed to the city decades ago and had been leased back to the owner, obstructing resale and redevelopment.
Attorney Matthew Scott, representing the property owner, told the commission the parcel had been conveyed to the city in the late 1980s, then leased back; the strip is currently treated as part of the owner's parking and access. Scott said his client is under contract with Broward Health for a proposed medical office use and that conveyance is needed to clear title and allow sale for redevelopment. After some questions about prior grant conditions and the small number of similar city‑held slivers, the commission authorized a quitclaim deed for no consideration (the applicant agreed to pay recording fees); the motion carried on roll call.
