City of Shenzhen to seek survey as county agrees to pursue deed transfer of 0.4-acre lot
Summary
The county agreed to proceed with surveying and a draft deed that would transfer a 0.4-acre parcel to the City of Shenzhen with a reversion clause if the land stops being used for municipal purposes; staff will return a deed for formal action after surveying.
Kyle Zimmerman, representing the Shenzhen City Council, asked the commissioners to transfer a 0.4-acre county-owned lot at the north end of the Shenzhen city limits to the city. He said the city would likely pay for a survey and planned to approve that at a council meeting later the same day.
County counsel Bill Jeter recommended preparing a deed that reserves a reversionary interest so the title would revert to Ellis County if the property ceased to be used for municipal purposes. The commission asked staff to obtain a legal description and survey and to return a deed for formal consideration at a future meeting.
