Council approves property transfers and an easement purchase after executive session
Summary
The council unanimously approved a fee‑simple transfer of Project Restore lots to Al and Tammy Schafer with deed restrictions including a five‑year clawback, and approved a purchase agreement for easements from Mastoria Homes LLC for 52.52 acres (sales price recorded in the transcript as "$2,317").
After returning from executive session the council approved two property actions.
First, the council approved a fee‑simple transfer of lots previously sold under Project Restore to current holders Al and Tammy Schafer (Hunt CAD number 48164) with documents to be finalized by the city manager. Councilmember moved approval subject to two deed restrictions: any money borrowed against the property must be spent on or adjacent to the properties; and a five‑year clawback provision that would revert undeveloped lots to city ownership if construction is not substantially complete within five years. The motion passed unanimously.
Second, the council approved a purchase agreement for a waterline and electric transmission and distribution easement from Mastoria Homes LLC covering 52.52 acres. The transcript recorded the sales price as "$2,317"; the meeting authorized the city manager to complete closing documents. That motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the actions advance disposition of Project Restore lots with development conditions intended to ensure investment on the parcels, and secure easements needed for utility infrastructure tied to future development. The transcript lacks a full numeric sales amount for the Mastoria Homes parcel; the officially executed documents should be consulted for precise pricing and payment terms.
Speakers quoted in this article include the council member who moved the motions and the mayor.
