Council hears plan to correct Fourth Street property description after county records error
Summary
Council discussed that a portion of Fourth Street was recorded as a private parcel in county records despite being a public right-of-way; Law Director Jeffery Forbes said he will work with the County Map Room and Prosecutor’s Office to correct the record.
Council addressed a land-records problem affecting Fourth Street near Friends' Church: the County Map Room shows part of the street as a private parcel even though the village maintains it as a public right-of-way. Law Director Jeffery Forbes said the discrepancy likely originated when property was divided decades ago and that he has contacted the County Map Room and the Prosecutor’s Office to seek correction.
Council discussed the history of the roadway’s recording; Forbes said maps from the 1950s show the area as a public road and right-of-way and that the Village will collaborate with county officials to have the record corrected. No formal action was taken during the March 17 meeting beyond reporting the effort.
