Commission agrees to deed small right-of-way parcel to Skeens with survey costs paid by homeowners
Summary
Commissioners approved deeding a small excess right-of-way adjacent to Lakeshore Road to John and Monica Skeen for no purchase price, with the Skeens responsible for survey and recording costs to correct a platting irregularity and restore driveway access.
Planning manager Tom McKinney presented a small triangular parcel of excess county right-of-way beside Lakeshore Road that had produced a mismatch between the subdivision plat and the road plat. He said the parcel had been informally maintained by adjacent homeowners and that conveying it would fix symmetry and driveway access issues.
A commissioner proposed deeding the parcel to the Skeens without charge; after discussion the motion was restated as a deed at $0 with the Skeens paying the survey and recording costs. The motion carried in committee. McKinney noted the homeowners will likely pay for the resurvey, and the county attorney had reviewed the process.
What this means: the county will transfer the excess right-of-way to John and Monica Skeen at no purchase cost, subject to the homeowners reimbursing survey and recording fees. The deed process will require a survey and standard recording steps before the property transfer is finalized.
