Council clears outdated deed restriction on Summit Bridge Road parcels
Summary
A resolution to terminate a 1980s declaration of restrictions on two parcels west of Summit Bridge Road (annexed into Middletown in 2001) was approved to clear title and remove enforcement confusion.
The council voted to adopt Resolution R26‑042 to terminate an old declaration of restrictions affecting two tax parcels on the western side of Summit Bridge Road, clearing a deed covenant the sponsor called outdated.
Councilman Carter said the restriction dated to the 1980s and followed road realignments; the parcel was annexed into Middletown in 2001 and no longer sits under the county's land‑use jurisdiction, so sponsors said removing the restriction will facilitate clear title and future town actions. The council noted prior consideration at the land‑use committee and moved to adopt the title‑only reading.
The roll call recorded 11 yes, 1 not voting and 1 absent; the resolution was adopted. Council members framed the action as a housekeeping measure to resolve an enforceability mismatch after annexation.
