The City Attorney advised the Council that the property on Albemarle Street and Henry Avenue belonging to N. W. Martin Brothers, Inc., has been .sold and the survey performed revealed that the buildings on the property which have been in existance for many years encroach upon the original street rights-of-way to the extent of six feet on the~Albemarle~Street side and seven feet on the Henry Avenue side. He reported that the contract purchasers of the property have requested that the City give them a quitclaim deed to the areas of encroachment along both streets in order to enable them to close the sale and obtain title insurance to the property. The engineering division advised that because these streets have a greater dedicated right-of-way than is presently required for such streets this request can be granted without jeopardizing the City's present or future needs. On motion by Mr. Brunton, seconded by Mr. Gatewood the Mayor was authorized to execute a quitclaim deed for the encroachment.
