RESOLUTION: Funding Support for Charlottesville Honor Ride - $480 <br /> <br /> <br />PUBLIC HEARING / ORDINANCE : CONVEYANCE OF RIGHT OF WAY AT <br />CHURCH STREET (carried) <br /> <br /> Mr. Brown presented to Council. This is a request by the owners of 710 Belmont <br />Avenue , which came from a recent discovery that a free standing garage at the edge of <br />the ir property actually extends into the right of way. The request has been reviewed by <br />the appropriate City departments. It i s up to Council ’s discretion whether to charge for <br />the property, which was estimated to be valued at $2,000. <br /> <br /> The public hearing was opened. Having no speakers, the public hearing was <br />closed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Szakos asked how this home was sold with the encroachment. Mr. Huja said <br />this is not an uncommon problem. Mr. Brown sai d some garages and sheds in older <br />neighborhoods were built without exact attention to property lines. <br /> <br /> Mr. Tommy Brannock, the realtor for the property, said the current owners did not <br />build the shed. <br /> <br /> Ms. Smith said Council should work to apply even treatment to issues of this <br />nature . <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja reminded Council that they may ask for compensation for the assessed <br />value. Mr. Norris asked about title insurance. Mr. Brown said the purchasers were <br />unable to obtain title insurance . He also said there has not been a consistent approach to <br />this sort of issue by past Councils. <br /> <br /> Mr. Huja said he was in favor of charging fair market value for the conveyance. <br />Ms. Szakos clarified that the value of the property will not change with the addition. Mr. <br />N orris and Ms. Szakos said they were in favor of giving the land without charge . Ms. <br />Smith said this opens Council up to making greater decisions of this kind later on. It <br />makes sense for the owners to compensate the City. <br />
