Title
Resolution releasing certain deed restrictions related to the 1995 conveyance of the property at 2916 North 22nd Street, now known as 2920 North 22nd Street, in the 7th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
This resolution releases deed restrictions placed on a property at the time of sale in 1995, to be recorded at the register of deeds.
Body
Whereas, The City of Milwaukee (“City”) previously owned a vacant lot property known as 2916 North 22nd Street, now combined and known as 2920 North 22nd Street (“The Property”); and
Whereas, The City sold The Property previously in 1995 with a quit claim deed that contained certain restrictions (Recorded document number 7195243 at the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds); and
Whereas, The 1995 quit claim deed imposed restrictions that The Property be combined with the buyer’s property, the property could not be divided from the buyer’s property, and that The Property could not have a principal building erected on it without the approval of the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, The structure owned by the 1995 buyer has since been demolished, and the Property is now a vacant lot with no existing improvements; and
Whereas, The City acquired the combined vacant lot through tax foreclosure on July 14, 2004; and
Whereas, The City is now under contract to sell the Property to Sustainable Development, LLC (“Buyer”) for the division of the Property and subsequent construction of two new single-family homes pursuant to Common Council Resolution No. 231957; and
Whereas, The Buyer has presented preliminary plans to the City of Milwaukee Department of City Development (“DCD”) and committed to working further with DCD to refine all plans prior to permitting; and
Whereas, The local Alderperson is supportive of the construction of two new single-family homes on The Property; and
Whereas, To accomplish their development goals, The Buyer must have the deed restrictions from the 1995 deed waived by the Common Council; now, therefore, be it
Resolved; By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee; that the proper City officials are authorized to execute all documents necessary to release the deed restrictions proscribed in the 1995 deed; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officials are authorized to execute all other documents necessary to accomplish the intent of this resolution.
