Title
Resolution removing a deed restriction from the two properties located at 806 South 3rd Street and 810 South 3rd Street to permit sale of the property at 810 South 3rd Street.
Analysis
This resolution removes a deed restriction which has the effect of combining two residential properties, preventing a sale of one without the other. The Owner owns both properties and imposed the deed restriction in 2002 to obtain City permission to construct garages at the rear of each property. Due to a change in the zoning code and issuance of a variance by the Board of Zoning Appeals, the garages are now code compliant without the necessity of maintaining the deed restriction. Removal of the deed restriction will permit Owner to sell one of the properties.

Whereas, In October 2002, the zoning code ...
