title
Approval of Quitclaim Deed for 17’ of Right-of-Way along N. Kiowa-Bennett Rd.
end
Purpose and Request:
recommended action
The purpose of this report is to request the Board approve a Quitclaim Deed for 17’ of right-of-way which was dedicated to Arapahoe County. The right-of-way is adjacent to 80’ of existing right-of-way belonging to the Town of Bennett. Therefore, the County has no interest or need for the right-of-way as it is not of practical use. The Public Works and Development staff recommends approval of the Quitclaim deed.
end
Background and Discussion: Arapahoe County accepted 17’ of right-of-way on the east side of North Kiowa-Bennett Road that was dedicated by the Muegge Farms Subdivision Plat. The right-of-way which was dedicated to Arapahoe County is adjacent to the remainder of N Kiowa-Bennett Rd (80’ of right-of-way) which is already owned and maintained by the Town of Bennett. Because of this, Staff finds it appropriate to approve the Quitclaim deed to the Town of Bennett.
Alternatives: The board could deny the Quitclaim deed request and retain the 17’ of right-of-way along North Kiowa-Bennett Road.
