a deed before getting a building permit.
5 ayes
5 ayes
Attorney Meyers explained that Mr. Robinson sold the west one -half of his property
to a contractor and is now going through a torrens proceeding. The contractor
wants to pull a building permit before the torrens proceedings are finished.
Attorney Meyers stated that waiving this requirement would be contrary to what
has been done in the past.
Mr. Robinson explained that on April 16th he turned over the abstract to his
Attorney to file for torrens. He then had a buyer so he applied to the Council
to split the property on October 25th. Mr. Robinson had the deeds typed up but
his attorney advised him that this would cause problems with the torrens pro-
ceedings. The property has been sold but there has not been a closing yet.
The developer has already sold the house with a closing date of January 31st.
The torrens hearing is set for December 15th but the contractor wants to get
started before the ground freezes.
Attorney Meyers stated that in the past the City has taken proposed deeds used
for conveyance of parcels and executed it along with the amount needed for filing
the deeds. This would guarantee that the parcel mould be conveyed. If this is a
torrens the City cannot file it and will not be able to until after December 15th
or longer. The proper procedure would be to have their attorney prepare proposed
deeds for the City, with a filing fee, and a letter stating that he will deliver
to the City a torrens certificate so the deed can be recorded. It should be
sufficient if the City has the executed deeds and the assurances of their attorney
that he will forward the torrens.
Councilmember Rowley stated that if Attorney Meyers feels he will have control of
this it would be acceptable to her. She explained that she did not want to see
two houses on one lot at a future date. Attorney Meyers stated that before the
building permit is issued the City will have the deed and the attorney's assurances.
