HomeMy WebLinkAboutRe EXTERNAL Update to request for the transfer of the property known at the Ridgewood Avenue Extension (3)I understand the city is investigating requirements to divest itself of
the subject property. Ocean Oaks just wants assurance that the action
is moving forward and I think your statement below implies that. How
long do you think it will take for the transfer to be effective? We are
preparing our budget for 2019. Should the transfer become effective in
2019, should I be anticipating/planning for any costs associated with
the transfer?

Gloria,
The City is already investigating the requirements to divest itself of
the subject property. Is there some other consideration Ocean Oaks is
requesting from the city? If so, please be specific about any additional
request.
Thank you,
Todd

Thank you for your reply. My original inquiry to the city was to
ask who is responsible for caring for the lawn, mowing the lawn,
trimming the palm trees, etc. for the land between the sand path and B
Building in Ocean Oaks. My inquiry provoked an in depth comprehensive
study of the land known as the Ridgewood Avenue Extension by Anthony
Garganese. I believe Anthony concluded that the city has responsibility
for taking care of the land. I will go back and read his study again to
be sure but I would like to negotiate consideration for the care that
Ocean Oaks has been providing for the land between the sand path and
the north side of our Building B for many years now. To whom should I
direct such a request? Thank you.

Gloria,
I’m not sure about the relevancy or the point being made
in your email, but I want to provide you an update on the status of this
item.
Based on the detailed research that we prepared and
provided to you, the City is aware that the Northern Ridgewood Avenue
Extension property was conveyed in fee title to the City by the
developer of Ocean Oaks, but that property is encumbered with various
easements. Further, the paved portion the Northern Ridgewood Avenue
Extension is currently serving as a public right of way.
However, City Administration is currently evaluating the
possibility of presenting an agenda item to the City Council, in the
near future, seeking authorization for the City to reconvey all or a
portion of the unpaved portion of the Northern Ridgewood Avenue
Extension to the Ocean Oaks Condominium Association, the successor in
interest to the developer of Ocean Oaks. The evaluation of this
possibility is well under way by City Administration, and it may require
some survey work to establish a new southern boundary line of the
unpaved portion of the Northern Ridgewood Avenue Extension. In
addition, Section 2.12(6) of the City Charter procedurally requires that
the City Council adopt an ordinance to convey any real property interest
to another party. An ordinance requires two hearings before the City
Council including a public hearing. Further, at the appropriate time,
the City will require a formal resolution from the Ocean Oaks Board of
Directors authorizing and agreeing to take title to whatever portion of
the Northern Ridgewood Avenue Extension that the City Council agrees to
convey to the Association, and representing and warranting to the City
that the Association has the authority to take title to said property
for the benefit of its unit owners.
I hope this helps explain the status of this matter at
least from the City’s perspective. Feel free to contact me if you have
any questions.
Regards,
Anthony

Mr. Greene:
Forwarded is an update to my message of August 5, 2018,
regarding transfer of the property known as the Ridgewood Avenue
Extension. Additional information has been discovered on the Brevard
County Official Records website that we believe could make a difference
in your decision to return the property in question to Ocean Oaks
Condominium Association, Inc. For these reasons, we believe Ocean Oaks
has a legitimate claim for the entire 50' wide property arc extending
from the north end of Ridgewood Avenue to the Harbor Heights cul-de-sac.
We look forward to your response.
