DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
The original Construction, Maintenance and Easement Agreement for the Winding Oaks Development was recorded in Official Records Book 6728, Page 1044, and applied to the larger development property. Since that time, the developer has conveyed portions of the property to several entities, including Marion County, the City of Ocala, and the School Board of Marion County. However, the original Agreement was not updated to reflect these conveyances, leaving the properties subject to the recorded Agreement.
The developer is now requesting a title cleanup to remove these unnecessary encumbrances and reflect the current property ownership. The amended Agreement will establish shared access, utility easements, and maintenance responsibilities between DRJ Land Company, LLC, and Marion Automotive Management, LLC, while releasing the County and other unrelated property owners from the original Agreement.
Marion County's participation is limited to executing a Joinder and Consent to release County-owned property from the original Agreement. No new easements, maintenance responsibilities, or financial obligations are being imposed on the County.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Motion to approve the Release and Amendment and Restatement of Construction, Maintenance and Easement Agreement for the Winding Oaks Development and authorize the Chairman and Clerk to execute the County's Joinder and Consent.
