Body
Requested Agenda Item Description: Salt Lake County owns several parcels of property in an area of Kearns Metro Township known as Camp Kearns. After World War II, Camp Kearns was sold to commercial interests; the roads in Camp Kearns, remained unimproved. Much of the area where the roads are located was eventually struck to the County at tax sale. In 2017, the County entered discussions with all of the property owners adjacent to the roads in Camp Kearns to discuss improving the roads. The County and the Camp Kearns Owners entered into a Road Dedication Plat Agreement to dedicate and designate the roads as public rights-of-way and to grant permission for the construction of roads within the right of way funded by the County to improve the roads within Camp Kerns. The Agreement, the County constructed the roads and prepared the Camp Kearns Road Dedication Plat. The Plat was approved by the Kearns Metro Township Planning Commission on April 28, 2021, and the Plat was recorded with the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office on May 3, 2021, as Entry No. 13650698, Book 2021, Page 107. Wallgren Investment, LLC own property at 5213 West Lightning Ln., Kearns, Utah 84118, In the Agreement, the County acknowledged that the County may retain property interest outside of the platted right-of-way that could be transferred to the nearest adjacent and connected property to owner. After the improvement of the roads and the recording of the Plat, there is a portion of property owned by the County between the Owners’ property and the public’s right-of-way. The Remainder Property has little or no practical value to the County. In addition, the conveyance of the Remainder Property will clarify ownership of land adjacent to the right-of way, provide mutual benefit to the citizens of the County and Kearns Metro Township for better access, eliminate further financial outlay by the County to maintain the Remainder Property, and return to the tax rolls. No other consideration shall be required from the Owners. To effectuate the transfer of the Remainder Property, they entered into a Remainder Property Purchase Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit “1”.
