Comment: The final plat of Ruppert Hills Subdivision was approved by
Council in May, 2003. In connection with the final plat, the City was
granted sufficient pedestrian and vehicular access easements through
the properly. To clear up a title objection and complete the subsequent
sale of the property from the Ruppert family to RayCal, Iowa Ltd., they
have requested that the City disclaim any interest in the above-
referenced strip of property that was described as an "alley" in an 1848
plat. Because this property was never appropriately dedicated to the
City, the City has never acknowledged or used it as public property, the
Ruppert family has paid taxes on the piece of property since at least
1925, and the Rupperts granted to the City all necessary property
interests in connection with the final plat of Ruppert Hills, Staff
