Council Minutes of 9-3-2019 of Conveyance. These are three vacant unbuildable lots north of Elmhurst. They sit amongst several dozen paper lots, some of which have already been incorporated into the Cleveland Metroparks. The City acquired these lots through a county tax foreclosure and this Ordinance will gift the lots to the parks. Moving forward the Metroparks will have the mechanism in place to get the properties directly from the County Land Bank. After some questions about possible land swaps and discussions regarding efforts by the Director of Planning & Development and Councilman Schumann to secure a previously promised Lorain Road trailhead, the committee voted to recommend to Council 3-0.
