Who owns Palomino Road?

There appears to be some discussion about the ownership of the end of Palomino road. It is my understanding that a land owner is claiming the end of Palomino is a private drive. What I find interesting is that the city claims they do not know who owns the end of the street . From what I understand of our city history, at one time there was a bridge that crossed the creek (before the hurricane of 1943) at Palomino road. Sure doesn’t sound private to me. Then there is the traffic master plan in the early eighties that shows Palomino road as relief value for north south traffic. How could that be if it is a private street? Then when there was the big discussion about Clear Springs HS during which there was never any discussion about the end of Palomino being a private road. So when did this happen? There is nothing in the city records that indicate that the land or right of way was abandoned so “where’s the beef” (as Clara Peller would say) Only after the owner of the land that borders Clear Creek at the end of Palomino decided to use their property as a bed and breakfast did this claim come up by their neighbor. So what is this all about? The right of ways and the road on palomino, as well as other areas of the city, are assets and may be used for future improvements to enhance our city’s quality of life. Let’s do the legal research and find out the truth. Use our tax dollars for flooding problems not for fighting a claim in court.
