Existing public roads or alleys that abut or pass through a ROW parcel need to be examined closely to determine the record of title. Record title should be shown on the ROW map and parcel plats. If no record can be located, a note should be added stating the existing ROW shown was determined by occupation. If included in the adjacent landowner's deed, the existing ROW should be included in the parcel area but cannot be included for payment. For existing roadway areas which do not appear in any conveyance to a public entity or adjacent property owner, a quitclaim deed or a District Engineer affidavit from the public entity occupying the facility should be obtained and filed with the County Clerk.
