Summary:
The purpose of this request is to vacate and remove the unopened platted right-of-way between Tracts I and II so that the parcels become marketable together.
Background Information:
The estate owns the referenced real property near Lake Tarpon through which runs an unnamed, unopened platted right-of-way along the south boundary of Tract I and the north boundary of Tract II. In order for the estate to market the property for sale, the unused right-of-way that lies between the tracts needs to be vacated. The existing drainage easements running north/south along the west boundaries will remain unchanged if the vacation is approved. The Petitioners will have access to the property from Old Keystone Road.
County departments were queried and have no objection to the vacation request.
Letters of no objection were received from Bright House, Department of Transportation, Duke Energy, Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Frontier, Pinellas County Utilities Engineering, TECO Electric, TECO Gas and WOW! The petition was properly advertised in accordance with Florida State Statute 336. Pursuant to the Real Property Division Procedures, notice was mailed by the Clerk of the Court to property owners within two hundred feet of the subject property and two yard signs were placed on the property. The Deputy Clerk will report to the Board any citizen support or opposition.

$750.00 has been received for this request
