Summary:
The purpose of the request is to vacate right-of-way that currently bisects the Petitioner’s properties. The Petitioner owns the properties abutting the east and west sides of the right-of-way. The Petitioner desires to improve the right-of-way for vehicle parking and to retain the gate securing the property.
Background Information:
The previous objections related to access to existing infrastructure in the right-of-way are addressed through the utility and drainage easement. The objection related to future use of the right-of-way as a transportation corridor was removed based on staff’s consideration for other viable future alternatives.
A drainage and utility easement will be retained over the vacated area should the vacation be approved.
Letters of no objection were received from Bright House, Duke Energy, Frontier, TECO Electric, TECO Gas and WOW!
The petition was properly advertised in accordance with §336, Florida State Statutes. 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.
Fiscal Impact:
$750.00 has been received for this request.
