Background Information:
Survey for design of the Fisher Road Roadway and Drainage Improvements (Project ID 004913A), revealed areas of right-of-way for which written conveyances were not found. Pinellas County has regularly maintained and/or repaired the limits of roadway as shown on the attached Specific Purpose Survey of Maintained Right-of-Way of Fisher Road from north of Elcid Court to County Road 39 for at least the immediate past seven (7) years. The property labeled as maintained right-of-way on said survey has been vested in Pinellas County, pursuant to the provisions of Section 95.361, Florida Statutes. The deed lines for the adjacent property owners to the County maintained right-of-way extend into the existing roadway pavement and/or the deeds less road right-of-way but provide no clear dimensions.
