PUBLIC HEARINGS  
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS  
4.  
Petition of Mikhail A. Fokin, Zilya Ruga, Hugo E. Gonzalez, Rosemary  
Craig Gonzalez, Kimble McNeal, and Mary McNeal to vacate the  
50-foot-wide right-of-way of Palmetto Avenue lying east of Elm Street and  
west of Church Street and also the 10-foot-wide alley lying east of and  
adjacent to Lots 6 through 10, Block 2 and west of and adjacent to Lots 1  
through 5, Block 2, all being a part of Jackson Park Subdivision, Plat  
Book 4, Page 1, lying in Section 33-28-16, Pinellas County, Florida.  
(Legislative Hearing)  
Granting the petition to vacate of the 10-foot-wide alley and further continuation of the  
denial of the petition to vacate a 50-foot-wide right-of-way of Palmetto Avenue.  
However, if the Palmetto Avenue vacation is granted, adopt the attached resolution  
pursuant to 336, Florida State Statutes.  
Recommendation:  
* The petitioners are requesting to vacate a 50-foot-wide right-of-way and also a  
10-foot-wide alley adjacent to the property located at 728 Elm Street, Safety Harbor.  
* The petitioners are requesting the vacation to a.) allow for an increase in property  
size, b.) avoid the need to improve Palmetto Avenue, and c.) remain within  
unincorporated Pinellas County (i.e., not annex into Safety Harbor).  
* County staff initially recommend denial of the vacation request for Palmetto Avenue  
because the right-of-way provides the ability to improve stormwater drainage for the  
surrounding area, provides connectivity to Church Street, and maintains the opportunity  
for future infrastructure improvements. The current recommendation is to continue this  
matter to a future date to allow County staff, City staff and the applicants the ability to  
meet and confer in an effort to address several outstanding project related design  
issues (i.e., access, fire prevention, and utilities).  
* The County and City's position is the petitioner's property can be developed without  
the need to vacate Palmetto Avenue.  
* The 50-foot-wide right-of-way of Palmetto Avenue and also the 10-foot-wide alley are  
being evaluated for transfer from Pinellas County to the City of Safety Harbor (City) for  
municipal purposes.  
* The County does not object to the vacation of the 10-foot-wide alley.The City  
communicated objections to the Palmetto vacation based on the following County code  
provisions: it would create a "need for easements for public utilities...to be retained or  
relocated," it "would cause a substantial detrimental effect upon or substantially impair  
or deny access to any lot of record," it "would adversely impact the existing roadway  
network," and "there is a present or future need for the right-of-way" as there is a  
project planned to expand water and sewer services in the area.  
Authorize the Clerk of the Circuit Court to record the resolution in the public records of  
Pinellas County.

Members of the public wishing to make comments on the virtual platform or by phone must preregister by 5  
p.m. the day before the meeting. At the scheduled section of the meeting when the item is before the Board of  
County Commissioners (Board), the Chairman or Clerk will call on each individual, one by one, to be heard.  
Each individual may speak for up to three minutes as may be modified by the Chairman. Comments or  
behavior that violate Pinellas County Commission Public Participation and Decorum Rules will be  
disconnected. Members of the public who cannot attend at the time an agenda item is before the Board may

available at www.pinellascounty.org/BCC_Participation.htm or by calling (727) 464-4400.  
Public Hearing Procedures  
The procedure used by the Board in conducting Public Hearings is to have a staff presentation followed by the  
applicant presenting the specific proposal. The Board will then hear comments from the proponents, the  
opponents and a staff summary. The applicant will then be given an opportunity to close and the Board will  
decide on the matter. Public Hearings before the Board are governed by the provisions of Section 134 -14 of  
the Pinellas County Land Development Code as may be modified by Pinellas County Emergency Order. That  
code provides that at the conclusion of each person’s presentation, any speaker may seek the Chairman’s  
permission to ask questions of staff.  
Specifically:  
1. At the conclusion of the presentations by the applicant and any proponents, all affected parties may  
seek the Chairman’s permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from the applicant and/or the  
proponents.  
2. At the conclusion of the presentation by the opponents, all affected parties may seek the Chairman’s  
permission to ask questions of or seek clarification from any opponent.  
The applicant’s closing comments will address testimony subsequent to his or her presentation. Continuing  
rebuttal of other than directly preceding testimony will not be allowed. Because much testimony has already  
been submitted in writing, the following guidelines accommodate efficient presentations:  
1. The applicant should present his or her entire case, including rebuttal, in no more than 20 minutes.  
2. Persons wishing to speak regarding a Public Hearing item may speak for up to three minutes each.  
3. Persons wishing to attend virtually must preregister at pinellascounty.org/comment by 5 p. m. the day  
before the meeting.  
Appeals  
Persons are advised that, if they decided to appeal any decision made at this meeting/hearing, they will need  
a record of the proceeding, and, for such purposes, they may need to ensure that a verbatim record of the  
proceeding is made, which includes the testimony and evidence upon which the appeal is to be based.  
If a Board meeting beginning at 9:30 A.M. has not concluded by noon, a recess will be taken from noon to  
12:30 P.M., and the remainder of the meeting will continue at 12:30 P.M.  
If a Board meeting beginning at 2:00 P.M. has not concluded by 5:30 P.M., a recess will be taken from 5:30 to  
6:00 P.M. The remainder of the afternoon agenda will resume at 6:00 P.M., followed by Public Hearings.
