ROBERT NEELEY, et al. <tTHROUGH: Bob Keating, AICP Planning & Zoning Dept. Manager FROM: Mary Jane V. Goetzfried, REFERENCES: Staff Planner _ It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting on April 6, 1983. DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS On December 22, 1982, Mr. Robert Neeley representing himself and others, submitted a petition requesting the County to abandon its rights to a portion of 3rd Street, lying between 17th and 18th Avenues as shown on the plat of Indian River Heights Subdivision, Unit 3 (see attachment #2). In accordance with the administrative guidelines approved by the Board of County Commissioners for the processing of right-of-way abandonment applications, the request was reviewed by all County departments and utility providers having jurisdiction within the roadway. In the past-, the road has been maintained by the County. The 70' right-of-way does not provide adequate access nor is it essential to the traffic flow through the subdivision. In an effort to eliminate non -perpendicular lot lines and thereby creating more uniform shaped lots, the four adjacent property owners a4reed to an equitable division of the 3rd Street right-of-way. Each new lot line will lie within a dedicated 20' drainage and utility easement (see attachment #3). It was this proposal that was considered by the reviewing agencies, which included the Department of Public Works, Utilities, Florida Power & Light, and Southern Bell. All responses recommended approval of the request with the condition that drainage and utility easements be retained. If the right-of-way is abandoned, it shall be the responsibility of the property owners to obtain feesimple title to the land as originally agreed upon. This may be accomplished through the recording of the appropriate quit claim deeds. The plat of Indian River Heights subdivision depicts 3rd Street curving to the southeast and ultimately merging with 2nd Street east of 18th Avenue.. Upon the recommendation of the Director of Public Works, -staff is currently reviewing the feasibility of also abandoning the eastern portion of this roadway. ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS Vacation of this non-essential roadway will eliminate the County's 48 aax 53 4`cE 160 APR 6 1983
