APR 6 1983 need to maintain the dedicated street and at the same time relieve the County of any potential liability. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the County abandon its rights to that portion of 3rd Street lying between 17th & 18th Avenues as shown on the plat of Indian River Heights Subdivision, Unit 3 and authorize the Chairman of the County Commission to execute the Resolution in Attachment 5. Mary Jane Goetzfried, Planning & Zoning Department, explained the past history of this right-of-way. Using.a subdivision plat, she pointed out that the road does not lend itself to good traffic patterns through the subdivision and staff recommended that this right-of-way be abandoned. Commissioner Wodtke asked if the owner of lot #1 shown on the plat map would acquire what would be the equivalent to 161 foot frontage and could that owner split that lot and build a home on it. Bruce King, Director of Planning & Zoning, explained that a minimum lot frontage is 75 feet in that zoning district and the owner could subdivide. However, there is a provision about further subdividing of lots within existing platted subdivisions. Attorney Paull stated that in order to subdivide this ,particular lot, the owner would have to comply with the"very last revision of the subdivision ordinance which requires that division of any lots in a recorded subdivision have to be in a manner that they are not creating any lots that are smaller than or inconsistent with.the surrounding building .;.x nr.� r.si:s��_ ,,��x4:, :, n"'°g0 &i.�„"»v'L"` sites. If that owner was going to split that lot andcreate a lot that is compatible with what is already there, he could do so without recording a new plat or anything of that nature. Commissioner Wodtke felt that in this particular case, it certainly would be a windfall of considerable value, and perhaps there is a way the County could be compensated. 49 �J
