Keati g, #1CP Planning & Development Director FROM' Karen M. Craver Req/R. Meeks • Staff Planner REFERENCES: DIS : KAREN It is requested that the data consideration by the Board regular meeting of March 21, DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: herein presented be given formal of County Commissioners at their - 1984. On December 5, 1983, Ronald Meeks submitted a right-of-way abandonment petition to.the Planning and Development Division. The petition requests that the County abandon .its 'rights to that portion of 5th Street lying west of 38th Avenue within Unit 1 of Cleemann Estates Subdivision. . 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 divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction within the roadway. Florida Power & Light and Southern Bell approved the request with the condition that the County retain two 10 foot wide utility easements. The easements will be established at the western and the northern 10 feet of the right-of-way proposed for abandonment. All County divisions contacted approved the request. ANALYSIS: Ronald Meeks owns the 2 lots immediately north of and the 2 lots immediately south of the 5th Street right-of-way. The petitioner desires the abandonment in order to connect the 4 lots and develop the property as one parcel. Southern Bell currently has underground cable along the north right-of-way of 5th Street and approved the request with the condition that Mr. Meeks agree to incur the cost of stringing the cable overhead. Maintenance of, the overhead cable is the reason for the establishment of the 10 foot easement along the northern edge of the right-of-way. The petitioner has agreed to the condi- tional approval of Southern Bell. The 70 foot wide right-of-way was dedicated to the County on a plat recorded in 1953 and has not been utilized to this date. Stub -outs, such as this portion of 5th Street, are created to provide for future interconnection with adjacent land parcels. However, in March of 1981, Bentwood Terrace was platted for development on the adjacent parcel and designed with a single cul-de-sac, thereby eliminating the need for the 5th Street stub -out. 11 Box 56 PnEE'456
