MAY 2 3 1984 BOOK 5`7 PAA61, In addition to the customary reviewing agencies, the Director of Public Works reviewed the abandonment request. Mr. Davis considered the request in relation to the characteristics of the area west of the subject site as well as the alignment of Jungle Trail. The tracts to the west are of varying size, 4 to 80 acres, and have little or no road frontage. Any existing frontage is primarily on Jungle Trail and that is inadequate for future use beyond serving minor traffic. Due to the fact that these surrounding parcels have a residential land use designation and will likely be developed as such, it is recommended that the County not abandon the 35 foot wide right-of-way, but request an additional 25 foot width south of the existing right-of-way for future road use. The right-of-way and existing road provide the only connection between Jungle Trail and A -1-A, north of C.R. 510. It is preferable, in the event of development of future parcels, that this existing connection be utilized because of the efficient "T" intersection. RECOMMENDATION The Planning staff recommends that the petition for right-of- way abandonment submitted by North Beach Associates be denied. Administrator Wright explained that the County would like to have some specific language whereby North Beach Associates could abandon the right-of-way as long as they satisfy the requirements of the two existing utilities. They intend to move the roads down to the southern edge of the property, donate 25 feet, pave the road and work out an agreement to satisfy the utilities. Commissioner Bird understood then that the County will be giving up the 35 feet in the middle and picking up 60 feet on the southern extremity, and North Beach Associates will put the road through. The County Attorney noted that the 25 feet excess over the 35 feet will be included in the gross dimensions of their site plan when calculating density, but not the entire 60 feet. He believed the applicant has agreed to build the road at their expense within a 3 -year period, and if their site plan is approved, start construction concurrently with their site plan. They will also back that up with a performance bond that will cover the costs of the roadway improvement inflated for a 3 -year period. In the event the road is not built at the end of three years, the County will call down the bond and build the road. 42
