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