Staff Planner \\X�� \ DIS:KAREN It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of June 6, 1984. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: The residents of 40th Avenue between 12th and 14th Streets have petitioned the Indian River County Commission to establish a Special Assessment District for the purpose of providing a cul-de-sac on 40th Avenue, south of 14th Street. The bound- aries of the Special District shall include all properties abutting 40th Avenue extending north from 12th Street to 14th Street; platted as Phyl-Ann Terrace Subdivision. The petition for the creation of the District has been submitted in conjunc- tion with a request for conceptual approval of the abandonment of approximately 65 feet of 40th Avenue right-of-way, between the southern right-of-way line of 14th Street and the proposed cul-de-sac. A formal public hearing regarding the abandonment will be held after construction drawings of the cul-de-sac are designed and an exact legal description of the area to be abandoned can be ascertained. Conceptual approval of the abandonment is necessary to warrant the production of con- struction drawings by the County Engineering Department. The design $rawings will also determine the construction costs and thereby provide for the establishment of the Special District assessment roll. The property owners have requested that the assessment be on a "per lot basis". The property owners wish to convert the subject portion of 40th Avenue into a dead end cul-de-sac for various reasons. 40th Avenue currently provides a direct connection between 12th Street and the commercial areas along State Road 60. Such a connection leads to a higher traffic volume and speed in excess of that which is reasonably expected for an interior subdivi- 46
