Currently, the 12th Street right-of-way width along the proposed Unit Five frontage is only 50 feet. An additional 50 feet of right-of-way is needed to bring this segment of 12th Street into conformance with the Thoroughfare Plan, Comprehensive Plan and the subdivision ordinance. All 50 feet of the additional right-of-way needs to come from the north side of 12th Street, because the right-of-way is bounded to the south by a 30 foot wide Indian River Farms Drainaqe District canal right-of-way. The existence and location of the canal and right-of-way is, in effect, a barrier to acquiring future additional right-of-way to the south. In these situations, it is currently the county's policy to add right-of-way from the north side of the street. A workshop, at which the fairness of present right-of-way dedication policy and alternatives are to be studied and considered, has not yet been scheduled. Staff, and the applicant, are still in favor of having the Board withhold final action on this appeal until after a workshop has been held. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners continue the hearing of this appeal to a time after a right-of-way workshop has been held. It was noted that the first hearing was advertised for June 26th and continued at that time until today, and Planner Boling reported that staff would like to continue it once again to December 11th. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone present wished to be heard. There were none. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously (4-0) agreed to continue the public hearing on appeal of the condition attached to the preliminary plat approval of Old Sugar Mill Estates, Unit 5, to December 11, 1985.
