TO The Honorable Members of �Ai"E: October 15, 1986 FILE: the Board of County Commissioners DIVISION HEAD' CONCURRENCE: RIGHT-OF-WAY ABANDONMENT Robert M. KeatinT.t AICP SUBJECT: SUBMITTED BY MR. AND MRS. Planning & Development Director WILLIAM FREEMAN THROUGH: Michael K Miller M R M Chief, Current Development- FROM: evelopment FROM: David C. Nearing REFERENCES: Freeman Staff Planner DAVE3 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of October 28, 1986. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Mr. and Mrs. William Freeman have submitted a right-of-way aban- donment petition requesting that the County abandon that portion of 21st Street located between 53rd and 54th Avenues north of S.R. 60. That applicant is requesting this abandonment due to the fact that this portion of right-of-way has not been improved in any way. The petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction within the right-of-way, as per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners for processing right-of-way abandonment *applications. All reviewing agencies, which included the Public Works Division, the Utilities Division, Florida Power and Light and Southern Bell, recommended approval of the petition for abandonment. However, the County Public Works and Utilities Departments as well as several other utility providers have requested that the south 37.5 feet of this parcel proposed for abandonment be granted to the County as a drainage and utilities easement. The petitioners are in agreement with the request. ANALYSIS The 50 ft. wide unimproved right-of-way is not part of the roadway system noted on the County Thoroughfare Plan, and its need as such is not anticipated. Because this area is already substantially built -out and the need for this portion of 21st Street has not arisen, it is staff's opinion that the County has no use for the -property, and does not ever foresee its use. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the County abandon its rights to the 50 foot wide portion of 21st Street right-of-way, with the exception of the requested drainage and utilities easement, and authorize the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to execute the attached resolution (Attachment #3). The Chairman asked if anyone present wished to be heard. - There were none. I 48eoo� �6 Fn -248 OCT 8
