Nearing REFERENCES: grand harbor Staff Planner dyM DAVE3 It is requested that ,the data presented herein be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of April 14, 1987. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: Grand Harbor, Inc. has submitted a petition to abandon a 2,650 foot portion of 53rd Street beginning at a point approximately 2,300 feet east of U.S. Highway 1. The petitioner owns all the property surrounding this subject right-of-way. This portion of 53rd Street is entirely within the Grand Harbor project area, east of the proposed Indian River Boulevard North. The applicant has researched ,this portion of 53rd Street to establish the roadway's actual status as a publicly dedicated right-of-way. The search failed to disclose any deeds or other recorded documents establishing this as actual public right-of- way.

Abandonment of this unnecessary portion of 53rd Street would permit development per the proposed plans. Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, the petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having possible jurisdiction within the right-of-way. All reviewing agencies have recommended approval of the abandon- ment. ANALYSIS: This 25 foot wide portion of 53rd Street is currently improved as a marl road. In the past the principal use of the road has been as a grove maintenance road. The County has performed some maintenance; however, no maintenance maps have ever been filed for the subject portion. This 25 foot wide portion of right-of-way is not a part of the roadway system as noted on the County Thorough- fare Plan roadway system and is not needed as part of the thor- oughfare system. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis abandon any rights it 53rd Street, and that sioners be authorized ment #3), performed, staff recommends that the County may have to this 25 foot wide portion of the Chairman of the Board of County Commis - to execute the attached resolution (Attach-
