Eggert <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />1840 25th Street <br />Vero Beach, F1 32960 <br />Re. Closure of 22nd Street. <br />". Dear Commissioner Eggert: <br />A <br />ta526Pieg, <br />Ici UEC l e88 <br />nr-cellrro w <br />COM^RtSSIr Set0f1 ��C <br />MMNEMS <br />4et ItO' <br />LOOT 75 FAu.5 S <br />Attorney <br />Personnel <br />Public Works <br />Community Dev. <br />Utilities <br />Finance <br />December 2011e4988 <br />Your letter to Mayor Macht re the closure of 22nd Street has been referred to <br />my office for response.' <br />I regret that an immediate response is not possible. Our procedures for street <br />abandonment are as follows: <br />1. The applicant fills out an application for Abandonment of Right -of -Way <br />and pays the.appropriate fee. In this instance, the fee will be waived. <br />I will process the application based on your letter.to the Mayor, unless <br />I hear an objection_•from you to this methodology. <br />2. The application will be routed through each department head, Southern <br />Bell TAT and Florida Cablevision for comments and/or objections. When <br />this procedure is complete, if there are no obstacles, the matter is <br />placed before the City Council for approval and a Public Hearing. <br />If there are objections/obstacles, a meeting is scheduled with the <br />applicant in an attempt to resolve the problem areas. If this cannot <br />be done, the request is denied at the Staff level unless the applicant <br />appeals to•Council. <br />Most of the City streets are held in trust. not fee simple. Thus, if a street <br />ceases to function as a public right-of-way, itwould be considered abandoned <br />and the title to the right-of-way would revert to the abutting property owners <br />on each side of the street. <br />I believe permanent closure would constitute an abandonment and thus would re- <br />quire treatment as such. I will refer this question to the City Attorney for <br />a ruling. <br />In the interim, we will proceed to process your request. <br />Very truly yo fzs, <br />JVL:emo <br />cc: City Attorney, Mayor Macht, Walter Young <br />E.
