TO: James E. Chandler - County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: 410,14Z., 'o•ert M. Keatin:, A Community Develo•men Director 43 THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Chief, Current Development FROM: John W. McCoy (/' Staff Planner, Current Development DATE: February 7, 1989 SUBJECT: ERNEST & DAISY TERRY'S REQUEST TO ABANDON A PORTION OF 68TH PLACE It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of March 7, 1989. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: Ernest and Daisy Terry have submitted a petition for the abandonment of that portion of 68th Place (Palm Avenue) which borders lots 4, 5, 6, Block 3 and lots 17, 18, 19, Block 2 of the Quay Subdivision. This portion of right-of-way is located between U.S. #1 and Old Dixie Highway, but does not provide access through to U.S. #1 (the area east of the subject right-of-way was originally part of the Quay Subdivision, but has since been vacated) . Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, the petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction within the right-of-way. All reviewing agencies have recommended approval of the abandonment, with the provision that a 12' utilities and drainage easement be retained. The 12' easement will be over the north 12' of the subject right-of-way. This portion of 68th Place is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County Thoroughfare Plan, and is not needed for the thoroughfare system. This portion of 68th Place is unpaved and is currently used for access to the lots which have frontage. These lots are owned by the applicant, who has obtained a rezoning on these properties from RM -6 to OCR. The applicant has filed a unity of title form, which will ensure a unified development of these properties. The County Attorney's office has confirmed that the Unity of Title (see attachment #4) is sufficient to ensure that all lots adjacent. to the subject right-of-way are now one parcel that cannot be re -divided without County approval. Thus, approval of the abandonment would not deny convenient access to this unified parcel: access would still be available where 68th Place would "dead-end" into the parcel. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the County abandon its rights to this portion of 68th Place, and that the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners be authorized to execute theattached resolution (Attachment #3) with the following condition: 1. That a 12' utility and drainage easement be retained over the north 12' of the subjedt right-of-way. 17 BOOK 76 rArd 3I6 WAR 1 1989
