T0: James E. Chandler <br />County Administrator <br />DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: <br />Robert M. Kea ing AICP <br />Community De elo ent Director <br />THROUGH: Stan Boling42 CP <br />Chief, Current Development <br />FROM: John W. McCoy <br />Staff Planner, urrent Development <br />DATE: July 21, 1989 <br />SUBJECT: ORCHID ISLAND ASSOCIATE'S REQUEST FOR RIGHT-OF-WAY <br />ABANDONMENT <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular <br />meeting of August 1, 1989. <br />LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: <br />Bruce Barkett, Esquire, on behalf of Orchid Island Associates, has <br />submitted a petition for abandonment of an unnamed "paper street" <br />right-of-way now lying within the Town of Orchid. The subject <br />uncleared and unimproved right-of-way is approximately 550' north <br />of the Spring Place Subdivision. The right-of-way runs approxi- <br />mately 900' west from S.R. A.I.A. and connects to the existing <br />portion of Jungle Trail that runs through the Orchid development. <br />Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, <br />the petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility <br />providers having jurisdiction within the right-of-way. <br />This application was originally scheduled and advertised for the <br />February 1, 1989 Board of County Commissioners meeting; however, <br />the applicant withdrew the application from consideration until <br />the Jungle Trail re -alignment issue had been resolved. The <br />applicant has now re -activated the application and has agreed in <br />writing to pay all costs of necessary readvertising. <br />Three county departments recommended denial during the initial <br />(January/February 1989) review process; however, the applicant has <br />now addressed the concerns of these departments. These <br />departments are now recommending approval of the requested <br />abandonment with certain conditions specified at the end of this <br />report. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The subject right-of-way was established to connect Jungle Trail <br />to S.R. A.I.A. in the general area. Prior to the establishment of <br />the subject right-of-way, a right-of-way had been located about <br />800' to the north of the subject right-of-way (see attachment #2). <br />This northern right-of-way was swapped for the subject <br />right-of-way when the northern right-of-way was abandoned in 1983 <br />in conjunction with a development proposal. A letter of credit <br />was posted to guarantee construction of the new road. The subject <br />right-of-way was created via a right-of-way swap, to provide <br />41 <br />A U G 11989 <br />ri'�f4-30 <br />
