AUG 31 1989 800K. 77 538 The Board reviewed the following memo dated 7/18/89: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Robert M. Keatin , Airyw Community Develo men t irector THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Chief, Current Development FROM: John W. McCoy 4 � Staff Planner,�urrent Development DATE: July 18, 1989 SUBJECT: John Fountain's request for right-of-way abandonment It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of August 8, 1989. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: John Fountain has submitted a petition for the abandonment of 92nd .=Court and 21st Street (both "paper streets") in the Paradise Park subdivision near the I-95/S.R. 60 interchange.. 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 the entire right-of-way areas for both roads be retained as a drainage- utilities easement. Neither of these right-of-way portions are part of the roadway system as noted on the County _Thoroughfare Plan, and neither are needed for the thoroughfare system. ANALYSIS: As shown on attachment #2, 92nd Court separates the subdivided lots in block R and S of Paradise Park from a 4 acre (unsubdivid- ed) tract to the east. The applicant owns all of block R and the 4 acre tract to the east. The areas containing Blocks P, S, 0 & R are accessed off of S.R. 60 by a 60' wide FDOT service road right-of-way which parallels S.R. 60 and the I-95 access ramp and which connects into the 92nd Drive right-of-way. FDOT has verified that this service road right-of-way is available for access; this service road is not affected by the abandonment request. The applicant's stated purpose for the abandonment is to consoli- date block R and his 4 acre tract to the east in order to enhance development opportunities. The staff agrees that a large consol- idated tract of land is more viable in a commercial land use category, than the small lots platted within Paradise Park; approval of the request will allow such a consolidation. However, the staff feels it is prudent to retain the right-of-ways as drainage and utility easements, until a plan has been submitted for development. At that time alternate provisions can be made for drainage and utilities if necessary. 16
