IOCT 24J X989 BOOK Chief Planner Stan Boling made the staff presentation: FAut 231 TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator DIVISION HEAD CONCURRENCE: Ro • ert M Kea tifiii Community Developmen 7 Director THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Development Chief, Current FROM: John W. McC Staff Plann r nt Development DATE: September 27, 1989 SUBJECT: ROSELAND VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT REQUEST FOR THE ABANDONMENT OF 80th AVENUE It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of October 24, 1989. LOCATION AND DESCRIPTION: John F. Morrison, on behalf of the Roseland Volunteer Fire Depart- ment, has submitted a petition for the abandonment of a portion of 80th Avenue between 129th Street and 129th -Court. Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners,the petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having y= -jurisdiction within the right-of-way. All reviewing agencies have recommended approval of the abandonment with Utilities and Public Works recommending that approval be granted with conditions that certain easements be retained. fl ANALYSIS: Presently, the 80th Avenue right-of-way is a paper street and unimproved. The applicant has not indicated any future use of the right-of-way, but the abandoned right-of-way could be used for expansion of Fire Department facilities. Even with an easement being retained over the entire right-of-way, the applicant would benefit since the easement could be counted as required setback area, thus increasing the lot's buildable area. The Utilities Department has recommended that an easement be retained for possible future use with the expansion of the North County Regional Wastewater collection system. Public Works has recommended that the entre right-of-way be retained as a drainage easement because the St. John's Water Management District will require additional stormwater retention when area roads are paved. Given the property ownership characteristics of the area, there is a potential for the interior lots of block 28 to be land -locked if this right-of-way is abandoned. Currently lots 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 10 are owned by the Fire Department,and lots 4, 5, 6, 7 are owned by another party. The owners will both need to execute unity title forms for their respective lots prior to the abandonment being recorded to ensure frontage (on other existing roads) for these parcels. The County staff, as of yet, has been unable to contact the owner of the adjacent lots to see if he would consent to executing a unity of title. The resolution should not be executed unless the adjacent lot owner executes the unity of title form. 18
