PINTSj <br />DIRECTOR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />• "'STAFFED AND HARRY E. ASHER <br />PREPARED BY: ASSISTANT*DIREC OR OF UTILITY SERVICES <br />"SUBJECT: SIX-INCH WASTEWATER TRANSMISSION LINE ON ABANDONED <br />16TH STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AFFECTING LOUIS SCHLITT <br />PROPERTY ON INDIAN RIVER BOULEVARD <br />BACKGROUND: _ <br />-The Department of Utility Services was requested _to investigate the <br />;status of -the sewer facilities location on the above -referenced <br />property. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />Upon completion of the Indian River Boulevard Wastewater Force Main, <br />the above -referenced six-inch force main was permanently removed <br />from service. The line can be abandoned permanently with the <br />installation of a plug valve and cap. <br />COMMENDATIO <br />The staff of the Department of Utility Services requests release of <br />any interest in the easement. <br />Commissioner Scurlock thought that as a part of releasing this <br />easement Mr. Schlitt had agreed to work with the County staff in <br />terms of replanting in the areas where exotic plants were removed. <br />Mr. Chandler recalled no agreement by Mr. Schlitt to <br />accelerate his landscaping plans. <br />Attorney Vitunac explained that the City of Vero Beach had <br />abandoned any interest they might have in this easement and we are <br />not sure we had an easement but the title company needs this <br />release to clear the title. Attorney Vitunac explained that an <br />easement like this is generally released at the request of the <br />owner. <br />Director Pinto explained that actually Mr. Schlitt had asked <br />the County to remove the sewer line from his property. That sewer <br />line is not in service and we have no interest in it. It is to be <br />capped at each end. <br />Commissioner Scurlock thought we should request Mr. Schlitt to <br />replant in the areas where trees were removed because the removal <br />of the trees had affected many citizens in the County and this <br />could be a method of improving that situation. <br />Chairman Bird felt there was no relationship between planting <br />trees and releasing an easement, and Attorney Vitunac agreed. <br />92 <br />
