�D Office 0, f Con,ont Agenda 06/19/18 INDIAN RIVER COUNTY ATTORNEY Dylan Reingold, County Attorney William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney Kate Pingolt Cotner, Assistant County Attorney MEMORANDUM TO: Board of County Commissioners FROM: William K. DeBraal, Deputy County Attorney DATE: June 13, 2018 1V SUBJECT: Request for Amended Access. Easement to Datapath Tower, LLC for former Emergency Services Tower You may recall the former County jail property at 1725 17th Street was surplused and divided between the Boys & Girls Club and St. Francis Manor and portions of the property were added to their respective leases with the County. The 150 foot guyed tower at the old jail site was not made part of those leases and remained County property until July 5, 2016, when the Board approved sale of the tower site to Datapath Tower LLC for $175,680.00. At that time, Datapath planned to rehab and update the tower to allow for additional antennae arrays to be co -located on the tower. Since that time, Datapath has changed its plans and has applied to the City of Vero Beach to construct a new monopole tower on the site. No guy wires will be needed for the new tower. The change in plans necessitates four new documents: 1. Since a new tower will be constructed, the footprint of the tower will expand slightly together with the City requirement of a landscape buffer around the base of the tower site. Datapath seeks an additional 10 foot Utility Equipment and Landscape Easement around the existing fence in order to accommodate for additional equipment and compliance with City code. The Utility Equipment and Landscape Easement is attached as Exhibit "A". 2. The proposed new tower will not require guy wires and therefore the property underneath the guy wires is not needed and will be returned to the County by Datapath. The Special Warranty Deed to the County is attached as Exhibit "B". 3. In order to provide for construction of the new tower, Datapath has requested a different access easement. The existing access easement granted to Datapath at closing is not sufficient for maneuvering of heavy equipment during construction of the new tower. The New Access and Parking/Turnaround Easement is attached as Exhibit "C". 4. Finally, the City has requested a formal Utility Easement be recorded as part of the site plan approval process. The existing electric lines that have served the tower have been in the same location for years, but were never described in a recorded easement. The 10 Foot Wide Utility Easement satisfies the City's request for a formal Utility Easement and is attached as Exhibit "D". 119
