ANALYSIS: Consistent with guidelines established by the BCC, this petition was reviewed by all County divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction or potential interests within the subject right-of- way. Upon review, the County Public Works Department advised that there are existing 25 foot wide drainage and utility easements that run along the rear of all lots within the subdivision, and those easements were dedicated to the County. Therefore, the Public Works Department recommends that a 25 foot wide drainage and utility easement be retained along the west 25 feet of the subject right- of-way (to align with the existing rear lot easements), and a 25 foot wide drainage and utility easement be retained along the north 25 feet of the subject right-of-way in order to provide access from the subdivision road (391h Court SW) to the rear lot easements. Also upon review, the County Department of Utility Services advised that there is an existing water main located along the north end of the subject right-of-way, and that the proposed 25 foot wide drainage and utility easement requested by Public Works will also provide sufficient easement protection over the existing water main. Therefore, the County Department of Utility Services concurs with retaining a 25 foot wide drainage and utility easement along the north 25 feet of the subject right-of-way. Lastly, Florida Power & Light (FPL) and Comcast advised that they have utility improvements located along the front 10 feet of all lots within the subdivision, and recommend that a 10 foot wide drainage and utility easement be retained along the east 10 feet of the subject right-of-way. All recommended easements have been included in the proposed abandonment resolution (see attachment 4). All other County divisions and jurisdictional agencies have reviewed and approved the proposed abandonment without conditions. The subject right-of-way is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County Thoroughfare Plan, and is not needed for the thoroughfare system. Furthermore, the abandonment will not affect the right of convenient access to any surrounding properties. It should be noted that the subject right- of-way has been improved with asphalt pavement and the above -referenced water main (see attachment 3), and the applicants do not intend to remove any of the existing improvements or close access to the existing improvements. The County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the attached abandonment resolution for legal form and sufficiency. RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis provided in staff's report, staff recommends that the Board abandon its rights to the subject right-of-way and authorize the chairman to execute the proposed abandonment resolution, with the following conditions, as addressed in the proposed abandonment resolution: 1. A 25 foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be retained along the west end of the subject right-of-way. 2. A 25 foot wide drainage and utility easement shall be retained along the north end of the subject right-of-way. 156 2
