RIGHT-OF-WAY ACCEPTANCE - WH URELD SID IN WABASSO The Board reviewed a Memorandum of March 8, 1995: TO: James E. Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E.,, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Right -of -Way Acceptance - Whitfield Subdivision in Wabasso DATE: March 8, 1995 FILE: WHITF.AGN DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS To qualify for the Community Development Block Grant to pave roads and install water lines in Wabasso, the County must have clear ownership of the rights -of -ways in the Whitfield Subdivision (an unrecorded subdivision north of CR510 between 66th Avenue and 64th Avenue). Mrs. Habakkuk Whitfield and her husband (now deceased) originally developed the area. Mrs. Whitfield, owner of the right- of-ways, is willing to quit claim deed the right-of-ways to the County for maintenance. Since the roads currently need grading and stabilized material, she is requesting that interim maintenance be provided until the grant is hopefully approved and the roads paved. ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS The approximately one mile of right-of-way for the various streets (86th Lane, 86th Place, 66th Avenue, 65th Drive, 65th Court, 64th Drive, 64th Court, and 64th Avenue - all in Wabasso) meets the 50' wide minimum criteria and are near the County grader routes. There is strong community support for the County assuming maintenance. RECOM4ENDATIONS AND FUNDING It is recommended that the Board accept ownership and maintenance of the roads in Whitfield Subdivision and authorize staff to record the quit claim deed. MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Eggert, to accept ownership and maintenance of the roads in Whitfield Subdivision and authorized staff to record the quit claim deed, as recommended in the memorandum. Under discussion, Commissioner Eggert asked if this should be a conditional acceptance in case the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) doesn't go through. 73 March 14, 1995 BOOK 94 FFar 6
