Planning Director Stan Boling reviewed a Memorandum dated July 10, 1997: TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator D=ION D CONCURRENCE: i Robert M. Keating AI Community Development 7irector THROUGH: Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director FROM: John W. McCoy, AICP �W Senior Planner, Current Development DATE: July 10, 1997 SUBJECT: Marquis Corp.'s Request for an Abandonment of a Portion of 94th Avenue It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of July 22, 1997. The Marquis Corp. has submitted a petition for the abandonment of 94th Avenue adjacent to Lots 4 and 5, Block A, Vero Tropical Garden Unit 1. This portion of 94th Avenue is located at the northwest corner of the I-95/SR 60 interchange and dead -ends in the right-of- way for I-95 (see attachment #2). The portion of the right-of-way proposed for abandonment is roughly triangular in shape. The applicant is requesting that this portion of right-of-way be abandoned, since the right-of-way will not be used for roadway purposes. If abandoned, the right-of-way area will be added to adjacent commercially zoned property owned by the applicant and will become developable commercial property. The Board is now to consider the abandonment request. ANAT.V Q T, The existing 70' wide 94th Avenue right-of-way was created via the 1957 plat of Vero Tropical Gardens. Subsequently, I-95 was constructed over part of Vero Tropical Gardens and truncated the right-of-way for 94th Avenue at an angle, forming a triangular shaped piece of right-of-way with a notched base (see attachment #3). Based on the shape of the right-of-way and the fact that it dead -ends into I-95 right-of-way, staff's position is that the subject segment of 94th Avenue is not useable as road right-of-way and does not fulfill the intention for which it was originally platted. According to the County Attorney's Office, any platted right-of-way that the county abandons is conveyed to adjacent property owners. In this instance, the small portion east of the centerline would go to the FDOT if the county abandons its interest. The applicant could then pursue acquisition of such land from the FDOT. 22 JULY 22, 1997 r � �
