INGRESS AND EGRESS EASEMENT REQUEST — 806 BANYAN ROAD — WILLIAM STEELE The Board reviewed a Memorandum of August 19, 1997: Date: August 19,1997 To: Honorable Board of County Commissioners Tbru: James E. Chandler County Administrator From: H.T. "Sonny" Dean, Director ,-J f Department of General Services Subject: Ingress and Egress Easement Request - 906 Banyan Road BACKGROUND: The subject property is owned by W. William Steele, located on the comer of Banyan Road and the old right-of-way for Eagle Drive. The house was constructed in 1969 and faces to the west or the old Eagle Drive ProPertY• gently his garage is on the north end of the house and a paved drive -way extends out into the old right-of-way. At the time of construction an easement to use this property for ingress and egress was not required since it was public right-of-way. Earlier this year the County changed the designation of the old Eagle Drive public right-of-way to County owned property. This was to allow sale of the property to a private owner which has already been accomplished with two parcels of this real property. Mr. Steele has been using the right-of-way for ingress and egress to his home. He now wants to move his existing drive -way from the north end of the house to the south end and obtain an easement on County Property the entire length of his property or 140 feet. According to Mr. Steele, the purpose of this change is to relocate his garage from along Banyan Road. He did not indicate whether or not an addition to his home is pending during a meeting with this writer. Now the designation of Eagle Drive properties has changed from public right-of-way, an easement to use that property is legally required ANALYSIS: Staff feels Mr. Steele is entitled to use of County property to access his home, since it was constructed facing a proposed street in 1969. A legal easement would be in order to insure his proper and continued use. However, it is questionable as to whether or not an easement the entire length of the Steele property in order. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that Mr. Steel provide the County with a legal document stipulating his proposed use for this requested easement along with a drawing of what, if any, construction is intended within the County property. Also an understanding that any future construction within this easement be authorized by the Board prior to the building permit process. SEPTEMBER 9, 1997
