Street right-of-way is not paved and not needed for access to any properties. Access to lots to the north and south of this segment of 11' Street right-of-way is from Commerce Avenue. Although the county does not desire to use the right-of-way for road building purposes, the right-of- way could still be used for future drainage and utility purposes. Therefore, the county Engineering Division is recommending that a 30' wide drainage and utility easement be retained over the middle 30' portion of the 60' wide right-of-way segment. The easement will run east/west and will be centered within the boundaries of the existing right-of-way. For that reason, the Resolution of Abandonment expressly reserves a 30' wide drainage and utility easement. Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, this petition was reviewed by all county divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction or potential interests within the right-of- way. All reviewing agencies and departments have recommended approval of the requested abandonment, with the condition that a 30' wide easement for utilities and drainage be reserved 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 would not affect the right of convenient access to surrounding properties. Also, the County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the attached abandonment resolution for legal form and sufficiency. Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners abandon its rights to the subject right-of-way and authorize the chairman to execute the attached abandonment resolution, with the following condition: 1. That a 30' wide drainage and utility easement be reserved and that the said easement is to be created within the boundaries of the subject right-of-way and run in an east/west direction. The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard in this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. ON MOTION by Commissioner Stanbridge, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board unanimously adopted Resolution 99-107 providing for the closing, abandonment, vacation and discontinuance of a portion of 11' Street west of Commerce Avenue and east of the FEC Railroad between Lot 14, Block 2 and Lot 1, Block 3 in the Rosedale Gardens Subdivision and reserving a 20' drainage and utility easement centered in the abandoned right-of-way.
