BOOK Ili PAGE 138 <br />Although the county does not desire to use the right-of-way for road building purposes, the right-of- <br />way is used for drainage and utility purposes. Therefore, the county Engineering Division is <br />recommending that a drainage and utility easement be retained over the entire right-of-way. For that <br />reason, the Resolution of Abandonment expressly reserves the entire right-of-way as a drainage and <br />utility easement. <br />Per guidelines established by the Board of County Commissioners, this petition was reviewed by all <br />county divisions and utility providers having jurisdiction or potential interests within the right-of- <br />way. All reviewing agencies and departments have recommended approval of the requested <br />abandonment, with the condition that the entire right-of-way be retained as a drainage and utility <br />easement. The subject right-of-way is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County <br />Thoroughfare Plan, and is not needed for the thoroughfare system. Furthermore, the abandonment <br />would not affect the right of convenient access to surrounding properties. Also, the County <br />Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the attached abandonment resolution for legal form <br />and sufficiency. <br />Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners abandon its rights <br />to the subject right-of-way and authorize the chairman to execute the attached abandonment <br />resolution, with the following condition: <br />That the entire right-of-way be retained as a drainage and utility easement. <br />The Chairman opened the public hearing and asked if anyone wished to be heard <br />regarding this matter. There being none, the Chairman closed the public hearing. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board <br />unanimously adopted Resolution 99-119 providing <br />for the closing, abandonment, vacation and <br />discontinuance of a portion of 18' Avenue between <br />37' Street and 37`h Place within the W. E. Geoffrey <br />Subdivision reserving the entire right-of-way as a <br />drainage and utility easement (Mobile Resonance <br />Imaging, Inc.). <br />OCTOBER 26, 1999 <br />• -22- <br />• <br />
