TO: James E. Chandler County Administrator N HEAD CON THROUGH: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: M. Keating, AI Community Development irectot ./1t) Stan Boling, AICP Planning Director John W. McCoy, AICP t.k Senior Planner, Current Development August 29, 2000 Pine Tree Park Lake Property Owners' Association Request for Right -of -Way Abandonment for a Portion of 6th Street and 7th Street in Pine Tree Park It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of September 5, 2000. DEVELOPMENT AND LOCATION: The Pine Tree Park Lake Property Owners' Association has submitted an application for the abandonment of a portion of 6th Street and 7th Street. The two segments proposed for abandonment run east and west and dead end into an existing lake that is located immediately west of the Pine Tree Park subdivision (see attachment #2). These right-of-way segments have been developed as dirt roads providing access to Pine Tree Park lots that are adjacent to the lake. The applicant is requesting that the right-of-way segments be abandoned to eliminate public access to the lake. According to the applicant, people are presently gaining access to the lake via these right-of-way segments and are then trespassing on the lakefront owners lots. If abandoned, the rights-of-way would become part of the adjoining Pine Tree Park lots and could be used for private access to those lots. The Board is now to consider the abandonment request. ANALYSIS: The existing rights-of-way were created via the 1953 plat of Pine Tree Park units 1 and 2. These rights-of-way were created to provide access to the adjoining Pine Tree Park lots and were arranged to extend to the area west of Pine Tree Park. Since the area was platted, a lake was created on the majority of the property west of the subject rights-of-way. That area west of the rights-of-way is now part of the Laurel Springs PD project. As approved, that project will preserve the lake as is. Since the lake will remain, the subject rights-of-way are not needed for access to the west of Pine Tree Park. To address the issue of access to Pine Tree Park lots that abut the subject right-of-way segments, each of the owners of property abutting the segments have combined their lots under their respective ownership, through the unity of title process, so that now there is only one ownership parcel on each side (north and south) of the subject right-of-way segments (see attachment #2). Therefore, the right-of-way segments are not necessary for access to the west nor for access to abutting lots. September 5, 2000 52 BK 1 114 PG 786 • •
