The applicant is requesting that this segment of right-of-way be abandoned to assemble the property <br />for redevelopment purposes. If abandoned, the right-of-way area will be added to the adjacent <br />commercially zoned property north and south of the right-of-way centerline. The surrounding land <br />was the subject of a recent rezoning request, wherein the Board granted Graves Brothers, Inc.'s <br />request to rezone the surrounding properties from CH (Heavy Commercial) and OCR (Office, <br />Commercial, Residential) to CG, General Commercial. <br />The Board is now to consider the request to abandon the subject segment of 84th Place. <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The subject 84th Place right-of-way segment was created via the Graves Addition to Wabasso <br />Subdivision which was recorded in 1939. That right-of-way was developed as an unpaved "dirt <br />road" that was used to access single family homes that were constructed along this section of road. <br />The applicant has acquired all of the homes and lots on the north and south side of 84th Place and has <br />executed and recorded a unity of title for these lots. Thus, the lots have been combined into two large <br />parcels, separated by the existing 84th Place right-of-way, that have frontage on Old Dixie Highway <br />and U.S. 1 Therefore, the properties adjacent to 84th place will still have adequate road frontage if <br />the 84th Place road right-of-way is abandoned as requested. <br />The applicant proposes commercial redevelopment of the area, and the requested right-of-way <br />abandonment will facilitate redevelopment of one large site that will consist of several combined lots <br />and the subject right-of-way area. Redevelopment plans are not a part of this request but will be <br />reviewed under a separate application via the county's site plan process. <br />The subject right-of-way is not part of the roadway system as noted on the County Thoroughfare <br />Plan, and is not needed for the thoroughfare system. The county does not desire to use the right-of- <br />way for road building purposes, and the right-of-way is no longer needed to serve individual lots. <br />Thus the abandonment would not affect the right of convenient access to surrounding properties. <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 no conditions. Thus the proposed abandonment resolution does not contain any <br />reservation of easements. Also, the County Attorney's Office has reviewed and approved the <br />attached abandonment resolution for legal form and sufficiency. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners abandon its rights <br />to the subject 84th Place right-of-way and authorize the chaiiriian to execute the attached <br />abandonment resolution. <br />AUGUST 20, 2002 <br />24 <br />41 <br />
