to deny d north of C.R.1510apply to any segment of Old Dixie, including the subject segment • Summary If approved, the proposed abandonment would eliminate historical public road right- of-way, would remove a convenient southbound bypass to the U.S. 1/C.R. 510 intersection, and would alter secondary access to the rear of the property owned by the Fenders. The Fenders object to such changes. To address concerns that Public Works and Traffic Engmeenng have about the impacts of granting the request, the applicant proposes a right-of-way swap and physical traffic improvements. Because the Board cannot place conditions on any abandonment action (it can only reserve rights it already has such as retaining easements over the existing right-of-way), the swap and improvements cannot be guaranteed as mitigation for the abandonment action unless such actions are covered under a yet -to -be prepared contract For these reasons, planning staff cannot support the request. If the Board wishes to approve the abandonment and guarantee that certain conditions will be met then the Board would need to indicate that it supports defer action until a contract executed by the applicant is a aable,ea d direct the County's Attorney's Office to prepare a contract agreement that provides guarantees for the right-of-way swap and traffic improvement items. Thus, the formal abandonment decision would need to be postponed to a time when the `contract' issues have already been addressed. In the event that the Board decides to approve the abandonment request without any contract arrangement, a resolution which has been approved by the Attorneys Office is attached. That resolution, if adopted, would abandon the subject segment Old Dixie Highway and retain a drainage and utility easement on the right-of-way area Old requested by the utility providers and reviewing departments. as RECOMMENDATION: Based on the analysis, staff recommends that the Board of County Cornjssioners deny the request to abandon its rights to the subject right-of-way.
