Subject:
Set Public Hearing for Vacation of Public Road Easement
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution No. 7849, a resolution setting the public hearing date to consider the vacation of public roadway easement located north of CR 72, west of Marschall Road and south of Eaglewood Drive.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the Council adopt the attached resolution setting a public hearing date for the vacation of public roadway easement located north of CR 72, west of Marschall Road and south of Eaglewood Drive.
Discussion:
The SMSC own property located north of CR 72, west of Marschall Road and south of Eaglewood Drive. An easement was granted to the City in 1977 pursuant to Document No. 157910 for a road, which was never constructed. There are no plans for this road to be constructed, nor support from the County to provide access to Marschall Road/CR 17 in that location; therefore, they have asked that this easement be vacated. City staff support this vacation, with conditions that a new roadway easement from Eaglewood Drive to 160th Street/CR 72 be dedicated. The attached Resolution No. 7849 sets a public hearing date to consider the vacation of the easement.

The attached resolution sets a public hearing for Tuesday, April 18, 2017. On that date, comments from staff members and utilities, as well as a recommendation from the Planning Commission, will be presented to the City Council for consideration. The Planning Commission will consider the request at its April 6, 2017 meeting.
