[Funding:  Fund 352, “LOST III,” Cost Center 210107, Object Codes 56101/56301, Project #14EN2592, “Innerarity Point Drainage”]
BACKGROUND:
Escambia County has a project in design to make stormwater drainage improvements in the Linn Avenue and Water Spray Terrace area located off Innerarity Point Road. Design indicated the need for a Drainage Easement along the south and east property lines of property located at 5900 Water Spray Terrace. The owners of the property, David A. and Vicki L. Barnes, have agreed to the donation of the 20-foot-wide Drainage Easement. Board approval is required for the Board's acceptance of the donated Drainage Easement. Currently, the project is under construction on Linn Avenue.

This Drainage Easement was previously approved by the Board on April 29, 2014. However, due to a scrivener's error (south versus north right of way line), discovered during the sale of an adjoining property, the easement was vacated at the April 23, 2015, Board meeting. Board action will approve the corrected easement language so that the project can move forward.  
BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for construction of this project are available in Fund 352, “LOST III,” Cost Center 210107, Object Codes 56101/56301, Project #14EN2592, “Innerarity Point Drainage”. Funds for the recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by Escambia County Clerk's Office.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:
The Drainage Easement has been approved as to form and legal sufficiency by the County Attorney's Office. However, neither the legal description nor the title have been reviewed.
PERSONNEL:
All work associated with this request is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
These actions are consistent with the provisions of Section 46-139, Escambia County Code of Ordinances.
IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:
Upon Board approval, staff will proceed in compliance with Section 46-139 of the County Codes.
