BACKGROUND:

The Ciano Family Partnership, LLLP, owns property at 8684 Beulah Road (at the southeast corner of Beulah Road and West Nine Mile Road) and has agreed to donate 8,715 square feet (approximately 0.20 acres) for additional right-of-way along Beulah Road. The Partnership is currently in negotiations to sell the property to Publix. However, as part of their Sales Agreement, Publix is to obtain a Development Order.

Publix submitted a site plan for review through the Development Review Committee (DRC). Additional right-of-way is required per the Land Development Code (LDC 5-5.3(e)) and Design Standards Manual (DSM 2-1.1) to encompass the drainage and infrastructure improvements proposed along Beulah Road. The Ciano Family Partnership, LLLP, has agreed to donate a portion of their property (8,715 square feet) for the additional right-of-way.

The proposed donation meets the requirements that are set forth by Escambia County's LDC/DSM. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) is aware of the proposed site plan submitted by Publix. The developer for Publix is aware of future FDOT plans for Beulah Road. If the donation is accepted by the County, the LDC requirement will be met and Publix will be able to move forward with obtaining their Development Order through the DRC.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funds for incidental expenses associated with the recording of documents are available in an Engineering Escrow Account accessed by the Escambia County Clerk's Office.
