BACKGROUND:

On November 18, 2010, a Conservation Easement was granted to Escambia County from C.R. Campbell, Sr. and Billy Ray Campbell. The Conservation Easement was recorded on December 1, 2010, in Official Records Book 663, Pages 210-216. The Conservation Easement was part of an approved, un-platted subdivision in the Jacks Branch Basin known as Wellington East. Eventually, the development was abandoned and the Development Order expired. The parcel remains undeveloped today.

There are staff concerns regarding wetlands on the property, and any development of the property would need to comply with guidelines for conserving the wetlands and buffer surrounding the wetland area. However, this would be appropriately addressed during the Development Review process.

There are no utility company concerns with this Petition to Vacate.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Indirect staff cost associated with the preparation of documents and recommendation.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

N/A

PERSONNEL:

All work associated with this request is being done in-house and no additional staff is required.
