RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Conveyance of a License to the Florida Department of Transportation for a West Fairfield Drive Stormwater Repair and Improvement Project - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the conveyance of a License to access County property to the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for their stormwater repair and improvement project on West Fairfield Drive:

A. Approve granting a License to access County property to FDOT for their stormwater repair and improvement project on West Fairfield Drive and 61st Avenue; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to execute the License and all other documents related to this conveyance without further action of the Board.

[Funding: All costs associated with accepting and recording of documents will be borne by FDOT]

BACKGROUND:

FDOT has a project designed to make repairs and improvements to an FDOT-maintained stormwater drainage system north of West Fairfield Drive, west of 61st Avenue. The system consists of a ditch and related pipes and structures which were considerably damaged by the recent rain and flooding event. The ditch, via a drainage easement, bisects a County parcel identified as a park and drainage easement in Parish Heights Subdivision. FDOT is requesting the license to allow FDOT personnel to access and improve the County property lying immediately adjacent to but outside the easement boundaries.

Staff has reviewed this request and has no objection to the granting of the license, deciding that granting the conveyance of this license will have no adverse impact to the County's use of this property.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

All costs associated with accepting and recording of documents will be borne by FDOT.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The license was approved as to form and legal sufficiency by Stephen West, Senior Assistant County Attorney.

PERSONNEL:

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

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

N/A

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

Upon Board approval, Staff will provide the license to FDOT after it is signed by the Chairman.
