| RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of a Public Hearing to Consider the Petition to Vacate a Portion of Pine Road in Treasure Hill Park Subdivision - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board authorize the scheduling of a Public Hearing for February 19, 2015, at 5:31 p.m., to consider the Petition to Vacate a portion of Pine Road (50 feet x 490 feet) in Treasure Hill Park Subdivision, as petitioned by Rebecca M. Domeier. |
| BACKGROUND: |
Petitioner owns property abutting a portion of the south right-of-way line of Pine Road (50' R/W), as shown on the plat of Treasure Hill Park Subdivision, recorded in Plat Deed Book 102 at Page 286 of the public records of Escambia County.
Pine Road is an unimproved right-of-way, with considerable overgrowth consisting of pine trees and bushes. The portion of Pine Road requested to be vacated extends east to west from Cambria Drive to Avon Road (approximately 490'). The property abutting the north right-of-way line of this portion of Pine Road is a County park. Staff discussed this request with the County Parks Department and the Director was in favor of that portion of Pine Road being vacated, since the entrance to the park is from the north side off Beckstrom Road and the Pine Road right-of-way area is being utilized for some dumping and other activities not conducive to a park facility. Petitioner is requesting that the Board vacate any interest the County has in this portion of Pine Road (50' x 490') as shown on the plat of said Treasure Hill Park Subdivision.
Engineering staff and concerned utility companies have reviewed this request and are requesting that a utility easement be retained over the length and width of the area to be vacated, with the understanding that the County will not be responsible for future maintenance of the easement area. No one will be denied access to his or her property as a result of this vacation. |

| Indirect staff cost associated with the preparation of documents and recommendation. |
| LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF: |
