| RECOMMENDATION: |
Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of a Public Hearing to Consider the Petition to Vacate a Portion of Hillview Drive - Joy D. Blackmon, P.E., Public Works Department Director
That the Board schedule a Public Hearing for December 10, 2015, at 5:32 p.m., to consider the Petition to Vacate a portion of Hillview Drive, (80 feet x 239.87 feet = 19,189.60 square feet or approximately 0.44 acres), as petitioned by ACTS Retirement-Life Communities, Inc. |
| BACKGROUND: |
The Petitioner owns property on both sides on the easternmost portion of Hillview Drive. Hillview Drive is a paved, county-maintained road (80' R/W). The portion of Hillview Drive requested to be vacated consists of 80' x 239.87' = 19,189.60 square feet or approximately 0.44 acres, and serves as an entrance road into the ACTS Retirement Complex. The Petitioner has plans to construct an entrance guard house on the vacated portion of Hillview Drive for security purposes.
The Petitioner is requesting that the Board vacate any interest the county has in this portion of Hillview Drive.
Staff has made no representations to the Petitioner or the Petitioners' agent that Board approval of this request operates to confirm the vesting or return of title of the land to the Petitioner or to any other interested party.
There are utilities located within the area requested to be vacated, so a utility easement will need to be retained over the entire length and width of the vacated portion, with the understanding that the county will not be responsible for maintenance of the easement. No one will be denied access to his or her property as a result of this vacation. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
