BACKGROUND:

Copper Forest Estates is a platted subdivision located off Pine Forest Road and was recorded in Plat Book 13 Page 46 in 1989. Lot 8, Block "C", was platted as a private retention pond for the subdivision. In October 1991, Escambia County accepted the ponds in Copper Forest Estates and the Copper Forest Estates First Addition Pond.

Lift Station 94 already existed on Lot 8, Block "C" when the County accepted the retention pond. ECUA is now requesting an easement to legally access their lift station.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

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

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The Utility Easement 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 and execution of the documents by the Chairman, staff will transfer the documents to ECUA for acceptance and recording in the public records of Escambia County, Florida. County staff will continue to coordinate with ECUA in meeting their requirements.
