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, unplatted 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; 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. 
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.
POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

Based on the Board’s Vacating, Abandoning, and Closing Existing Public Streets, Rights-of-Way, Alleyways, Roads, Highways, Other Places Used for Travel or Other Lands Dedicated for Public Use or Purposes, or Any Portions Thereof to Renounce and Disclaim Any Right of the County and The Public In and To Said Lands policy for closing, vacating and abandoning County owned property – Section III and Florida Statutes, Chapter 336.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

Once the Public Hearing has been scheduled, the Petitioner will be notified, the date and time will be advertised, and all owners of property within 1,000 feet will be notified.
