Submitted By: Clyde Cuffy, Public Works
Strategic Plan Link: The City’s Mission to be responsive to our community.
Summary Brief: Culpepper & Terpening, Inc., on behalf of the property owner, is requesting to abandon portions of the access and utility easement.
Presentation Information: N/A
Staff Recommendation: Move that the Council approve the Ordinance abandoning portions of the access and utility easements located at Gatlin Plaza.
Alternate Recommendations:
1. Move that the Council amend the recommendation and approve the Ordinance abandoning portions of the access and utility easements located at Gatlin Plaza.
2. Move that the Council not approve the abandonment and provide staff direction.
Background: The real property located at Gatlin Plaza contains access and utility easements within the parking lot at Floors & Décor. A portion of the easement was re-directed during construction of the Floors & Décor store; therefore, the owner desires to abandon the portion of easement area that is no longer needed as described in Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance. Culpepper & Terpening, Inc., the Engineer of Record, has submitted a request for the abandonment on behalf of the property owner.
Issues/Analysis: The request to abandon portions of the access and utility easements was evaluated by the Public Works Department and Utility Systems Department. This utility easement is exclusive to PSLUSD; therefore, no Public Utility Companies (AT&T, FPL, Comcast, and Florida City Gas) will be affected by this abandonment. The City Departments have no objection to the abandonment of portions of the access and utility easement.
Financial Information: There will be no cost incurred by the City.
Special Consideration: N/A
Location of Project: The property is located at Gatlin Plaza, 2260 SW Gatlin Blvd.
