BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 3, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Request to Vacate of a Portion of Railroad St Blk 9 Oakdale Mini Farms
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 1
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Mr. Richard P. Peterman, agent for Anchors, Smith and Grimsley,
on behalf of their client, Gary McMorrow, is petitioning the Board of County Commissioners to
vacate that portion of unopened Railroad Street bounded on the east by Lot 2, Block 9, Oakdale
Miniature Farms, as recorded Plat Book 1, Page 129, of the Official Records of Okaloosa
County, Florida and bounded on the west by right-of-way owned by the city of Crestview
(Industrial Drive).
BACKGROUND: The Oakdale Miniature Farms Subdivision was platted in October of 1946.
The right-of-way in question was recorded as R. R. Street as part of the Oakdale Miniature
Farms subdivision in Plat Book 1, Page 129, but improvements were never constructed. The
requested right-of-way vacation is 44.29 feet wide on the south end and 49.35 feet wide on the
north end, north to south distance is approximately 216 feet (see attached survey).
If the vacation request is approved the vacated land granted to the applicant's parcel will be
improved in association with development of the parcel. Public Works received a letter
requesting the vacation of the unimproved R. R. Street right-of-way be made without any of the
standard conditions that limit the use of the vacated right-of-way; except that a utility easement
may remain in the westerly ten feet of the vacated right-of-way to protect any utility company
that may have infrastructure in place.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve for a Public Hearing to be scheduled for July 1, 2014 as
requested.
