BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: October 1, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Vacate a portion of alley in Block 53 Port Dixie
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 2
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Michael and Dawn McArdle are petitioning the Board of County
Commissioners to vacate a portion of the East-West alleyway through Block 53 of the Port Dixie
Subdivision in the Shalimar area.
BACKGROUND: Portions of the alleyway (the east 120 feet) through Block 53 were
previously vacated by Resolution 09-43. The McArdles' proposed vacation lies west of the
previous vacated alleyway and measures 20' wide by 95' long. If approved, the McArdles would
receive the north half of the vacated alleyway measuring 10' x 95'. (See attachments for
clarification of the requested vacation.)
A site visit revealed an encroachment into the unopened alleyway due to an existing building. It
appears that an approval of the vacation by the Board would not solve the encroachment issue.
(See attached photos of building and approximate encroachment.)
All normal stipulations of vacated rights-of-way required by the County are requested to be
waived.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove a request for a Public Hearing to vacate said right-of way.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the request for a Public Hearing to be scheduled on October
15, 2013 for the right-of-way vacation request from the McArdles.
