Okaloosa County BOCC — April 7, 2015 — Hugo Lane right-of-way easement acceptance — agenda request

BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AGENDA REQUEST DATE: April 7, 2015 TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board FROM: Jason Autrey SUBJECT: Hugo Lane right-of-way easement acceptance DEPARTMENT: Public Works BCC DISTRICT: 1 STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Acceptance of a new turnaround area with a 100’ x 100’ right-of- way easement at the south end of Hugo Lane. BACKGROUND: Plans for Camille Subdivision, a residential subdivision located near the south end of Hugo Lane were approved by the City of Crestview on 7/8/13. Hugo Lane is a County maintained roadway with no existing right-of-way. The previous turnaround area at the south end of Hugo Lane was encroaching on Lots 4 and 5, Block B, of Camille Subdivision. The developer (Mr. Paul Cassady), after coordination with Public Works, has constructed a new turnaround area at his expense and executed a right-of-way easement to contain the new turnaround area. The new turnaround area is now located (north of Lots 4 and 5) in another parcel adjoining the east side of Hugo Lane which is also owned by Mr. Cassady. The subdivision being constructed by Mr. Cassady will not have direct access to Hugo Lane; therefore there will be no additional traffic to the roadway. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove. RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve and record the 100’ x 100’ right of way easement and accept the new turnaround area to enter into the County’s permanent maintenance system. RECOMMENDED BY: APPROVED BY: John Hofstad, County Administrator
