BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: November 20, 2012
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Pocahontas Drive - Crawford Drainage Easement
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 4
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Okaloosa County Road Department recently repaired the failed
drainage pipe located in the north ten feet (10’) of property owned by Ronald and Susan
Crawford. This drainage system collects stormwater from the county road known as Pocahontas
Drive and conveys it to Mills Bayou.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The drainage system lying along the north 10 feet of
property owned by the Crawford’s has been in existence for many years. Based on a search of
the records it has been discovered that this system was installed by the developer of the Colony
Estates Subdivision and an adjacent landowner. A drainage easement was created and recorded
between the respective parties for the infrastructure and the maintenance of which was to be the
developer's responsibility, Valleybrook Developers, Inc.
This drainage system collects and conveys county stormwater from Pocahontas and Alden Road;
however, the county never has officially been granted a drainage easement cover the existing
infrastructure.
During the most recent repair to this drainage system, the staff requested that Mr. Ronald
Crawford grant the Board of County Commissioners a drainage easement to facilitate the future
maintenance of this system.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove acceptance of the Easement
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Easement for recording and acceptance into the County’s
permanent maintenance system.
