BACKGROUND: Plans for the TownePlace Suites Hotel project were approved on 3/12/13. The plans include the proposed construction of a right turn lane at the project entrance (off SR 89/Eglin Parkway) in order to mitigate the project’s traffic operational impact and enhance the safety of access to proposed and future developments. Due to a major and unexpected conflict with an existing sewer force main in the proposed right turn lane location, the construction of the right turn lane was delayed until the existing force main is relocated. The hotel project has been completed (with a temporary driveway connection installed) and a six-month temporary certificate of occupancy (TCO) has been issued with a condition that the developer will relocate the existing sewer force main and construct the proposed right turn lane, at their expense, within six (6) months from the issuance of the TCO. A performance bond in the amount of $100,000 payable to Okaloosa County BCC was provided by the developer to serve as a guarantee for the construction of the above improvements. OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove the developer’s request. RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve acceptance of Performance Bond #20BSBGP5944 issued by Hartford Fire Insurance Company on July 25, 2014 in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) as a guarantee for the relocation of the existing sewer force main and construction of the proposed right turn lane.

Is petitioning the Board of County Commissioners to vacate a portion of Bullock Blvd. Mr. Rose has purchased several tracts of land which are accessed by this right-of-way to be vacated. If vacation is approved, Mr. Rose intends to acquire the vacated right-of-way from the adjacent landowners and use the right-of-way as a privately maintained access to a single family development. BACKGROUND: In February of 1968, Mr. Bill E. Boone and Reba Boone, husband and wife, granted the Board of County Commissioners a strip of right-of-way by warranty deed as recorded in the Official Records at Book 475, Page 343. This right-of-way is 42 feet in width and 154 feet in length. The purpose for the right-of-way was to provide access to property at 502 Bullock Blvd., which was a new home at the time of the right-of-way acquisition in 1968. This Bullock Blvd spur was paved sometime in the past and this led to encroachment of pavement outside the boundaries of the right-of-way. Mr. Stephen Rose now owns the property located at the south end of Bullock Blvd spur and his desire is to vacate this right-of-way and transform it into a private access to his future development. Mr. Rose intends to relocate the roadway so that it lies within the limits of right-of- way as a part of his development order to construct a single family residence subdivision. Mr. Rose was made aware that vacated right-of-way is divided down the centerline and added to the adjacent and contiguous properties lying along either side of the vacated right-of-way. The acquisition of the vacated right-of-way will be Mr. Rose responsibility after the vacation process. Mr. Rose is preparing the necessary instruments to acquire the vacated right-of-way from the adjacent landowners so that he can build an access entrance to his development. Since the posting of the public notice for both this vacation request and the notice of intent to issue the development order, Growth Management has received notice from five nearby residents objecting to the overall project. Two concerns were expressed solely by telephone call and three requests included a follow up written objection (attached hereto). Concern regarding the development is focused on an increase in traffic and safety related to an existing bend in the roadway leading to the area of the vacation request. One letter mentions the specific objection to the vacation directly as well as the proposed future use plan. The request to vacate from the petitioner is directly related to the proposed development. OPTIONS: Mr. Stephen Rose, president of Okaloosa Walton Development Company, has Packet Pg. 662 requested via e-mail to have his vacation request be rescinded at this time. RECOMMENDATIONS: Public Works recommends that the Board rescind this action as requested. However, the recommendation from Public Works staff, if moved forward, would have been to not grant the vacation.
