Okaloosa County BOCC — April 21, 2015 — Letter of request to vacate

January 7, 2015 The Honorable Carolyn Ketchel Okaloosa County Commissioner - District 2 1804 Lewis Turner Boulevard, Suite 100 Fort Walton Beach, Florida 32547 RE: Request for Right-of-way Vacation Scallop Court — Okaloosa Island Dear Commissioner Ketchel, This letter has been written to request the vacation of a portion of the right-of-way located along Scallop Court on Okaloosa Island. This road Is terminates at a cul-de-sac that historically served as the entrance to the Coquina Isle Condominium. If single family homes were built as originally platted, the cul-de-sac and right-of-way would have purpose. However, over time, the development landscape of Okaloosa Island changed and higher density projects were constructed, leaving no purpose for these cul-de-sacs. I have attached aerial photographs showing the original configuration of the right-of-way and the condominium. The old Coquina Isle condominium and infrastructure has been demolished and removed. A new condominium project is currently being planned for this property. Vacation of the right-of-way will allow for improved property geometry and access to the Coquina Isle property, which will result in an enhanced project site plan. Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. If you have any questions regarding this letter and request, please call me at 850-259-1522, Sincerely, O Edwin L. Stanford, P.E. ‘ O R E 3997 Commons Drive W, = Suite F » Destin, Florida 32541 = P 850.650.2646 » F 850.837.1576
