BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: June 17, 2014
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: John Hofstad
SUBJECT: Bullock Blvd vacation request
DEPARTMENT: Public Works
BCC DISTRICT: 5
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Stephen Rose of Okaloosa Walton Development Co, requests 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.
OPTIONS: Approve/Disapprove to schedule a Public Hearing to vacate right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Approve the request to schedule a Public Hearing to vacate the
above mentioned right-of-way to be held July 15, 2014.
