Summary Explanation/Background
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/REAL PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
On June 11, 2019 (Item No. 8), the Board of County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 2019-301, accepting two utility and access easements located at 6601 Southgate Boulevard in the City of Tamarac from the City of Tamarac.
During the construction process, the burrow of a Florida Burrowing Owl was discovered in the easement area. The Florida Burrowing Owl is classified as threatened by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and protected by the federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act. The project was moved to provide a buffer zone for the owl burrow. Approval of this Amended Easement will correct the legal description to match the new installation location.
All documents have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
