Summary Explanation/Background

PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/REAL PROPERTY AND REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.

 

Broward County (“County”) is the owner of an approximately 7,638 square feet parcel of real property identified by Folio Number 4842-18-01-0212, designated for use as a right-of-way, street or road, and located at Lyons Road in the City of Coconut Creek (the “Parcel”).  The Broward County Property Appraiser currently assesses the Parcel’s just/market value at $3,900.  The Parcel is zoned “Road” under the City of Coconut Creek’s zoning codes.  The Parcel is not suitable for development, is deemed unbuildable and is of use to only one or more adjacent property owners due to its size, shape, location, and value.

 

The County acquired the Parcel (and additional contiguous real property) by an Order of Taking recorded December 8, 1986 in Official Records Book 13966, Page 480, and Quit Claim Deed recorded December 28, 1990 in Official Records Book 18026, Page 796, all of the Official Records of Broward County, Florida.

 

The Parcel was originally intended to be used as a right turn lane, but the roadway for the right turn lane was never constructed, which has resulted in a dead-end.  The Parcel includes a sidewalk, and a storm drain curb inlet.  The County will require that the purchaser of the Parcel grant to the County, simultaneously at the time of closing of the sale, easements for the sidewalk and storm drain curb inlet.

 

All applicable Broward County agencies were solicited for potential County sale of this Parcel and there was no objection to the sale.

 

Pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 125.35(2), "…when the board of county commissioners finds that the value of a parcel of real property is $15,000 or less, as determined by a fee appraiser designated by the board or as determined by the county property appraiser, and when, due to the size, shape, location, and value of the parcel, it is determined by the board that the parcel is of use only to one or more adjacent property owners, the board may effect a private sale of the parcel.  The board may, after sending notice of its intended action to owners of adjacent property by certified mail, effect a sale and conveyance of the parcel at private sale without receiving bids or publishing notice; however, if, within 10 working days after receiving such mailed notice, two or more owners of adjacent property notify the board of their desire to purchase the parcel, the board shall accept sealed bids for the parcel from such property owners and may convey such parcel to the highest bidder or may reject all offers.”

 

All documents included herein have been reviewed and approved as to form by the Office of the County Attorney.
