Summary Explanation/Background
THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND GROWTH MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT AND THE PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Planning and Development Management Division has received a request to vacate a variable width drainage easement located along the north limits of Parcel A, a 20-foot drainage easement located along the north limits of Parcel D, and a 15-foot canal maintenance easement and a 50-foot canal easement located along the east limits of Parcels B, C and D, all lying within the Young World Plat, as recorded in Plat Book 124, Page 43 of the Public Records of Broward County and is generally located on the east side of University Drive between Southwest 30 Street and Southwest 35 Street in the Town of Davie. Vacating these easements will provide clear and unencumbered title to the property owner.
The Town of Davie adopted Resolution No. R 2018-064 on February 21, 2018 granting approval of the abandonment and vacation of the easements. Review of this application by the applicable reviewing agencies indicates that there is no objection to the abandonment and vacation of the subject easements.
This vacation application has been reviewed and approved to form by the Office of the County Attorney (Exhibit 1).
In the event Executive Order 20-69 is not extended by the Governor, staff will revise the public notice accordingly before placing an advertisement for the December 1, 2020 hearing. See Exhibit 3 for the Public Notice.
