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 15-foot utility easement and 100-foot access easement lying within Parcel 1 of Jacaranda Parcel 817, as recorded in Plat Book 143, Page 1, and release a variable width sidewalk easement, as recorded in Official Records Book 27781, Page 213, both of the Public Records of Broward County and that are located at 8021 Peters Road in the City of Plantation. Vacating these easements will provide clear and unencumbered title to the property owner.
The City of Plantation adopted Resolution No. 12236 on March 9, 2016 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 as 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 before the December 1, 2020 hearing. See Exhibit 3 for the Public Notice.
