The Planning and Development Management Division has received a request to vacate two 10-foot utility easements on the perimeter of Parcel A of Alexander Hamilton National Bank Plat No. 1, as recorded in Plat Book 107, Page 36 of the Public Records of Broward County and is generally located on the east side of South State Road 7, between Southwest 13 Street and West McNab Road, in the City of North Lauderdale.

Review of this application by the applicable reviewing agencies indicates that there is no objection to the abandonment and vacation of the subject easements.
