Prepared by: Burl/son A. Gentry Registered Florida Surveyor and Mapper No. 2580 TO: DAVID T. HARDEN, CITY MANAGER THRU: DIANE DOMINGUEZ, DIRECTOR OF PLA~INING AND ZONI~'~ SUBJECT: MEETING OF JANUARYS, 1999 CONSENT AGENDA* ABANDONMENT OF QUEENS AVENUE LYING ON THE EAST SIDE OF WALLACE DRIVE, NORTH OF LINTON BOULEVARD AND ACCEPTANCE OF REPLACEMENT EASEMENTS The request involves abandoning the remaining portion of Queens Avenue lying on the east side of Wallace Drive, north of Linton Boulevard and the dedication of replacement easements to cover existing utilities. The right-of-way is unpaved, however contains water and sewer mains as well as utility services for Florida Power and Light. The abandonment area abuts asingle family residence to the north and auto dealerships (Wallace Ford, Wallace Nissan and Wallace Dodge) and their attendant parking areas to the east, south and west. The right-of-way is currently used by the applicant (owner of the single family residence) to access the rear of the property. The applicant intends to construct a driveway/parking area within the vacated area which will be accessed via Wallace Drive. Wallace Nissan Dealership to the south also uses the road to park automobiles and access the adjacent dealership parking area. It is noted that this access point is not approved as part of the dealership's plan and that several approved access driveways exist throughout the dealership site. At its meeting of July 20, 1998, the Planning and Zoning Board considered the request at a public hearing. At the meeting four citizens spoke on the abandonment, the applicant in support and Michael Weiner, John Weber and Dan Wilde representing Wallace Dodge, requested that the Board postponed the item as the application (survey) was incomplete. On a unanimous vote (7 to 0), the Board recommended approval, subject to the provision of a revised survey showing all existing utilities and the dedication of replacement easements to cover the existing utilities. The applicant has revised the survey and has addressed all technical comments.

Water Service... .................... n/a Sewer Service ...................... n/a V.F. The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on a proposed abandonment of the remaining portion of the Queens Avenue right-of-way. The subject right-of-way is located on the east side of Wallace Drive and north of Linton Boulevard. This right-of-way abandonment is being processed pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(0), Abandonment of Rights-of-Way. Queens Avenue was dedicated with the recordation of the Sands O' Sea Subdivision in 1946. On October 24, 1989 the City Commission considered a site plan for Wallace Dodge dealership which included the abandonment of 744' of Queens Avenue. At its meeting of October 16, 1989 the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval of the abandonment subject to a replat of the Wallace holdings. A plat was not submitted to the City Commission therefore the abandonment was never consummated. In 1992 a site plan was submitted for the expansion of the Wallace Dealership. At its meeting of January 27, 1993 the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board approved the site plan subject to the approval of the abandonment of Queens Avenue and processing of a plat. At its meeting of May 11, 1993 the City Commission approved the plat for Wallace Dodge and the abandonment of a portion of Queens Avenue (50' x 744') through the adoption of Resolution 42-93. The remaining 85.85' of Queens Avenue was not abandoned at that time as the consent of the adjacent property owner (current applicant) could not be obtained. The abandonment of the remaining portion of Queens Avenue is now before the Board. The area proposed for abandonment is a 50' x 85.85' portion of Queens Avenue, which contains a shellrock dirt road. The property owner to the north has requested the abandonment to construct a driveway/parking area on the side of her single family home to park her vehicle. The right-of-way is currently used by the applicant to access the rear of her property. Wallace Nissan Dealership to the south also uses the road to park automobiles and access the adjacent dealership parking area. It is noted that this access point is not approved as p.art of the dealership's plan and that several approved access driveways exist throughout the dealership site. Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Queens Avenue Abandonment Page 2 A chain link fence surrounding the single family home encroaches into the right-of- way approximately 1'. In the event the right-of-way is abandoned this fence would then be located on the applicant's property. The subject right-of-way is a shellrock dirt road with an area of 4,292.5 sq. ft. (50' x 85.85'), and represents an equal dedication from lots to the north and south. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(O)(1), public property dedicated through subdivision shall be divided at the center line and returned equally to abutting parcels when abandoned. The right-of-way will be divided between the property owner immediately to the north and Wallace Nissan Dealership to the south, with 25' going to each. The abandonment area abuts a single family residence to the north on property zoned AC (Automotive Commercial); and auto dealerships (Wallace Ford, Wallace Nissan, and Wallace Dodge) and their attendant parking areas to the east, south and west on properties zoned AC (Automotive Commercial). Environmental Services and Fire Departments The City's Fire Department has reviewed the request and has no obi~ction to the abandonment. The Environmental Services Department has indicaLed that it has no objection to the right-of-way abandonment subject to the provision of 12' replacement easements (including sketch and description) over existing water and sewer utilities. The survey does not show these utilities and must be revised to reflect these existing services. Provision of replacement easements, attendant sketch and descriptions, and a revised survey locating water and sewer services are attached as conditions of approval. Utility Companies The Florida Public Utilities Company and Adelphia Cable have reviewed the request and have no objection as there are no underground gas lines or cable services within this right-of-way. The survey the applicant submitted does not show overhead power lines traversing the subject right-of-way which provide services to the single family residence. These power lines are connected to an existing east/west transmission power line that may be within the right-of-way. This east/west power line does not appear in the submitted survey, but was identified as being within this right-of-way on a previous survey of Queen~ Avenue. Florida Power and Light has indicated it has services on this east/west line, and if this power line is located within the subject right- of-way a replacement easement covering FP&L and any other utility services must be provided. BellSouth has not responded to the abandonment application, but in the event phone service exists within this right-of-way a replacement easement will be Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Queens Avenue Abandonment Page 3 provided. As previously noted, provision of a revised survey showing all existing utility services within this right-of-way, and verifying the location of the east/west transmission power line are attached as conditions of approval. Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.6(0)(5), prior to any right-of"way abandonment being approved, the following findings must be made: A) That there is not, nor will there be a need for the use of the right-of-way for any public purpose. The remaining section of Queens Avenue is unimproved and not used for public access, nor are there plans for its improvement. The majority of Queens Avenue right-of"way was abandoned in 1993 to accommodate the expansion of the Wallace Auto Dealership immediately to the east and south. Replacement easements will be required to cover existing water and sewer utilities and overhead power lines. B) That the abandonment does not, nor will not, prevent access to a lot of record. The abandonment of this right-of-way will not prevent access to a lot of record as the right-of"way abuts a single family home having access to Wallace Drive, and Wallace Dealerships having access from Linton Boulevard, Wallace Drive, and S.W. 10th Avenue. The abandonment will enhance access to the single family home by providing vehicular access to the rear of the property via the north 25' of the abandonment area. C) That the abandonment will not result in detriment to the provision of access and/or of utility services to adjacent properties or the general area. The abandonment of Queens Avenue will not result in the detriment to the provision of utility services to adjacent properties as replacement easements will be required to cover any existing services within the right-of"way. ! As the subject right-of-way is unimproved (without a roadway), short in length (85.85') and there are no plans for its improvement, its intended use is limited. A single family home is located to the north of the abandonment area and the homeowner is requesting the abandonment to accommodate the construction of a driveway/parking area that will allow cars to enter onto 'Wallace Drive more safely. Replacement Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report Queens Avenue Abandonment Page 4 easements with attendant sketches and a revised survey showing all existing utilities within Queens Avenue must be provided. 1 1. Continue with direction. 2. Recommend approval of the abandonment based upon positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.6(0)(5), pursuant to the following conditions: a) Provide revised survey showing all existing utilities within the subject right-of- way, including the east/west transmission power line. b) Provide 12' replacement easements with attendant sketches for existing water and sewer utilities and any other existing services within the abandonment area. 3. Recommend denial of the abandonment based upon a failure to make positive findings with respect to LDR Section 2.4.6(0)(5). ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: !:!:!:i i:!!!!!:!i!!!~!!!iii!~iiiiiiiiiiii i-:+:-: i i::.:.:.: i i::::-::::! i !::.:.::! i !.:.:+:.: i :.:.:-:-:.: i i+:-:-: i :.:.:-:.: i i.:-:.::: i i::.:.:.::i i::.:.::::i ! i i ! i i ! ! i !.:.:.:.:.! ! !::.:-::! ! !
