SUBJECT:
Quasi-Judicial Hearing - Ordinance 19–012 - An Ordinance by the City Commission of the City of Fort Pierce, Florida, Abandoning a portion of the Delaware Avenue right-of-way, lying east of south Indian River Drive fronting the west bank of the Indian River; being approximately 25.00 feet wide; providing for a severability clause; providing for repeal of Ordinances or parts thereof in conflict; and providing for an effective date. FIRST READING
SUMMARY:
- In accordance with City Code Section 17-1: Abandonment , the applicant, is requesting the City of Fort Pierce abandon an unopened section of the easterly extension of the Delaware Avenue Right of Way (ROW) located east of South Indian River Drive, fronting the west bank of the Indian River.
- This segment of Delaware Avenue has been unimproved, and has some utility infrastructure present. Because there is utility infrastructure the applicants will need to record an easement with the Fort Pierce Utilities Authority (FPUA). The underlying objective of both property owners is to increase the size of their properties.
- The applicants have provided the appraisal value of the entire Delaware Avenue right-of-way. The entire right-of-way appraisal is $15,000. Each applicant will pay fifty (50) percent of the appraisal value, which equals $7,500. Therefore, both applicants are required to pay the City of Fort Pierce a total of $7,500 each.
- The Planning Board at their October 9, 2019 meeting voted 5-2 to recommend approval of the request as presented.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission deny the requested abandonment of the Delaware Avenue right-of-way as it is not in conformance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
