- Submitted For:
- Rebecca Grohall
SUBJECT:
Ordinance 17-014: Abandoning an unopened segment of North Tenth Street right-of-way, between Avenue M & O upon payment of appraised value in the amount of $3,144. FIRST READING
SUMMARY:
- In accordance with City Code Section 17-1, Abandonment, narrowing, etc., of streets, the applicant, is requesting the City of Fort Pierce abandon an unopened segment of North 10th Street Right-of-Way, situated between Avenue M & O, which abuts their land holdings.
- Concurrent to the request for abandonment, the applicant is requesting the approval of Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map and Zoning Atlas Amendments, for 5.99 acres of their property, abutting the subject right-of-way.
- The subject extension of North 10th Street appears to have remained unopened in perpetuity, and has not been utilized for utility infrastructure.
- The right-of-way segment sought for abandonment offers minimal vehicular, pedestrian, or utility design advantage to the city, especially in its unimproved state.
- The majority (~.165 acres) of the right-of-way segment considered for abandonment would be assumed by the applicant, with a minor section (~.058 acres) being retained by the city as it abuts city owned parkland, based upon established policy.
- The portion of the right-of-way presented for abandonment to the applicant has a prorated valuation of $3,144, payable prior to the subject ordinance becoming effective.
