Summary Explanation and Background:
Florida Statutes, Section 336.09 and Brevard County Article II, Section 86-36, provide a method for the Board of County Commissioners to vacate and abandon unused rights-of-way and easements. The petitioners own Lot 8, Block E, and are requesting the vacating of a portion of two public utility & drainage easements to allow for the existing covered wood deck to remain and become compliant with Code Enforcement case #22CE-01195. The property is located in Merritt Island South of Highway 520 and West of S. Banana River Road.
On July 22, 2024, the legal notice was advertised in Florida Today informing the public of the date a public hearing would be held to consider the vacating.
