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 15 and are requesting the vacating of a portion of a public drainage easement lying on the north side of Lot 15 to allow for a shed built into the easement to be removed as an encroachment and for the permit to be finalized. The property is located in Melbourne West of N. Wickham Road and South of Aurora Road.
On May 5, 2025, the legal notice was advertised in Florida Today informing the public of the date a public hearing would be held to consider the vacating. All pertinent county agencies and public utility companies have been notified. At this time, no objections have been received.
