Summary Explanation and Background:
Florida Statutes, Section 336.09 and Brevard County Article II, Section 86-36, provide a method to the Board of County Commissioners to vacate and abandon unused rights-of-way and easements. This is a revised Agenda item from the public hearing held on October 6, 2020 where the Board requested a continuance of Legistar item number 2143. The petitioners’ own Lot 27, Block G, and are requesting the vacating of a portion of a 5.00 ft. wide public utility and drainage easement along the rear line of lot 27 to allow for the existing deck to be removed as an encroachment. The easement to be vacated is roughly 43 square feet. The property is located in Merritt Island South of Highway 528 and East of N. Courtenay Pkwy.
On September 21, 2020, 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.
