Background:
Applicants David and Shana Larson, Maria Fernandez, and Jared Pittman have petitioned Seminole County to vacate and abandon a portion of an undeveloped right-of-way known as Raymond Avenue, located in Section 11, Township 21, Range 29 of Seminole County, Florida.
The portion of undeveloped right-of-way subject to this vacate request is approximately 5,400 square feet in size, and is adjacent to the east perimeter of Lot 23 of the Raymond Oaks Subdivision, as recorded in Plat Book 51, Pages 52 - 53, and adjacent to the west perimeter of Lot 1 of the West Altamonte Heights Section 3 Subdivision as recorded in Plat Book 10, Page 76 of the Public Records of Seminole County, Florida.
The Applicants have provided letters of no objection from all applicable utility companies and Seminole County staff has no objections to the vacation and abandonment of the right-of-way as requested. At the request of Seminole County, a drainage and utility easement has been provided over the area subject to the vacate.
In the late 1990s, the Developer of the Raymond Oaks Subdivision installed a sidewalk approximately 105 feet in length within the undeveloped right-of-way adjacent to the east perimeter of Lot 23, as shown in the agenda attachment labeled “Raymond Avenue Existing Sidewalk & Fence Location.” The Developer also installed portions of a four (4) foot tall and six (6) foot tall ornamental open picket fence in the undeveloped right-of-way, which created a “courtyard” like area for the residents of Raymond Oaks. The existing sidewalk and fence located within the right-of-way were not installed or maintained by Seminole County. Any private rights that may be associated with these improvements would be unaffected by this right-of-way vacation; the vacation only releases the County’s rights to use the area as a public right-of-way.
This request complies with the requirements for vacating a right-of-way under Section 35.184 of the Land Development Code and the authority of Sections 336.09 and 336.10, Florida Statutes. Vacating the right-of-way will not affect access to adjacent properties and therefore, will not result in adjacent parcels becoming landlocked.
Requested Action:
Staff requests the Board adopt the Resolution vacating and abandoning a portion of an uncut right-of-way known as Raymond Avenue located in Section 11, Township 21, Range 29 of Seminole County, Florida, for properties more particularly known as 200 Alpine Street, and 160 Raymond Oaks Court, Altamonte Springs.
