The area subject to the requested vacate is seven-and-one-half (7.5) feet in width and 142.6 feet in length, containing approximately 1,069.5 square feet.
The purpose of the request is to accommodate storage containers in the rear yard of the property.

This request complies with the requirements for vacating easements under the authority of Section 35.181, Land Development Code of Seminole County, and Section 177.101 of the Florida Statutes.
