Body
BACKGROUND:
PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
The request is to vacate Chipley Street right-of-way that is approximately 6,877 square feet, and located between 336 and 348 Colonial Ave. Please find the application and information attached.
SUMMARY OF OCTOBER 3, 2025 PLANNING BOARD MEETING:
The Planning Board considered this request at the October 3, 2025 Planning Board meeting. There was a discussion surrounding the need for a utility easement along both sides of the new lot line when the ROW is vacated. A survey for the home at 336 Colonial Ave. indicated a utility easement along the front property line abutting Chipley Street. The applicant's agent indicated there were no utility easements along this portion of the lot. After discussion, the Planning Board continued this request to their November 7, 2025, meeting.
UPDATED INFORMATION:
The agent has provided an updated survey of 336 Colonial Ave. (included in this packet) that shows there is no utility easement along the front property line abutting Chipley Street. After reviewing the additional documentation, Staff believes a utility easement is not necessary due to utility easements in existence along the other side lot lines, utilities are provided to these two homes, and Hideaway Beach Club has access to utilities within their development.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT:
Applicant has paid $2,000.00 in applicable fees.
