BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:

 

On November 3, 1947, the County accepted a Quit Claim Deed for fifty (50) feet of property to be used as a County Road, later named Old Kansas Ave.

Martin County was contacted regarding a contract to purchase property at 8211 SW Old Kansas Avenue.  During the process, it was noted there was a gap between the Right-of-Way and the property in question. The property in the gap is owned by the County and has been used and maintained as part of the Right-of-Way for years.

In order to resolve the issue, staff is requesting the Board accept and approve a Resolution designating the fifty (50) feet along Old Kansas Avenue as Right-of-Way.

 

Pursuant to Section 336.08, Florida Statutes the Board may designate the Right-of-Way as a public County road by adoption of a Resolution.
