REQUESTED BY: The Port Salerno Church of God, Inc.

PROCEDURES: None
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
The Port Salerno Church of God, Inc. requests that the Board consider the abandonment of 11,816.48 square feet (Exhibit “A”) of unopened platted right-of-way of SE Front Street, lying within the plat of Port Salerno. Said right-of-way being sought for abandonment is not, nor has it ever been an open road. Said right-of-way abuts existing abandonments of SE Front Street and adjacent platted alley and therefore would not block any existing access to or from SE Cove Road (see Location Map).
The Petitioner is the owner of Lots 1 through 4 and 9 together with a portion of right-of-way previously abandoned by Martin County adjacent to the subject unopened right-of-way. St. Luke’s Episcopal Church of Port Salerno is the owner of the property located east of the right-of-way proposed to be abandoned and has provided a letter of no objection. Upon successful abandonment of the subject right-of-way the Petitioner would receive the westerly half and St. Luke’s Episcopal Church would receive the easterly half.
ISSUES:
The Petitioner previously requested this item be continued to October 8, 2019. Since Commissioner Heard is not going to be at the October 8 meeting, and she paid the application fee from her District funds, and because of unresolved issues staff is working through with the Petitioner; staff is requesting this item be continued to December 3, 2019.
LEGAL SUFFICIENCY REVIEW:
This item has been reviewed for legal sufficiency to determine whether it is consistent with applicable law, has identified and addressed legal risks, and has developed strategies for legal defensibility.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
RECOMMENDATION
Move that the Board continue the public hearing to December 3, 2019.
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATIONS
None
FISCAL IMPACT:
RECOMMENDATION
The application fee for the Petition to Abandon is $3,200.00
