BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
On April 19, 1949, the plat of MANGO LANE was recorded in Plat Book 2, Page 66 of the public records of Martin County, Florida and included a dedication of the platted rights-of-way to the public. On February 7, 1952 the Amended Plat of MANGO LANE was recorded in Plat Book 2, Page 76 of the public records of Martin County, Florida and included a dedication of the platted rights-of-way to the public. A portion of the right-of-way adjacent to lots 7, 8, 22 and 23 was abandoned on September 5, 1967. The remainder of the right-of-way adjacent to lots 9 through 13, 17A and 17 through 21 was not constructed and therefore was not included in the County's Road Inventory when it was adopted in 1972. For roads that were not constructed in rights-of-way that were platted prior to 1972, it has been the County's procedure to require the roads to be constructed in accordance with the County's current standards prior to accepting the roads into the County's Road Inventory. Frank and Michele Cacella would like to open the road and sell the lots to individuals that wish to construct homes on the lots of record.
Section 4.843.K of the Martin County Land Development Regulations provides, "In order for a building permit to be issued for the construction of any structure, the lot must directly front on an open road." Accordingly, Frank and Michele Cacella will be submitting a Road Opening Permit application to open portions of the platted road rights-of-way and construct the road to County standards.
