DESCRIPTION
Stalnaker Road is a County maintained roadway running from State Road 17 east to its dead end. The road is classified as local residential roadway and lies within and/or adjacent to the municipal limits of the Town of Dundee (“Town”). It is proposed to be transferred to the Town in conjunction with proposed development adjacent to the roadway.
Florida Statutes allow for the transfer of public roads between jurisdictions by mutual agreement of the affected governments and a conveyance of the associated right-of-way by deed. The Town has reviewed and approved, at its meeting held May 28, 2024, an Agreement for Transfer of Public Road for the transfer of the roadway and agreed to accept a County Deed for the associated right-of-way. Approving said Agreement and authorizing a County Deed to the Town for the associated right-of-way will transfer ownership of the subject road and will remove the roadway from the County’s Road inventory thereby allowing the County to cease maintenance and future liability responsibilities associated with it.
RECOMMENDATION
Request Board approve the aforementioned Agreement for Transfer of Public Road and authorize the County Deed to the Town for the right-of-way associated therewith.
FISCAL IMPACT
No fiscal impact.
