DESCRIPTION

In June of 1959 Robert S. Abernethy and Knox J. Abernethy granted to the County a Drainage Easement which was recorded in O.R. Book 287, at Page 26, Public Records of Polk County, Florida.  Buckeye Partners, LLC is the current owner of large tracts of land which are encumbered by the easement, and it is in the process of developing the property into a residential development through the City of Winter Haven.  A representative for the owner contacted the County and requested a release of the easement which encumbers the development property.  The drainage associated with the easements is being accommodated by the City reviewed development.  The Roads and Drainage Division and County Engineer have reviewed the request and have approved the release of the easement.  Approving the Release of Easement will release the encumbrance of the drainage easements on the parent tract and allow the property owner to move forward with its development plans.

RECOMMENDATION

Request Board approve the aforementioned Release of Easement.

FISCAL IMPACT

No fiscal impact.
