At its June 7, 2022, Regular Meeting, the Board authorized outside counsel to stipulate to a final judgment for Parcels 103, 711, and 803 in the case of Polk County v. TLG Championsgate, LLC, et al (2021CA-002701-0103-00), an eminent domain lawsuit filed to acquire needed rights-of-way for the Lake Wilson Road project. The Court entered the Final Judgment on June 13, 2022. Among other matters addressed in the Final Judgment the County obtained a five year temporary construction easement over Parcel 711 for driveway reconstruction, connection and harmonization.
Counsel for TLG Championsgate, LLC recently contacted the County Attorney’s Office and requested that the County terminate the Parcel 711 temporary construction easement since the Lake Wilson Road project is now complete and TLG Championsgate, LLC is in the process of refinancing property which includes Parcel 711. The County Attorney’s Office discussed termination of the temporary construction easement with staff, who confirmed that the temporary construction easement was no longer needed since the Lake Wilson Road project is complete.
