DESCRIPTION
The County has received a petition from CB Myers III, P.A., as authorized agent for Lake Aurora Christian Assembly, LLC, to vacate a portion of platted, unopened, and unmaintained right-of-way lying North of Lot 1 as shown on the map of Goldenbough Association's Plat of Homesites, recorded in Plat Book 4, Page 65. The subject right-of-way lies in Section 13, Township 30 South, Range 28 East.
The map of Goldenbough Association's Plat of Home Sites, filed in 1919, depicts various rights-of-way throughout the plat which are presumed to be public. The petitioner owns property on both sides of the right-of-way lying to the north of Lot 1 and east of Goldenbough Road which are bisected by the platted right-of-way. It has requested the vacation in order to assemble and more fully utilize its property. During the review of the vacation request it was discovered that a portion of Goldenbough Road lies outside of existing documented right-of-way in an area owned by the petitioner. The County requested the petitioner convey additional right-of-way to the County for the existing roadway and the petitioner agreed to the County's request. Vacating the right-of-way will remove the public's interest in the subject area which will allow the petitioner to more fully utilize its property.
Charter Communications, Duke Energy, Florida Southeast Connection LLC, Frontier Communications and Uniti Fiber LLC have no objections to the proposed vacation.
The Roads and Drainage Division, Office of Planning and Development, and Utilities Division have no objections to the proposed vacation.
