UDUn request by Mr. Drago. Mr. Sargen explained that this reque s also
rela[edwther and that request foralot split will come
forward shortly, and thateheswould like address the other items relative to this
reque at thief e. He explained the[beo etheo ref Lot ll inthe
Coin neroe Parknwants to chango die use of his properly to al law offices. he
needed additional Dorking and, therefore wished to purchere the subject
proprny for parking. Using viwal aids, Mr Sargem explained how the
subjec[ progeny was south of the Florida Central Commerce Park and was pan
of the First BaDtisl Churoh propetty; the subjec pmparty has no access firm
the Church property due to the wetlands to the south, the request ro change the
land use was being made in order to utilize the property far the additional
parking Cur thu property lying to the nosh looeted in the Florida Central
Con oe perk: and thar raquo orightbf--ways adjacem
ache sunjeo[propeny whioheaaa later date ould ba followed by the reque
far the lot-split. Mr. Sargent explained that State law requires when a right s
of-way is vacated, it reverts back to whoever dedicated it originally. Only 25
feet of rightof- way (Alberta Strou) lying on the noun aide ol'the Chnrch
property was dedicated and therefore will revert to the lend owned by Church.
However, Lyman Avenue is a 50 foot right-of-way and it would be divided
betty en proper[ either side of i[, the Church ro thew and va
proper es lying ro the t. In respon inquiry, Mr. Sargent said he tlid not
believethev toted right of-way would signifcendy add to that any of
the receivingaproperties- kie noted that the City would continue to ruain a
drainage/utility~asement euoss the vacated right-of-ways-
Discussion ensued during which explanation was given that these rights-of-
ways, would. most likely, never be used as roads as they lie within
jurisdictional wetlands and at least one has power lines running through it; that
the vacating of these rights-of--ways would mon likely help the applicant's
-mperv urface oiftheyw nted to ezpend;a mindu as given that
e ofthe adjac nt propetty ovm s spoke in oppos ving the land
and iftheo eadjac mpropertY Ownere doa ntotheoright rofway, that,
perhaps, it not be given m him or that only 25nfratvthat was adjacent to the
subject property an the wost side of Lyman Avenue be vacated.
Commissioner Bundy asked if the pond to the north of Alberta Street was the
pond that has given the City problems over theyears and if the subject
propertyw repaved. would thedrainageimpa<t this pond.Disc on ensued
with respect to where the drainage would go from the wbject site ssi
Mr. Brook nelievad it would be kept on site: however, the wigineuing Irad not
yet been accomplished.
h was memioned that the pond belongs to the Industrial Perk but the City is
required to maintain it.

it would meensthey may of be able Io pave as much as they
would like'te
Mr. Sargent said if the Commi .ion chose m vacate only 25 feet of Lyman
Avenue, they could do so. Whether 50 f t or 25 feat afright-of-way were to
be vacated- would not change the Pact ihet the righlbf--way would never be
used as a road.

order o relieve the ne property ow who doe nt 1he property, from
any liabilily_ He noted there were no objections from eery of iheother abwting
propmY Owners. I{e further said they would not be paving imo any of the
