Title

Approve the request from the City of Clearwater vacating public right-of-way described as that certain portion of State Street abutting Lot 11 and Lot 18 of E.A.

Body

SUMMARY: 

This portion of State Street is a dead-end right-of-way that bisects State Street Park. The City of Clearwater Parks and Recreation Department is requesting this right-of-way be vacated to connect the two parts of State Street Park, allowing installation of a fence, in hopes of eliminating illegal dumping taking place regularly in this right-of-way.

 

The City will grant utility easements to the private utility companies to support existing and future utilities over this 30 ft. strip of land.

 

City staff has reviewed this vacation request and has determined this Right-of-Way is not necessary for city needs and is in the best interest of the City to be vacated.
