Summary Explanation/Background Information on Agenda Request:
This is the First Reading of Ord 2414-2019. The applicant, owner of real property at 430 SE Osceola (Known as Molly’s House), have requested the abandonment of 12 feet of unutilized public Right of Way. That is behind the main house and between the house and a shed on Lot 5 of Block 1 of the Stypmann’s subdivision. The 12' right of way is located generally as a discontinued alley between SE Osceola Street and SE Ocean Boulevard. The City's Public Works Department has determined that the use of the Right of Way is no longer in the public's best interest and does not object to the abandonment of the City's interest.
A fair market appraisal of the real property has determined that the market value of the property is $1,175. As provided in Section 36-2 of the City's Code of Ordinances, staff recommends payment of a privilege fee in the amount of 100% of the market value, or $1,175, prior to the abandonment of the City's interest. The applicant is requesting a waiver from the payment of the privilege fee, which the City Commission could waive per Section 36-2., in matters of public interest.
