…body
EXPLANATION: Francisco J. Gonzalez, Esq., with Gonzalez, Shenkman & Buckstein, P.L., on behalf of Christian and Tracy Harris, owners, is requesting to vacate/abandon a 12-foot wide utility easement, approximately 268 linear feet, located at 14365 Rolling Rock Place to construct an addition to an existing barn and improvements that will encroach into the easement. Lots 3 and 4, Block 60, Saddle Trail Park of Wellington were unified on May 12, 1999. The current process to allow a structure to encroach into an easement is to abandon the entire utility easement.
The Engineering Department and utility companies (Bellsouth, Comcast, FPL and Florida Public Utilities) determined the requested vacation of the utility easement is consistent with the public interest and will not adversely affect utility or maintenance access to other properties. The Vacation/Abandonment Application 16-20001(2016-032VAC) is provided for review.
