Title
Greystone Release of Easement (B)
Staff is requesting approval of a Release of Easement to Greystone of Gainesville, LLC.
Explanation
In 1992, three different owners of property located in the 6000 block of NW 39th Avenue on Tax Parcel Nos. 6048-003-001, 6048-000-000, and 6048-001-000, granted public utility easements to the City for electric facilities to be provided to their homes. In September 2006, Greystone of Gainesville, LLC, purchased the above properties for the development of Greystone Subdivision. During the development of this property, the owner will be removing the existing homes and electric facilities located on the property at their expense. The new subdivision will include dedicated public utility easements as needed for the new development. Therefore, since the existing easements will no longer be required, the owner has requested the City release their interest in the existing public utility easements. Staff has reviewed this request for a Release of Easement and recommends the granting of the same.
Recommendations
The City Commission: 1) approve the release of three public utility easements located in the 6000 block of NW 39 Avenue; and 2) authorize the Mayor and Clerk of the Commission to execute the Release of Easement, substantially in the form on file, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
Fiscal Note
There is no fiscal impact to the City
