Title
Vacate a Portion of Southwest 2nd Place (B)
This item is a request for the City Commission to approve a petition to the Planning and Development Services Department to vacate a portion of Southwest 2nd Place at the request of the Public Works Department.
Explanation
Additional right-of-way is needed as part of the Southwest 6th Street and Southwest 2nd Avenue traffic roundabout. Approximately 1,400 square feet is needed on the southwest corner of this intersection. The property needed is a portion of Tax Parcel 13327-000-000, owned by Shands Teaching Hospital & Clinics, Inc. (Shands). As a portion of its redevelopment adjacent to Southwest 10th Street, Shands has requested public interest in a segment of Southwest 2nd Place be vacated in exchange for the deed of the portion of its property needed for this project. The portion of Southwest 2nd Place is approximately 20 feet wide by 157.2 feet deep. It runs easterly from Southwest 10th Street along the south side of Lots 6, 7, and 8, Block 7, University Place, Plat Book "A", page 77 and terminates at a portion of Southwest 2nd Place which was vacated in 1972 by Ordinance No.1792.
Fiscal Note
The fiscal impact is associated with the alternative recommendation below in the amount of $41,120 should the City decide to purchase the required 1,400 square feet of Shands property needed for the traffic roundabout.
Recommndation
The City Commission authorize staff to initiate a petition to vacate a portion of Southwest 2nd Place, running easterly from Southeast 10th Street, along the south side of Lots 6, 7, and 8, Block 7, University Place, Plat Boot A, page 77 for approximately 157.2 feet.
Alternative Recommendation: City Commission deny this request and Public Works purchases the required 1,400 square feet of Shands property needed for the traffic roundabout for $41,120.
