Title

Resolution and Perpetual Drainage Easement Request from Florida Department of Transportation (B)  

This item involves the request from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) for a Resolution and Perpetual Drainage Easement, located on Southwest 43^rd Street, south of Southwest 24^th Avenue.

Explanation

FDOT plans renovations in the area of Butler Plaza to Archer Road, Southwest 37^th Boulevard, and Southwest 43^rd Street.  FDOT has drainage rights from Archer Road to the Butler retention ponds.  Because of FDOT's right to discharge stormwater to the Butler retention ponds, FDOT is requiring the grant of a Perpetual Drainage Easement under Southwest 43^rd Street for the connection of retention ponds on both sides of Southwest 43^rd Street.   FDOT also requires the adoption of a resolution, associated with the easement.

Fiscal Note

There is no fiscal impact associated with this item.

Recommendation

The City Commission: 1) adopt the Resolution approving a Perpetual Drainage Easement, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality; and 2) authorize the Mayor to execute and the Clerk to attest the Perpetual Drainage Easement subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
