Title
Partial Release of Easement - Lot 1 of Kingswood First Addition (B)
This item is a request to approve and authorize Partial Release of Easement over Lot 1 of Kingswood First Addition.
Explanation
In 1967, Kingswood First Addition to Gainesville was platted in Plat Book G, page 65 of the Public Records of Alachua County, Florida. According to the Plat, there was a 15 foot Drainage Easement along the eastern boundary of Lot 1. It has come to the attention of staff that the existing residential structure, encroaches 5 feet into the Drainage Easement. This encroachment creates a cloud on the title of the property owner. The encroachment does not conflict with the existing drainage facility. Staff believe the Release of the Easement would be in the best benefit for the future use of the property.
Fiscal Note
There is no impact with this request.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the Partial Release of Easement over a portion of Lot 1 of Kingswood First Addition, Plat Book G, page 65; and 2) authorize the Mayor to execute and the Clerk to attest the Partial Release of Easement over a portion of Lot 1 of Kingswood First Addition, subject to the approval of the City Attorney as to form and legality.
