Right -of -Way Abandonment Request
Staff Report
10/11/2023
Petition No. 23 -002 -AC
Description of Request and Existing Conditions
The request for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Technical Review Committee is an application to
abandon for the portion of the 15 ft wide alleyway lying South to North between Lots 3 to 6 and 9 to 12
of Block 34. The alley is 15 feet wide by 199.58 feet long, totaling 2,994 square feet (0.07 acres). The
northern portion of the right -of --way was previously vacated in official record book 499, page 506, and the
remaining alley is currently designated as public right-of-way. The Applicant has identified that the two
(2) parcels bounding the alleyway to the east will absorb the acreage from the abandonment, enlarging
both parcels from 0.325 acres to 0.36 acres respectively. The adjacent property owner has provided a
signed letter of no objection to the request. Staff analysis of the submitted application and supplemental
documentation is provided below. Areas of deficiency or concern are highlighted in yellow.
17TH ST
Exhibit A: Subject Right -of -Way
Consistency with LDC Section 78-33
City LDC Section 78-33 requires that applicants for right-of-way vacation requests must address the
following standards. The applicant has not provided responses to the standards however, a staff analysis
is provided below.
1) Proposed vacation is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
Applicant Response: Yes.

MORRIS I
DEPEW
Right -of -Way Abandonment Request 10/11/2023
Staff Report Petition No. 23 -002 -AC
Staff Response: The City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan does not provide any standards
or regulations regarding abandonment or vacation of rights-of-way.
2) Right-of-way to be vacated is not the sole access to any property, and the remaining access is not an
easement.
Applicant Response: Not it is not.
Staff Response: Access to the subject property is provided via SW 17`t' St to the north, SW 18"'
St to the south, S.R 441 to the east, and SW 2°d Ave to the west. Staff find that the right-of-way
is not the sole access to any property on Block 34, and the remaining access is not an easement.
3) Proposed vacation is in the public interest and provides a benefit to the city.
Applicant Response: Yes.
Staff Response: The northern portion of the subject right-of-way has been previously vacated,
and the remaining alley has not been improved to facilitate vehicle traffic. Vacating the right-
of-way will transfer maintenance responsibilities to the current property owner, which benefits
the City, allowing for public resources to be allocated elsewhere; and incrementally increasing
the tax base.
4) Proposed vacation would not -jeopardize the location of any utility.
Applicant Response: No.
Staff Response: The provided survey indicates that no utilities or utility easements are located
within the subject right-of-way. Furthermore, the applicant has obtained a signed petition
including Florida Public Utilities, Okeechobee Utility Authority, Comcast Cable, Embarq d/b/a
Century Link, and Florida Power & Light authorizing the vacation of the alley.
Recommendation
Based on the materials provided by the applicant and the above analysis, we find that the request to
vacate the subject right-of-way is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the requirements of Sec.
78-33, and is not injurious to the adjacent property owner. Staff recommend approval of this request.

Staff Report
Description of Request and Existing Conditions
9/14/2023
Petition No. 23 -002 -AC
The request for consideration by the City of Okeechobee Technical Review Committee is an application to
abandon the alley that runs through Block 34, between SW 18th St to the south and SW 17th St to the
north. The alley is 15 feet wide by 199.58 feet long, totaling 2,994 square feet (0.07 acres). The northern
portion of the right-of-way was previously vacated in official record book 499, page 506, and the
remaining alley is currently designated as public right-of-way. The Applicant has identified that the two
(2) parcels bounding the alleyway to the east will absorb the acreage from the abandonment, enlarging
both parcels from 0.325 acres to 0.36 acres respectively. The adjacent property owner has provided a
signed letter of no objection to the request. Staff analysis of the submitted application and supplemental
documentation is provided below. Areas of deficiency or concern are highlighted in yellow.

Right -of -Way Abandonment Request
Staff Report
9/14/2023
Petition No. 23 -002 -AC
Staff Response: The City of Okeechobee Comprehensive Plan does not provide any standards
or regulations regarding abandonment or vacation of rights-of-way.
2) Right-of-way to be vacated is not the sole access to any property, and the remaining access is not an
easement.
Applicant Response: Not it is not.
Staff Response: Access to the subject property is provided via SW 17" St to the north, SW 18th
St to the south, S.R 441 to the east, and SW 2nd Ave to the west. Staff find that the right-of-way
is not the sole access to any property on Block 34, and the remaining access is not an easement.
3) Proposed vacation is in the public interest and provides a benefit to the city.
Applicant Response: YE!s.
Staff Response: The northern portion of the subject right-of-way has been previously vacated,
and the remaining alley has not been improved to facilitate vehicle traffic. Vacating the right-
of-way will transfer maintenance responsibilities to the current property owner, which benefits
the City, allowing for public resources to be allocated elsewhere; and incrementally increasing
the tax base.
4) Proposed vacation would not jeopardize the location of any utility.
Applicant Response: No.
Staff Response: The provided survey indicates that no utilities or utility easements are located
within the subject right-of-way. Furthermore, the applicant has obtained a signed petition
including Florida Public: Utilities, Okeechobee Utility Authority, Comcast Cable, Embarq d/b/a
Century Link, and Florida Power & Light authorizing the vacation of the alley.
Recommendation
Based on the materials provided by the applicant and the above analysis, we find that the request to
vacate the subject right-of-way is consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan, the requirements of Sec.
78-33, and is not injurious to the adjacent property owner. Staff recommend approval of this request.
