Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Consider Resolution No. 66-26, abandoning a 2,782 square-foot utility easement.
Body
Background:
The requested abandonment relates to the relocation of the utilities consistent with the approved Level 1 site plan (File No. 2025-139-ARC-LV1). The utilities in the requested abandonment area have been removed, subsequent to the construction of new utility lines serving the development; a general utilities easement for the new utility lines was approved on April 7, 2026 by the City Commission.
Pursuant to Land Development Regulations (LDR) Section 2.4.9(C)(4), the application was forwarded to the City Commission with a recommendation of approval by the City Engineer (attached). The City of Delray Beach Utilities department has also reviewed the request and recommends approval.
Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.9(C)(6), prior to granting an abandonment of public easements, the City Commission must find the abandonment will not result in the detriment of the provision of utility services to adjacent properties or the general area. The new utilities infrastructure will serve the development, and no detriment will result.

Resolution No. 66-26 is approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
Funding Source/Financial Impact:
