Recommendation
Consideration of the following Item:
The Development Services Management Group (DSMG) is asked to make a recommendation to the City Engineer for the Right-of-Way Width Reduction request from the owners of 2004 North Federal Highway.
Body
Background:
On February 19, 2025, a pre-application meeting was held regarding the subject property. One of the items discussed was the requirement for Right-of-Way dedication on Old Dixie Highway. The applicant was informed that the required Right-of-Way width for Old Dixie Highway on the west side of the project was 50’. The current width of the Right-of-way is 30’ but it is off-center to the east because of the proximity of the FEC Railroad Right-of-Way on the west side of Old Dixie Highway. The existing roadway is roughly 4’ west of the Old Dixie Highway Right-of-Way line and into the FEC Railroad Right-of-Way. The subject property would be responsible for ½ of the required Right-of-Way. The current ½ width of the Right-of-Way is 15’. A dedication from the subject property of 10’ would be required to make the total ½ width of 25’. The owner is requesting the DSMG reduce the required Right-of-Way ½ width from width from 25’ to 15’ adjacent to their property.
