Approval to Vacate Public Right-of-Way in University Area Community

Original title: Public Hearing - Vacating Petition by Mondragon’s Carpet and Rug Installers, Corp. and Cayman Properties, Inc. to vacate a portion of a 10-foot-wide unimproved platted public right- of-way within Folio No. 36093-0000, in University Area Community. Adopt a resolution vacating a portion of a 10-foot-wide unimproved platted public right-of-way, lying between Lots 16-24 and 25-33, Block 16, within the plat of Flora Park, as recorded in Plat Book 21, Page 13, of the public records of Hillsborough County, and being more particularly described in the Resolution. The proposed vacate area is located within Folio No. 36093-0000, generally lying east of Nebraska Avenue, between Fletcher Avenue and Fowler Avenue, in University Area Community, and consists of approximately 2,250 square feet (0.052 acres). The Petitioners, Mondragon’s Carpet and Rug Installers, Corp. and Cayman Properties, Inc., have submitted this request to allow a warehouse to be constructed on the property of Mondragon’s Carpet and Rug Installers, Corp. The platted right-of-way was originally intended for a service alleyway which has no current or future use. In addition, the platted rights-of-way immediately east and west of the vacate area were previously vacated and therefore the subject right-of-way provides no connectivity. The Planning Commission finds the proposed vacating consistent with the Future of Hillsborough Comprehensive Plan for Unincorporated Hillsborough County. Reviewing departments, agencies, and utility providers have raised no objections. The financial impact associated with this item consists of required advertising per statute, recording fees and processing, estimated to be less than $175.00, which are paid for by the Petitioners.
