What This Bill Does
The Sims Family Partnership, LTD. has requested to (close) portions of unimproved public in the Fairmont Park area of Ruskin. While county staff and utility providers generally support the request, the Planning Commission objects to closing a portion of Wheeling Avenue due to its potential use for future access to the Southshore Community Resource Center.
This resolution determines whether approximately 3.41 acres of public land in Ruskin will be removed from public use and transferred to private control, potentially impacting future access to the Southshore Community Resource Center.
