Background Information
The property owners, John M. Donlan and Ashlee S. Donlan, are requesting a vacation of the platted rear 10-foot utility and drainage easements to construct a single-family residence in the center of four combined lots to be used as one building site. The proposed placement of the home will encroach substantially into portions of the rear 10-foot utility and drainage easements encompassing lots 1, 2, 37 and 38, therefore making it necessary to vacate these easements.
Pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 177.101, an Application requesting a Vacation of the Platted Rear 10-Foot Utility and Drainage Easements Located on Lots 1, 2, 37 and 38, Block 513, Eleventh Addition to Port Charlotte Subdivision was submitted to the City of North Port.
A legal notice of intent to vacate was published by the property owner in a newspaper of general circulation, for two (2) weeks consecutively.
All applicable Utility agencies have been notified and have granted their approval for the vacation of platted rear 10-foot utility and drainage easements located on lots 1, 2, 37 and 38, Block 513, Eleventh Addition to Port Charlotte Subdivision.
Resolution No. 2020-R-39 has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is legally correct as to form.
