General Information
The property owners, Joseph and Cathy Hankins 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 5, 6, 16 and 17, therefore making it necessary to vacate these easements.
Pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 177.101, an application has been made to the City of North Port to formally request a vacation of the platted rear 10-foot utility and drainage easements located on Lots 5, 6, 16 and 17, Block 1565, 32nd Addition to Port Charlotte Subdivision.
A legal notice of intent to vacate was published by the property owner in a newspaper of general circulation, for two weeks (2) 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 5, 6, 16 and17, Block 1565, 32nd Addition to Port Charlotte Subdivision.
Resolution 2021-R-11 has been reviewed by the City Attorney and is legally correct as to form.
