Approval to Remove Part of a Drainage Easement in Brandon

Original title: V22-0016 Public Hearing - Vacating Petition by Robert Scott Carroll and Sandra May Carroll to vacate a portion of platted public drainage easement within Folio No 088067-5926 in Brandon. Adopt a Resolution vacating a portion of a platted public drainage easement, consisting of approximately 34 square feet (0.001 acres), within Lot 28, Block 7 of the plat of Bloomingdale Section “AA/GG” Unit 3 Phase 2, as recorded in Plat Book 78, Page 36, of the public records of Hillsborough County, and described in the Resolution. The Petitioners, Robert and Sandra Carroll, have submitted this request to cure an encroachment caused by the construction of a pool in 2022. Although the County’s Public Works Department Policy PWD 0001.0 2016 generally restricts the vacating of drainage easements, Public Works Stormwater does not object to the vacate request due to the relatively small area requested to be vacated which is a 1.32 feet by 25.25 feet portion of a 10-foot by 85-foot easement. County departments, agencies, and utility providers have raised no objections to this request. Estimated costs for required advertising per statute, recording fees, and processing are accounted for in the Petitioner’s application fee of $400.
