HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The subject parcel is approximately 0.5952 acres and is located at the corner of East Cervantes and North Hayne Streets. The property lies directly north of the Pensacola Police Department's main building and directly east of the I-110 overpass. ECUA contacted the City in late July 2020, expressing an interest in purchasing a portion of the parcel, approximately 0.25 acres of the northern portion of the parcel.
ECUA currently owns two parcels within that block that have an elevated water tank on them and a utility/access easement through the City property. Please see the attached map for a general layout, with the area that ECUA is interested in shown in a red cloud. It is the northern section of the parcel adjacent to their elevated water tank or East Tank. ECUA will be conducting maintenance and painting of that tank soon and will need additional space for materials and equipment. The purchase would eliminate construction or other easements that may be necessary for the major work on the tank.
City staff and ECUA met mid-August 2020 to discuss and develop a plan to satisfy both parties' needs if the parcel were declared surplus. During the meeting, it was determined that the City's needs could be met by the issuance of an easement along the eastern section that ECUA is interested in purchasing.
