SUMMARY:

 

In June of 1988 City Council approved Ordinance No. 25-88 abandoning and vacating certain portions of Bay Boulevard, while maintaining a utility easement for itself and other utility providers.

 

The resident at 1010 Bay Blvd has requested that the City and other utility providers abandon that portion of the utility easement related to their property.  The City as well as the other utility providers have agreed to this abandonment, seeing no need to retain the easement.

 

This ordinance serves to close, abandon and vacate a utility easement along a vacated portion of Bay Boulevard.  Recorded release of easements have been obtained from ECUA and Gulf  Power and Pensacola Energy is in the process of recording their release.

 

Since this is an administrative action, there was no need to go back in front of the Planning Board.

June 30, 1988 - City Council passed Ordinance No. 25-88
