HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
The real property located at the corner of Leonard and Palafox Streets is one of several adjacent parcels totaling the 19.23 acres of the Palafox Field Services Center. This improved parcel is approximately 8.86 acres and is zoned C-3.
In late February, FDOT notified the City of its intent to acquire a small portion of the easternmost section of the parcel for the installation of a steel mast arm assembly for traffic lights at the corner of Leonard and Palafox Streets. The portion needed by FDOT is 293 sf (less than 1/100th acre) directly on the corner of the parcel, outside of the fenceline of the Palafox Field Services Center, and the loss will not impact operations.
Staff determined the offer of $6,400 for the acquisition to be sufficient. The proceeds of the sale will be utilized for the installation of a Miovision traffic control and monitoring device at the same location, as on other lights along the Palafox corridor.
Per Council policy regarding disposition, no historical findings requiring the retention of this parcel were identified, nor is the property waterfront or with a water view. Notices have not been mailed out at this time to property owners within a 300-ft radius of the subject parcel but can be post-disposition. The request for a waiver of the pre-disposition mailout is due to the FDOT use of the disposed property and the composition of the 36 radial property owners, with at least 29 denoted as local government, commercial, church, and vacant residential.
