SUMMARY:

The City has received a request from Jonathon and Ryan Wiggins, in conjunction with Michael Callaghan and Galen Nase, to vacate a 34.8 foot portion of the 1600 Block of North 18^th Avenue adjacent to the properties located at 1771 E. Mallory and 1774 E. Moreno Streets.  Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins have indicated that the purpose for their request is to be able to construct a garage and small attached guest house.  Mr. Callaghan and Mr. Nase have indicated the purpose for their request is to acquire the land where their semi-circular driveway is located. 

On June 12, 2018, the City’s Planning Board unanimously recommended approval of the request with several stipulations.  The Planning Board approved the right-of-way vacation request with the stipulation of a 5 foot landscape strip, 5 foot sidewalk, total right-of-way to be maintain at no less than 60 feet, sidewalk to be constructed within 90 days, sidewalk to be built to the road and to City of Pensacola and ADA standards.  The June 12, 2018 Planning Board minutes are attached as well and reflect the discussion which led to the motion.
