Re: Road closures, Largo City subdivision
Largo City subdivision is located at MM 104 oceanside. The MCLA is acquiring a number
of lots in the subdivision because most parcels contain high quality hammock vegetation,
and the whole subdivision abuts Florida State Conservation and Recreational Lands
property to the south. Please see the attached plat sheet and aerial photograph for
orientation. There are three locations I would like to propose blocking due to continual
problems with solid waste dumping and the associated impacts to the natural forest
community:
• Robert Street at its intersection with the southern side of Esther Street
• Esther Street at its eastern intersection with Pamela Street
• Cliff Street at its intersection with Taylor Drive
Robert Street south of Esther dead ends at the state conservation lands. The road is paved,
and hidden from view by the dense hammock, making it a prime location for dumping solid
waste. Esther street east of its intersection with Pamela Street is a dirt track that extends
into hammock and curves northward, changing into Cliff Street and exiting onto Taylor
Drive. The dirt road is routinely used as a dumping ground. There are no developed lots
along any of the roads proposed to be closed, and much of the adjacent land is in public
ownership.
Please let me know your opinion on closing these three roads. If you have any questions, I
can be reached at x7112.
