Surplus of Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) Right-of-Way
at Mile Marker 30.5, Bayside
TO:
RE:
DATE:
August 25, 2003
Issue:
The owner of Skeeter's Marine Repair, Richard Beal, has inquired with FOOT about purchasing a portion of the
right-of-way at approximately MM 30.5, Bayside. Previous action by the Board of County Commissioners
(BOCC) requested FOOT to deny requests to surplus property along U.S. ] until the BOCC has taken action on the
Overseas Heritage Trail (OHT) and the Stonnwater Master Plans.
Background:
Skeeter's Marine Repair is currently leasing the approximately 50' X 75' (3,750 square feet) subject property from
the F]orida Department of Transportation for use as outdoor storage.
Through this section ofUS-], the typical right-of-way width is ]00 feet. The subject parcel extends outside of the
typical right-of-way line and is surrounded on three sides (north, west, and east) by Skeeter's Marine Repair (See
attached aerial).
Although the OHT is scheduled for the bays ide at this location, a review of the proposed safety improvements for
the OHT on Big Pine Key shows that the sale of the subject parcel would not hinder the implementation of the
proposed safety improvements. A review of the Stonnwater Master Plan also shows no projects that would be
affected by the sale of the parcel.
Conclusion
Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
