The undeveloped parcel adjacent to Cardinal Lane with ID No. 00546390-000000 is owned by the State of Florida. The process to obtain an easement for this parcel involves applying to the State and submitting, among other items, a resolution from the Board of County Commissioners requesting the easement.
