two (2) options:
An easement must be granted to cover the existing FP&L facilities prior to
the right-of-way abandonment; or

SUBJECT: Abandonment of a portion of a 30-foot right-of-way (Miller Road)
ABAN 05-008
NATURE OF REOUEST
Ms. Kim Glas-Castro of Ruden McClosky is requesting to abandon a portion of a semi-improved 30-foot right-of-way,
located on the east side of Old Dixie Highway. The subject right-of-way, named Miller Road, is located
approximately 1,250 feet south of the intersection Old Dixie Highway and Federal Highway. The abandonment
request was submitted on September 21, 2005. The portion of the platted right-of-way to be abandoned is 30 feet
in width and approximately 450 in length. It is described as follows:
A portion of the right-of-way of Miller Road as shown on the Plat of "Killian's Park", according to the Plat
thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 23, Page 195, of the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida,
described as follows:
Beginning at the southwest corner of Lot 6 of said "Killian's Park"; thence east, along the north right-of-way
line of said Miller Road, a distance of 450.00 feet; thence south 08033'15" west, along the east right-af-way
line of Miller Road, a distance of 30.34 feet; thence west, along the south right-of-way line of Miller Road, a
distance of 445.49 feet; thence north, a distance of 30.00 feet, to the point of beginning.
The following is a description of the land uses and zoning districts of all properties that surround the subject right-
of-way.
North -
Developed single-family homes, classified County Medium Residential (County RM-5) and
zoned County Multi-family Residential (County RM);
South -
Partially developed residential property, classified County Medium Residential (County
RM-5) and zoned County Residential Multi-family (County RM)
East
Undeveloped property, classified County Commercial High (County CH-5) and zoned
County General Commercial (CG); and
West -
Right-of-way for Old Dixie Highway, then further west is right-of-way for the Florida East
Coast (FEe) Railroad.

Memorandum No. PZ 05-223
ABAN 05-008
BACKGROUND
Although not indicated on the sketch, the applicant has informed staff that the substandard roadway is 13,432
square feet or 0.308 acres in area. Exhibit A - "Location Map" shows the general vicinity of the roadway to be
abandoned. Approximately 260 feet of Miller Road immediately east of Old Dixie Highway would remain intact to
serve the three (3) parcels remaining on the north side of the street which are not part of the proposed 121
townhouse development called Palm Cove. The remaining section of Miller Road, approximately 450 feet in length
and running east, would be totally within the proposed Palm Cove project. Exhibit "B"- "Proposed Abandonment"
shows the exact location and dimensions of the subject site in conjunction with its legal description. The subject
right-of-way lies within the boundaries of the Killian's Park plat. The plat, originally approved on December 6, 1951
(see Exhibit "C"), included 29 individual lots. The intent of this abandonment request is to integrate the abandoned
portion of the right-of-way into the design of the accompanying site plan (NWSP 05-031). Therefore, approval of
this abandonment request is subject to the approval of the accompanying request for annexation (ANEX OS-ODS),
land use amendment / rezoning (LUAR 05-014), and aforementioned site plan (see Exhibit "0" - Conditions of
Approval).
The Killian's Park plat also contains a reverter clause, which states "reserving however, unto themselves, their heirs,
assigns or legal representatives, the reversion or reversions of same, whenever abandoned by, the pubic, or
discontinued by law". The City makes no representation regarding the impact of the reversionary language on title
to the adjacent properties. The adjacent property owners have been informed of the existence of the reversionary
issue. Redevelopment or expansion of the adjacent properties following abandonment would require the property
owners to establish proof of clear title as a condition of redevelopment or expansion (see Exhibit "0" - Conditions of
Approval).
ANALYSIS
When a right-of-way, such as this substandard roadway, is abandoned, the ownership of the abandoned land is
transferred from the City of Boynton Beach to the abutting property owner(s). Typically, two (2) properties would
be affected by an abandonment request. Normally, one-half of the right-of-way is conveyed to one (1) abutting
property owner and the other half is conveyed to the other abutting property owner. In this case, the right-of-way
would be located totally within the proposed Palm Cove townhouse project. Adequate public notice was given to all
affected property owners in accordance with Chapter 22, Article III, Section 4 of the Land Development
Regulations. All public utility companies have been notified and the abandonment request has been advertised in
the local newspaper.
A summary of the responses from the utility companies and city staff is noted as follows:

ABAN 05-008
Excluding Florida Power and Light (FP&L), all public utility providers have indicated that they have no objection to
the applicant's request for abandonment. A dedication of a utility easement would provide the necessary protection
FP&L is seeking and grant the City and other utility agencies, legal access to the property for maintenance or
upgrade purposes.
It should be noted that Miller Road is a County road and Palm Beach County was notified of the proposed
annexation of property abutting their right-of-way. The Palm Beach County Planning Division and Engineering
Division are requesting the City consider an adequate (vehicular) turn-around area at the end of Miller Road for the
benefit of the remaining homes located on Miller Road, outside the boundaries of the subject project (see Exhibit
"c" - Conditions of Approval).
RECOMMENDATION
Staff has determined that the portion of the subject right-of-way to be abandoned does not serve a public purpose,
and therefore is recommending approval of the request to abandon a portion of the 30-foot unimproved roadway as
described above, subject to the comments included in Exhibit "0" - Conditions of Approval. Any additional
conditions recommended by the Community Redevelopment Agency Board meeting or City Commission will be
placed in Exhibit "0" - Conditions of Approval accordingly.
