SUBJECT: Abandonment Request for Citrus Avenue
Letters have been forwarded to the appropriate Public Utilities within the
City to request that they determine whether they would require easements if
the abandonment of said avenue is granted. Upon receipt of these respon-
ses I will forward them to your office.
Therefore, it is my recommendation that the subject avenue be abandoned and
that easements for utilities be retained for the width of the right-of-way
where necessary. The abandonment of this avenue will not have a signifi-
cant impact in this area. The original purpose for this road being a
public road, was due to the fact that it provided public access to the
public five acre park that was initially planned for the Citrus Park PUD.

MEMORANDUM
August 24, 1989
TO:
Chairman and Members
Planning and Zoning Board
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato
Planning Director
RE:
Citrus Glen Roadway Abandonment Requests
This memorandum supersedes the memorandum to Sue Kruse, Deputy
City Clerk, dated 5 May 1989, reference this subject.
The City Commission has tentatively approved the change in zoning
for the proposed Citrus Park project which lies to the south of
Citrus Glen, and it is likely that final action to approve this
zoning change will occur on 19 September 1989. The approval of
the citrus Park project rezoning negates many of the problems
discussed in the 5 May 1989 memo. Given the changes proposed in
the citrus Park master plan, the Planning Department recommends
the following with respect to these abandonment requests.
1. That the request to abandon the north/south public
street through citrus Glen be approved subject to the
applicant providing a pedestrian/bicycle lihk to tie
into the pedestrian way proposed in Citrus Park.
2. That the reques~ to abandon the east/west collector
road through Citrus Glen which connects Miner Road with
Lawrence Road be denied. This request as proposed is
not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan policy which
reads,
I
"In order to more fully integrate
developments into the City, the City
should require that the major access
roads through developments be dedi-
cated as public rights-of-way."

Ma y 1 7, 1989
To:
From:
Subject:
Street Abandonment Applications for Citrus GLen Drive &
Citrus Avenue
The development if Citrus Glen was planned with the subject roads as
public rights-of-way. Utilities were designed accordingly, with a
water main extending to the southern terminus of Citrus Avenue in
anticipation of extension to the adjoining parcel and possibly also
to Elementary School "P." This would give us a "back-feed" from the
20" water main on Miner Road to all three parcels (i.e., Citrus
Glen, the adjoining parcel, and School "P"). Any change in
right-of-way status which may prevent this from occurring or impede
our access to said water main should be discouraged, and would not
be supported by this department.
At a minimum, sufficient easements must be granted over existing
utilities in the rights-Of-way, and right of access into the secured
area must be guaranteed our personnel on a 24-hour basis so that we
may readily respond to service or emergency situations.
Given that the above conditions can be met, we would have no
objection to the proposed abandonment. We will, however, request
the right to review all easements and the security layout prior to
the actual abandonment approval.

MEMORANDUM
~
5 May 1989
TO:
Sue Kruse, Deputy City Clerk
FROM:
Carmen S. Annunziato, Planning Director
RE:
Citrus Glen Abandonment Requests
The Planning Department objects to these requested abandonments
for the following reasons:
1. These roads as contemplated provide an alternative access
route between Miner Road and Lawrence Road.
2. Section 10, Streets, of Appendix C - Subdivisions, Platting
requires that "The arrangement of streets in new subdivisions
shall provide for the continuation of existing streets in
adjoining areas not subdivided, and the arrangement of
streets in new subdivisions shall provide for the proper
projection of streets. When a new subdivision adjoins
unsubdivided land, then the new street where necessary, shall
be carried to the boundary of the tract proposed to be
subdivided to promote reasonable development of adjacent
lands and provide continuity of street systems."
3. citrus Glen was originally proposed by Allen Miller and
approved in two phases - I and II, by the City. Phase I is
the property currently being developed by the applicant while
Phase II has been taken back by the Sturrock family. Among
the items considered in the review of these developments was
the continuity of street systems and the neighborhood park to
be located in Phase II but serving Phase I as well. Changing
origin and destination opportunities at this time may
constitute a substantial deviation to the previously approved
planned unit development master plan. Furthermore, these
conditions existed when the applicant purchased the property
and the applicant had full knowledge of the public nature of
these roads.
4. Elementary School P is under construction south of and
adjacent to Citrus Glen Phase II. Access to Elementary
School P is from a continuation of the north/south road
through Citrus Glen Phase I and Citrus Glen Phase II to
Lawrence Road. The alignment of this intersection was
negotiated and agreed upon by the School Board, the Sturrock
family and the City, and the agreement reached involved
rights-of-way dedications, easement dedications, utility
~
construction, turn-lane construction and dollar
contributions. Abandonment of these roads would change the
basis for approval of this agreement and review of these
requests by the School Board is recommended.

OF THE COMMUNITIES OF CITRUS GLEN DESIRE TO EXTEND THE SECURITY
SYSTEM APPROVED FOR EXECUTIVE ESTATES (NORTH SIDE) BY THE CITY
COMHISSION, LAST MARCH TO THE ENTIRE DEVELOpr1ENT AS A RESULT OF
AN EXPRESSED INTEREST SHOWN BY POTENTIAL AND ACTUAL BUYERS.
AS IT WAS DISCUSSED AND AGREED DURING THE APPROVAL REFERRED ABOVE,
THE PROVISION OF SECURITY TO CITRUS TRAIL (SOUTH SIDE) IS NOT
EFFICIENTLY FEASIBLE DURING THE PRESENT PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAYS
CONDITIONS OF CITRUS GLEN DRIVE AND CITRUS AVENUE, SOUTH OF CITRUS
GLEN DRIVE. THEREFORE WE ARE REQUESTING THE ABANDONMENT OF BOTH
ROADS FOR THE PURPOSE OF MOVING THE APPROVED GUARDHOUSE TO AN EXTENDED
MEDIAN AT THE LAWRENCE ROAD ENTRANCE OF CITRUS GLEN DRIVE AND PROVIDE
SELF OPENING BARRIERS AT THE MINER ROAD ENTRANCE OF THE SAME. CITRUS
AVENUE WILL BE-LOOPED WITH ORANGE DRIVE. MASTER PLAN MODIFICATION
AND SITE PLAN APPROVAL REQUEST SHOWING THE PROPOSED CHANGES WILL
FOLLOW BY MAY 24. 1989 OR EARLIER FOR JUNE HEARINGS, SIMULTANEOUSLY
WITH THE ABANDONMENT REQUEST.
THE DEVELOPERS CONSIDER THAT THE ABANDONMENT OF CITRUS GLEN DRIVE DOES
NOT AFFECT THE CITY'S ARTERIAL AND INTERCOMMUNITIES SERVICE AND CIRCULATION,
BECAUSE THE DIRECT ACCESS OF MINER ROAD TO LAWRENCE ROAD. THE DIRECT
ACCESS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT TO THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UNDER CONSTRUCTION
IS SEEN RATHER NEGATIVE THAN POSITIVE DUE TO THE FAMILY COMPOSITION
~ AND GROUPS ACTUALLY BUYING. IN THE Cor.1f1UNITIES OF CITRUS GLEN.
