SUBJECT:
Legal descriptions for remainder of Old Dixie Hwy.
As you know on July 20, 1993, the City Commission approved the
abandonment of a 100 feet by 10 feet portion of old Dixie Highway
in connection with a request for James Titcomb. In addition to
this action by the City Commission, the Commission directed staff
to process a) an abandonment application for the remainder of Old
Dixie Highway to convert it into a 60 feet wide, right-of-way
(local street), bJ an amendment to the Comprehensive plan Traffic
Circulation Element Support Document (Volume I) to reflect the
functional classification change from an 80 feet wide collector and
c) a ::orresponding change to tl1e 2010 recommended highway design.
Our office is in the process of completing the abandonment
application form, however we need to team-up with the Engineering
Department to prepare legal descriptions for the abandonment
application. If you recall from our initial research during staff
review of Mr. Titcomb's application, the location of the Old Dixie
Highway pavement edge and the location of the right-of-way liae
varies. Additional research, in conjuction with legal description
preparation, may need to be conducted to determine exactly what
area needs to be abandon,O!d to accomplish the Commission's
directive.
Lastly, the feasibility of not changing the 2010 recommended
highway design for old Dixie Highway from a four lane divided
highway to a two lane highway needs to be investigated. It is
uncertain whether the four feet wide encroachment of the roadway
pavement onto the F.E.C. Railroad right-of-way will impact the
drainage design and preclude any future widening to four lanes.
