NATURE OF REQUEST
The applicant and contract purchaser, Jeffrey 1. Schnars, is requesting to abandon a portion of the 20-foot
wide alley located between N.E. 8th Avenue and N.E. 9th Avenue. This request to abandon a public alley was
submitted on November 11, 2002. This abandonment is for the following unimproved platted alley segment:
A portion of that certain 20-foot alley lying between Lots 21,22,23 and Lot 20 in Block 4, Lake Addition to
Boynton, according to the plat thereof as recorded in Plat Book II, Page 71 of the Public Records of Palm
Beach County, Florida.
The location map attached as Exhibit "A" shows the general vicinity of the street right-of-way to be abandoned.
The attached Exhibit "B"- "Proposed Abandonment" shows the location of the subject property and includes a
detailed location of the alley to be abandoned and its legal description.
The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that surround the subject
request.

dedicated to the perpetual use of the public, reserving unto the developers or successors the right of reversion
if not used as such.
The properties located on the east and west sides of the alley segment to be abandoned are under a purchase

contract by the applicant Jeffrey T. Schnars. The applicant has the intention of vacating the 20-foot alley to
consolidate the property and facilitate the development of an office / retail project (see Exhibit "C"- Site Plan).
Specifically this area will be used for the driveway for the proposed site plan. The 20-foot wide alley as shown
on the survey will be converted to a utility easement equivalent in width to the existing alley. When abandoned
the lot/easement will revert to the adjacent property owners.
