The agent for Largo Pointe Townhomes, Juan Perez of Moraitis, Cofar and Karney, is requesting to abandon a
roadway portion of a 270-foot long unimproved roadway and utility easement located on the north side of
Southwest 19th Avenue, approximately 400 feet east of Congress Avenue. This abandonment request was
submitted on February 27,2004. It is described as follows:
Tract A of "Christian Villas PLAT No.2", according to the Plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book
40, Page 102 of the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida.
The location map attached as Exhibit "A" shows the general vicinity of the portion of the road easement to be

The following is a description of the zoning districts and land uses of the properties that surround the subject
easement.

Developed professional office building (Woolbright Professional Building), zoned
Community Commercial CC-3);
South -
Developed single-family residential (Palm Beach Leisureville), zoned Single-family
Residential (R-1AA);
East

Residential CR-1AA); and
West -
Developed multifamily residential property (Christian Villas), zoned Multi-family
Residential (R-3).
BACKGROUND
On June 20, 2003, the City approved the site plan for the Largo Pointe Townhomes. Largo Pointe is to consist of
20 fee-simple townhouse units on 1.97 acres. The units are allocated to three (3) separate buildings, all two (2)
stories in height. Two (2) of the buildings contain six (6) units and the largest contains eight (8) units (see Exhibit
"B" - Site Plan).
The Plat of Christian Villas Plat No. 2 established Tract A as a dedicated 30-foot wide roadway and utility

easement as recorded in Plat Book 40, Page 102 of the Public Records of Palm Beach County, Florida.
Since the current roadway easement is no longer necessary in the design of the proposed site plan, and the re-
plat of Largo Pointe provides sufficient roadway for ingress and egress, the applicant proposes to vacate the
unnecessary roadway portion of the 30-foot wide roadway and utility easement while retaining a utility easement
to preserve access to existing and future utility lines. This utility easement is located at the easternmost six (6)
units building of the project.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Chapter 22, Article III, Section 4, public notice was given to the property owners that abut the
easement to be abandoned, all utility companies have been notified and the request has been advertised in the
newspaper. A summary of the responses from the utility companies and city staff is as follows:
