CITY COMMISSION STAFF REPORT
AGENDA ITEM: Request to vacate portions of West 14th Street and Laurel Way
(Tulip Street) within the Hidden Paradise subdivision and Atlantic
Beach Section "H" subdivision
SUBMITTED BY: Sonya Doerr, AICP, Community Development Director
DATE: June 17, 2002
BACKGROUND: A Final Plat for the Hidden Pazadise subdivision was approved in January of
.this yeaz, and the project is currently under construction. The developer, by way of the attached letters,
has requested that the West 14th Street right-of--way, extending west from Laurel Way (formerly Tulip
Street) be vacated, and also that the a small portion of Laurel Way of way be vacated. This area is
indicated as "remaining right-of--way" at the end of Laurel Way on the attached Final Plat. Pursuant to
Chapter 177, F.S., if closed by the City, one-half of these rightof--ways would automatically convey to
the abutting property owner. Tn other words, twenty-five feet of the 14th Street right-of--way and all of
the remaining Laurel Way/tulip Street right-of--way would be conveyed to the developer. (Existing
drainage easements would be maintained.)
Staff from the Public Works, Utility and Planning Departments and the City Manager have considered
this request and have inspected the site and the surrounding area. Staff cannot support this request to
vacate existing right-of--ways within this area. Closure of these streets would preclude construction of
any future connection of Tulip Street southwazd to West Plaza. Drainage issues as well are a concern
within this area, and these existing roadways may. be needed in the future to address drainage and'
stormwater management needs. Provision for central sewer service to all existing lots within the
Section "H" area is also a concern.. Staff cannot presently determine that the 14th Street right-of-way
would not be needed for this purpose.. Any action by the City that would promote the future use of
private well and septic systems in this area would be inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
Further, the platting and street pattern within this western portion of the City consists of rectangulaz
blocks with a continuous inter-connecting street pattern. While not all of these streets have been
opened, this area is designated by the Comprehensive Plan for low-density residential use, and the area
is zoned RS-2. There aze wetland and environmental issues that would be subject to state permitting in
some locations; however, this general area appeazs to contain significant amounts of land that is suited
for development and redevelopment.
RECOMMENDATION: Motion to deny a request to vacate portions of West 14th Street and
Laurel Way (Tulip Street) within the Hidden Pazadise subdivision and Atlantic Beach Section
"H" subdivision.
ATTACHMENTS:. Proposed final plat for Hidden Par dise subdivision.

City of Atlantic Beach
800 Seminole Road
Atlantic Beach, FL 32233-5445.
.Dear Mayor Meserve:
As you are aware, we are currently completing the development
of Hidden Paradise, along the marsh, at the end of Levy Road in
West Atlantic Beach. It has been a pleasure to work with you
and the able employees of the City of Atlantic Beach.
BESTCON, Inc. would like to respectfully request that the City
of Atlantic Beach consider closing and abandoning the remaining
right of way of West 14`~ Street, west of Tulip Street, as shown
on the enclosed survey. Nearly the entire portion of 14s' Street,
west of Tulip Street is shown on the survey as "wetlands". We
see that the purpose of this right of way could be served as well
as enhanced by transferring ownership to the adjacent Lots 13,
Tract "A" and 25 in Hidden Paradise, and the Lots directly south
of West 14s` Street.
At present, there is a drainage way in the right of way (directly
south of Hidden Paradise) that is.maintained by the City of
Atlantic Beach. We would suggest that the City could still
complete this maintenance, if the deed was transfer ed. It is our
understanding that all utility. and drainage easements would
remain in tact, with title being conveyed to the adjacent lots.
in ely(( yours,
W~~«""~

Dear Mayor Meserve:
As you are aware, we are currently wmpleting the development
of Hidden Paradise, along the marsh, at the end of Levy Road is
West Atlantic Beach. It has been a pleasure to work with you
and the able employees of the City of Atlantic Beach.
BESTCON, Inc. would like to respectfully request that the City
of Atlantic Beach consider closing and abandoning the remaining
right of way of Tulip Street, north of West 14`" Street and south
of the end of Laurel Way, as shown on the enclosed survey. At
.the present, Laurel Way has been built as a cul-de-sac, and will
need no modification.
We see that by closing the road, there would be no "though"
traffic, resulting from any future .development south of 14's
Street, thereby protecting the residents and family members from
unnecessary vehicular traffic. A cul-de-sac by its very nature
promotes traffic to. but not throueh a subdivision. We would
propose that this street end closing would perpetuate the "family
friendly" atmosphere that we have tried to create in Hidden
Paradise.
It is our understanding that all utility easements would remain in
tact, with title being conveyed to the adjacent two lots, 7 and 13.
