pursuant to Section 177.101(3), Florida Statutes, at the request of AFI
Associates, Inc., and returning a portion of the lands on said plat to
acreage. The legislation makes findings
and abandons certain unopened “paper” roads within the boundaries of the plat
which have not been opened and have not become roads suitable and necessary for
the traveling public and ensures legal access to abutting properties.
Background Information: Florida Statutes authorizes
the governing bodies of counties and municipalities to adopt resolutions
vacating plats of subdivisions and returning property covered by said plat to
acreage upon showing that the applicant for the vacation is the actual owner of
these “paper” roads and that the roads have never been opened for public travel
and do not impede convenient access of any person owning abutting properties or
any land in any other part of the plat.
