RESOLUTION ABANDONING A PORTION OF AN UNIMPROVED 50-FOOT RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR MASSACHUSETTS DRIVE LYING BETWEEN BLOCKS 1 AND 2 OF FLORAL PARK, LOCATED EAST OF CONGRESS AVENUE AND NORTH OF HYPOLUXO ROAD. (P.O.P. 421670) DENIED 2-24-98 MOTION to DENY the resolution. Motion by Commissioner Newell and seconded by Commissioner Marcus. Commissioner Roberts asked if adopting the resolution would put the right-of-way on Massachusetts Drive onto the tax rolls. Staff replied that it would. Robert Basehart, agent for David W. and Evelyn F. Beal, the property owners who requested the abandonment, said the Floral Park subdivision had been completed. The right-of-way would not be used since there was no need for additional access to the subdivision. He also said that it would conflict with another intersection if the right-of-way were utilized. An abandonment would add more buildable land to the property. Commissioner Roberts was told it would add 25 feet to the property on each side of the right-of-way and owners of the affected lots agreed to the abandonment. Commissioner Newell said that the property had not been on the tax rolls for up to 40 years and denying the abandonment would not make a change. He expressed concern about further commercial expansion east along Hypoluxo Road from Congress Avenue if the resolution were approved. He further stated that he had only found out about the requested abandonment the previous day and had not been consulted about it. Commissioner McCarty said that the land on the corner had caused a lot of controversy with the residents of Floral Park for years. She claimed that residents had been misled about the commercial designation of the land. Commissioner Aaronson asked why Commissioner Newell had not been consulted and Mr. Basehart stated that he had spoken with Commissioner Newell about eight months ago. Commissioner Newell recalled that there had been a brief discussion, but said he had not heard anything further about it. He predicted that the Board would probably not approve any further zoning changes. PUBLIC COMMENT: None UPON CALL FOR A VOTE, the motion carried 6-0. Commissioner Foster absent. 5.E. 1.

He suggested putting the convention center on hold for the time being until the issues had been resolved. Ms. Roberts requested staff to write a letter to the West Palm Beach City Commission and tell them that, if they pursued building an exhibition center, the County would not pursue building an arena. Mr. Aaronson asked staff to prepare a letter addressing the issues of the auditorium, eminent domain, the interconnect and the airport. No backup submitted. 10.G. COMMISSIONER BURT AARONSON 10.G.1.
