Home My WebLink About1995 - Drainage on AlbatrossCity of Sebastian 1225 MAIN STREET o SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 0 FAX (407) 589-5570 TO: Richard B. Votapka, P.E. Public Works Director Director FROM: Tim Smith '/•9 - Engineering / Public Works Technician DATE: October 31, 1995 SUBJECT: Albatross Side Lot Ditch, or Lack of Same On October 23, 1995 at 7:30 a.m., Randy from Code Enforcement, informed me of a problem with a resident backing his boat in and out through the swale causing swale damage. I told Randy an auxiliary driveway would be required for boat access but that I would check it in the field anyway. 585 Albatross is a new house experiencing severe standing water problems due to a side lot ditch being omitted by General Development Corporation when the area was developed. The ditch was intended to go between lots 13 & 14 of block 264. Please find attached a copy of the drainage map for the Albatross Terrace / Croquet Lane Water Shed area. Also, a copy of a field report dated October 23, 1995, as well as a sheet showing existing elevations of culverts in relation to lot numbers. After some investigation, I found the owner of lot 13 owns lot 14 as well. The owner constructed a garage on lot 14 after being granted a "Unity of Title" for lots 13 and 14. When the garage driveway culvert elevation request came through the Engineering Department, the omitted ditch was discovered. Jerry Thomas was the temporary Public Works Director at the time. I brought this problem to his attention before I set driveway culvert elevation stakes, asking him how I should proceed. Page 2 of 2 Albatross Side Lot Ditch, of Lack of Same After some discussion out in the field we determined that due to the "Unity of Title" for lots 13 and 14, the best location for the side ditch was between lots 14 and 15. As you can see from the existing field elevations I set the driveway culvert for the garage accordingly. The issue died at this point. Now, with the drainage problem at the new house at 585 Albatross we can address the long standing drainage problems for the Albatross / Croquet drainage area.

Hill RE: Legal Status of Easement in Unit 10 (Lou 13-14,-264-10) DATE: November 7, 1995 VIA: Telefax 407 723 4092 A question has arisen on whether the City does have easements for side lots in Unit 10; the side lot ditch that drains about 14 acres is missing, and there is no easy way to drain the area unless the City ditches between two lots that are under common ownership (house on one lot, garage on another). By copy of this easement, we respectfully request Ms. O'Halloran to see if the record reflects that the side lot easement between 13 and 14, Block 264, Unit 10, was abandoned. The cover page for Unit 10 (PB 6, P 37, IRCo) has the following language with respect to drainage Casements: "...(deals with rights of way)... reserving to the GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, it successors and assigns, the reversion or reversions thereof whenever discontinued by law. Unless otherwise indicated, a strip of land 10 feet wide at the rear of each lot and 6 feet wide at the sides of each lot, and a strip of land 20 feet wide at the lot line abutting to and adjacent to a canal, waterway, or drainage right-of- way, is reserved by the GENERAL DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION or its assigns for the installation and maintenance of public utilities and drainage facilities, with the following exception (deals with corner lots)..."

Cemco Homes on Lot 25-272-10 3, Tozzolo Homes on Lot 1-188 DATE: November 7, 1995 VIA: Telefax 589 5770 As we discussed today regarding the above: TMITHONE: 1 407 779 3002 TELEFA:c 1 407 569 9303 1. Albatross @ Croquet Missing Culvert: We need to see if there is a legal easement between the garage and house on the two `united' lots. If so, then the City will have the right to insist on digging a ditch there per the original plans. If the Owner wants it piped, it should be a this cost. If there is no easement (or the easement was abandoned), then the intersection drainage will have to be rebuilt. If there are no easements in this plat (rights not owned by the City), then the City will either have to procure an easement, and either ditch or pipe it. This is a ±14 acre basin, and very flat, so it needs to be rebuilt with bigger pipes. We will contact Mr. McClelland to see what the status of the easement is. 2. Cemco Homes on Lot 25-272-10: We have asked Kevin Smith to redesign the drainage to drain to the from, and resubmit. 3. Tozzolo Homes on Lot 1-188-6: We advised Wayne Tozzolo about the 3:1 requirement, and he agreed to field stake for inspection before moving any earth.

In reviewing my file, the most recent correspondence was a copy of a memo to Cliff McClelland Regarding the legal status of Lots 13-14, Block 264, Unit 10, dated 10/7/95. The memo asks Mr. McClelland to check with Ms. O'Halloran to see if there is any record of an abandonment of easement. After the inquiry by a concerned resident, I called the City Clerk's office, and they provided me with a memo stating that there is no record of an abandonment of easement for the above mentioned lots. I can provide you with a copy if you wish. Before I respond to the resident, could you mail or fax something to me in writing indicating any progress or the current status of this particular drainage issue? (My records may be incomplete). Thank you for your attention on this matter. /lk albatross City of Sebastian 1225 MAIN STREET 13 SEBASTIAN, FLORIDA 32958 TELEPHONE (407) 589-5330 13 FAX (407) 589-5570 MEMO To: Tim Smith, Engineering/Public Works Technician From: Kay O'Halloran, City Clerk/ O, I Subject: Vacation of Easement I- �1 Date: September 13, 1996 The vacation of easement files have been searched, and we do not show any of the easements on Lots 13 & 14, Block 264, Sebastian Highlands Unit 10 as being vacated.

Hill RE: Drainage Easement Between Lots 13 & 14, Block 264, Unit 10 DATE: October 1, 1996 VIA: Telefax 589 5570 The City Clerk's office has no record of the abandonment. Before proceeding further, we suggest that either the City or the Owner of the Lots 13-14 research the Public Records to see if there was an abandonment by the City. I would point out that a unity of title is filed by the Owner, not the City, and does not, in and of itself, abandon any affected easment As you may recall, and as indicated by copy of our file data enclosed herewith for your perusal, there was a question raised by the former City Attorney as to whether the City actually is successor to the easements reserved by GDC. While this may be legal nit-picking, it could come into play if `push -comes -to -shove' on this one location. If there is no abandonment, it should be a matter of setting policy now as to whether the City will bear the expense of rerouting the drainage to the east, to flow between Lots 14 and 15, or shall the City exercise its right to open a ditch in the easement? Does the City assume that this Owner filled the ditch, and thus has some responsibility? While this firm has no particular favor of either decision, the City may wish to consider that, in lieu of an open ditch in the easement between 13-14, that the Owner may wish pay the costs to install a culvert (z 36';± $6,000). The easement, in this case would remain. Alternatively, the City might wish to sell the easement to the Owner of 13-14, to help defray the costs of rerouting the drainage to tine east. Your own survey, based on assumed datum, indicates that, at the very least, the driveway for the garage must be rebuilt with a sunstantially larger pipe at proper grade. Once these policy issues are settled, we can readily advise you concerning the engineering issue as to the proper design for either location, Lots 13-14, or 14-15. & Associates, Inc.
