Status:
Approve the grant of a Property Agreement, License, Donation of Property and Resolution to the Florida Department of Transportation, for a portion of Fox Trail Elementary School.
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), in exercising its right of eminent domain, has petitioned The School Board of Broward County, Florida, for a twenty-five foot (25') strip of easement land along the northern boundary of the school site adjacent to State Road 84, representing 19,343 square feet of land area. The Circuit Court of the 17th Judicial Circuit in and for Broward County, Florida has issued an Order of Taking for the 25 foot easement area.
As a result of this taking, staff reviewed the construction plans and determined that the standard sidewalk and curbing does not provide adequate safety measures for the students as currently existing. In negotiation with FDOT on this matter, FDOT agreed to provide a buffer with landscaping, sidewalk and a fence along the northern right-of-way line of the school, if the School Board dedicates an additional seven and one half feet (7.5'), approximately 7,079 square feet, to provide for these improvements.
FDOT is also requesting a License to enter upon the Fox Trail Elementary School grounds during the construction period, but no later than July 2014, for sloping, grading, tying in, harmonizing and reconnecting existing features with the highway improvements.
The Department of Transportation will execute this agreement after School Board approval.
This Agreement has been reviewed and approved as to form and legal content by the Cadre Attorney and the School Board Attorney.
There is no financial impact to the school district; therefore this item does not require a collaboration form from the Capital Budget Department.
