Pasco commissioners approve vacation of easements in Shooting Star Court to enable two buildable lots
Summary
The board approved a petition from Sunfield Homes and Orsi Development to vacate a portion of an ingress/egress and utility easement affecting Lots 41 and 42 of Shooting Star Court so the developers can create buildable residential lots.
The Pasco County Board of County Commissioners approved a petition to vacate part of a platted ingress/egress easement, a utility easement and rear lot lines affecting Lots 41 and 42 of Shooting Star Court, a move county staff said will allow Sunfield Homes and Orsi Development to create buildable residential lots.
Joanne Riviera of the county’s Real Property Division presented the petition and reported no objections to the vacation. Patricia Buck, representing Orsi Development and Sunfield Homes, told the board the parcel behind the platted lots had been retained for future development when the subdivision was platted in 2002; the developers subsequently split the back tract and propose to attach half of that tract to Lot 41 and half to Lot 42 to create buildable front lots. Buck said the back tract is largely in the floodplain and is not buildable on its own.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about ownership, utilities and whether the rear tract could serve as parkland. Buck said the water and sewer connections for Lots 41 and 42 are at the front lot lines with two stub‑outs already available; the land behind would be conveyed with the front lots and would not be developed as additional buildable lots.
There were no public objections recorded for this petition; a motion to approve the vacation passed on a voice vote with the board recording the approval. County staff will proceed with the administrative steps to record the vacation and update the subdivision plat as necessary.
Why it matters
Vacating the easement removes an obstruction to building pads on Lots 41 and 42 by attaching portions of the previously reserved rear tract to the front lots. County staff said the change lets the developers sell and build the two platted lots in front while the rear tract remains with the front lot owners and is not intended for new standalone development.
Ending
The board approved the vacation petition without recorded opposition; staff will record the necessary plat amendments and easement vacation documents for the county land records.
