Winter Haven adopts resolution accepting utility easement for Breeze Apartments
Summary
The commission adopted Resolution R‑25‑51 to accept a new utility easement and release prior utility easements for the Breeze Apartments, a 102‑unit development; staff reported no direct financial impact and recommended approval.
The Winter Haven City Commission on Monday adopted Resolution R‑25‑51 to accept a new utility easement for a 102‑unit multifamily project known as the Breeze Apartments and to vacate certain prior city reserved utility easements on the property.
City staff explained the easement, submitted by Breeze SBE LLC on May 15, 2024 and recorded Aug. 5, 2024, will allow the city to operate and maintain sanitary infrastructure related to the development. According to staff, the new easement replaces existing public easements and lies outside the footprint of the new building. Staff recommended approval and said there is no direct financial impact to the city.
The full resolution title, read aloud by the city attorney, cites the recorded instruments in the Polk County public records and references prior city resolutions (R‑00‑28 and R‑22‑07) that described related administrative corrections. The commission opened and closed the public hearing with no speakers and adopted the resolution by voice vote.
The action authorizes the city manager to take any further actions necessary to implement the conveyance and the easement acceptance; staff noted the easement was reviewed by the city engineering services division and found adequate for acceptance.
Next steps: none specified beyond ministerial steps for recording and execution of related documents.
