Commission approves vacating platted utility/drainage easement for Port Charlotte lot
Summary
By unanimous vote the commission approved Resolution 2026‑R‑07 to vacate certain platted utility and drainage easements (petition PVAC‑25‑02530) to resolve plat language and bring the property into compliance, as recommended by staff.
The commission adopted Resolution 2026‑R‑07 to vacate portions of platted utility and drainage easements affecting lots in the Fort Charlotte subdivision. Adriana Silva, planning and zoning, explained the request by owner Paul Minoto was to vacate 1,380 sq ft of a platted rear 10‑foot utility/drainage easement because the plat book language omitted certain standard unity‑of‑title language; staff and reviewing agencies recommended approval under ULDC §2.2.0.17 and Florida Statutes chapter 177.
There was no public opposition and staff reported written approvals or deemed uncontested responses from affected utility agencies. Commissioner Stokes moved to adopt Resolution 2026‑R‑07; the motion was seconded and passed 5–0.
The vacation corrects recorded plat language to reflect current ownership and resolves conveyancing and permitting issues for the property owner.
