Gulf County approves abandonment of roughly 300 feet of Adventure Avenue
Summary
The commissioners approved a request from JR and JR Holdings LLC to abandon about 300 feet of the northern portion of Adventure Avenue (formerly Saint Joseph Avenue). The planning board recommended approval 5‑0; the county will return a resolution for formal adoption next month.
Gulf County commissioners voted to approve a request from JR and JR Holdings LLC to abandon approximately 300 feet of the northern portion of Adventure Avenue in Port St. Joe.
Planning and development staff presented the request, noting the property is undeveloped woodland and that the Planning and Development Review Board had recommended the abandonment by a 5‑0 vote. Staff said notices were sent to adjoining property owners and a sign was posted on the property; if the commission approves, staff will return a resolution for formal adoption at a later meeting.
A member of the public raised a question about the exact length; the speaker said his own measurements suggested closer to 376 feet, but staff replied the submitted survey shows about 299–300 feet and that the documentation lists the distance as approximate. Commissioners clarified that no through road would be affected, describing the area as a dead‑end segment and noting that no other property owners would be adversely affected.
The motion to approve was made by a commissioner and seconded; the chair announced the motion passed 5‑0. Staff said attorneys will prepare a resolution and advertisement for the final abandonment resolution to return at the next month's meeting.
Next steps: staff will prepare the abandonment resolution and advertise for adoption at a subsequent meeting.
