1354 Blythe Avenue - Single Family Home - DRC Approval for Vacation

of Easement

Brandon Hatch, Planner 1, spoke regarding Vacation of Easement Application VE25-0002,

a proposal to vacate a six-foot-wide drainage and utility easement on the rear of the

property at 1354 Blythe Avenue within the R1-A Single-Family Residential Zoning District.

The application was received by staff on June 9, 2025. After multiple rounds of review,

discussion with the utility providers, Public Works, and a staff site visit to the property, Staff

has deemed the Vacation of Easement Application to be acceptable for approval. Staff

finds that Vacation of Easement Application VE25-0002 complies with the City of Deltona

Land Development Code, Comprehensive Plan, and Florida Statutes and recommends

approval under the following conditions:

1. The applicant shall comply with all conditions outlined in the Development Order.

2. A building permit application shall be submitted to, reviewed, and approved by the

Building Department for anything built or existing on the property.

Mr. Hatch also mentioned per LDC; the reporting board, Planning and Development

Director makes the final decision. He also stated that the application is only for the vacation

of easement and that a variance for the rear setback would still be needed for the

accessory structure.

Deputy Utility Director, James Parrish informed the committee of the site being located

within the Blue Springs Basin. He explained the possibility of future plans to construct a

centralized sanitary sewer system in the area. He expressed that the abandoning of the

easement could have an effect on future projects.

Chair Wallace informed the applicant of past vacation of easement processes and the

conditions that may apply if the vacation is approved.

City Attorney Torcivia explained that the City of Deltona would not the support the vacation

of easement due to the possibility of future projects taking place in the area affected.

Motion by Jordan Smith, seconded by John Cox to deny vacation of

easement (VE25-0002) at 1354 Blythe Avenue. The motion carried
