Re: Request for Juaiter Heights Plat Alley Abandonment
Dear Mr.Sardinha:
I am in receipt of your April 12, 2017 letter requesting a "Letter of No Objection" regarding your
desire to have a portion of the Jupiter Heights Plat alley abandoned. To the contrary, the Village of
Tequesta does object to any abandonment of any portion of the subject alley. The alley continues to
serve a publ.ic purpose and as such is inappropriate for abandonment. In addition to the comments
provided to�ou from the Loxahatchee River District on April 19, 2017 under the signature of its Deputy
Executive Director, Mr. Yerkes, the alley is located within the Village of Tequesta's water service area
and is a beneficiai utility corridor for future water lines.
With the recently approved U.S. Highway #1 improvements that will result in lane reductions
and other improvements to the corridor, the alley will be an important alternative to future disruptions �
of that corridor. Moreover,the abandonment of one small portion of the alleyway for your private use
when the rest of the alleyway remains intact makes no sense from a public purpose standpoint. Either
the alleyway in its entirety remains beneficial for public purposes, or it does not. Carving out ene half of
the alley that is immediately adjacent to your property is not appropriate.
For all these reasons, the Village of Tequesta wilf oppose any attempt to abandon any portion of
the Jupiter Heights Plat alley.
Sincerely,
sar� tfeaal�
Sam Heady,
Deputy Director of Utilities,Village of Tequesta
Vice-Mayor Frank D'Ambra Mayor Abby Brennan Council Member Tom Paterno
