DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
This is a request to approve a Deed of Easement between Marion County and Michael Vecchio providing for a permanent, non-exclusive right of ingress and egress over a portion of parcel 23304-000-02 acquired by Marion County associated with the NW/SW 80th Avenue and West Highway 40 Intersection Improvement Project. Parcel 23304-000-02 was acquired from Mr. Vecchio. Mr. Vecchio was granted a right of access according to a Stipulated Order of Taking and Final Judgement, Case Number 2025-CA-0573 filed on August 16, 2025, and a Mediated Settlement Agreement, dated June 20, 2025. This Deed of Easement records that grant of access as required.
Mr. Vecchio owns the adjacent parcel (parcel 23304-000-00) to the north of the acquired parcel. Previously he accessed his parcel from the County right-of-way of SW 80th Avenue and through a portion of the acquired parcel. Aside from the permanent right of ingress, egress and access over a portion of parcel 23304-000-02, this easement stipulates that the County will provide Mr. Vecchio access to his property, including temporary driveway connections, during construction of the intersection improvement project, including construction of associated drainage piping and drainage retention facilities. The easement also allows the County temporary use of a portion of Mr. Vecchio’s parcel for the aforesaid construction activities.
