REVIEWED BY: Jeffrey B. Richardson
BACKGROUND: Following Board approval on November 8, 2000, the County purchased three parcels along or near Galaxie Farm Lane: Parcels 91-8B, 91-10, and 91-11, referenced in the 2000 Galaxie Farm Deed (Attachment A). Following Board approval on December 18, 2019, the County conveyed Parcel 91-11 to the School Board for a future proposed high school center. Galaxie Farm Lane, over which the County also acquired access in the 2000 purchase, remains the sole access to County-owned Parcel 91-10.
On December 4, 2019, the Board approved a rezoning of two neighboring privately-owned parcels (Parcels 09100000000900 and 09100000001500) from R-1 residential to Planned Residential Development (PRD), a higher density residential development with a mixture of unit types.

The developer has approached the County with a proposed agreement (Attachment C) guaranteeing access across the proposed new alignment in exchange for vacating the existing private access. Once completed, the proposed new alignment would be dedicated as a public right-of-way.
