At a glance
Based on human (CART) captions; names and numbers may be misspelled.
- What: vacation (VAC26-000014) of 2,992.9 sq ft of street right-of-way at a hammerhead on Southwest 17th Place, between properties at 1724 Southwest 28th Lane and 2841 Southwest 17th Place.
- Where it stands: approved by the Hearing Examiner on October 20, 2026.
- Next: City Council action; the seawall must be built within 12 months of approval.
The proposal
- Purpose: build a seawall linking two existing seawalls to stop canal bank erosion and silt washing into the waterway, and to keep access to an existing wastewater pipe and a gas main. Underlying easements are not vacated.
- Glenn Julius said the washed-out bank looks bad and silt collects under his boat; a contractor will build the wall and clear the area, with only plantings on top.
- A neighbor and co-applicant also agrees to the conditions.
Conditions
- Subsurface utility survey of the wastewater and gas mains with the seawall permit; seawall within 12 months (extensions by the public works director); structures at least 7 feet from the wastewater main; owner pays any relocation or repair.
- A gas utility's no-objection letter was obtained the morning of the hearing, an unusual step staff took after spotting a line nearby (presented by Patrick Carlton White).
