On September 27, 2016, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2016- 29584, which authorized the City Manager to accept the transfer to the City, via quit claim deeds, of approximately 4,000 linear feet of seawall along Indian Creek Drive from the private property owners adjacent to Indian Creek Drive, so that the City and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) may undertake the construction of a 5.7 NAVD elevation seawall barrier wall to improve street drainage and raise the road elevation for Indian Creek Drive between 25th and 41st. Streets.

During the September 27, 2016 City Commission meeting, several property owners along Indian Creek Drive requested to work with the City to develop a quit claim deed that would also provide easement rights to the upland property owners, to be able to build a dock, or similar structure, in the future, on the water-ward side of the seawalls.

The Mayor and City Commission had no objection to said request but requested that the form document be brought back to the City Commission for approval.  The City has worked with the various land use lawyers to develop a template quit claim deed and easement agreement to allow the dock usage.  The proposed form of the modified quit claim deed and easement agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 .
