4. Approve Petition to Vacate at 1519/1521 Palmetto Avenue, Lehigh Acres

Lee Board of County Commissioners · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

The Lee Board of County Commissioners is considering a petition to vacate a portion of a public utility easement. This easement is located along the property line between two lots at 1519 and 1521 Palmetto Avenue in Lehigh Acres. The purpose of vacating this easement is to allow for the creation of a unified site for a fence to be built around the perimeter of these two adjacent lots. This item is currently under review by the Board. If approved, the project would involve the removal of the public's interest in the easement, clearing the way for private property improvements. This could lead to work related to site preparation for fencing and potential minor landscaping. Contractors specializing in site preparation, fencing, and possibly concrete work for fence posts could find opportunities. Reaching out to the applicant early could provide an advantage before final site plans and permits are secured.
