SECTION 3. Reservation of Location of Mapped Streets for Future
Public Acquisition: After adoption of that portion of the comprehensive plan
involving a major street plan for an area, the City Council may direct the
Zoning and Planning Board to make or cause to be made surveys for the
exact location of the lines of a street or streets in any portion of the area
and to make a plat of the territory thus surveyed, showing the land which it
recommends be reserved for future acquisition for public streets.
The Zoning and Planning Board, before adopting any such plat, shall
first obtain the approval of the City Engineer and the City Planner, then
hold a public hearing thereon with due public notice.
After such hearing the Zoning and Planning Board may transmit the
plat as originally made, or modified to the City Council, together with the
Zoning and Planning Board's estimate of the time or times within which the
lands shown on the plat as streets location should be acquired by the City.
Thereupon by Ordinance, the City Council may approve and adopt or may
reject any such plat, or may modify it with the approval of the Zoning and
Planning Board, or in the event of the Zoning and Planning Board's dis-
approval of the modification, the City Council may, by a favorable vote of
not less than four -fifths (4/5) of its entire membership, modify such plat and
adopt the modified plat. In the Ordinance adopting such plat, the City Council
shall fix the period of time for which the street locations shown on the plat
shall be deemed reserved for future taking or acquisition for public use.
Said period of time not to exceed twenty (20) years. Upon such adoption, the
City Clerk shall transmit for recording in the public records, one approved
copy of the plat to the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Brevard County and retain
one copy for the purpose of public examination. Such approval and adoption
of a plat shall not be deemed the opening or establishment of any street, nor
the taking of any land for street purposes nor public use, nor as a public
improvement, but solely as a reservation of the street locations shown
thereon, for the period specified in the ordinance of the governing body for

future taking or acquisition for public use. The Zoning and Planning Board
or any other official or agency of the City may, at the direction of the City
Council negotiate for or secure from the owner or owners of any such
lands releases of claims for damages or compensation for such reservation
or agreements indemnifying the City for such claims by others, which
releases or agreements shall be binding upon the owner or owners executing
the same and their successors in title.
At any time after the filing of a plat with the Clerk of the Circuit
Court or other recording official, and during the period specified for the
reservation, the Zoning and Planning Board acting upon the instructions of
the City Council and the owner of land containing a reserved street
location may agree upon a modification of the location of the lines of the
proposed street, such agreement to include a release by said owner of any
claim for compensation or damages by reason of such modifications; and
thereupon the Zoning and Planning Board may make a plat, corresponding to
the said modification and transmit the same to the City Council and if such
modified plat be approved by the City Council the City Clerk shall transmit
for recording an approved copy thereof to the Clerk of the Circuit Court
and said modified plat shall take the place of the original plat.
After obtaining recommendations from the Zoning and Planning
Board and holding public hearings with due notice, the City Council may,
by ordinance, abandon or amend any reservation and shall certify such
abandonment or amendment to the County Clerk or other rec ording official.
SECTION 4. Buildings in Reserved Street Locations: After street
locations have been reserved, as indicated in Section 3 of this Ordinance,
no building permit shall thereafter be issued for construction or alternation
of any building in the bed of any such steet, nor shall any building be in the
bed of any street, nor shall any buildings be built therein; provided,
however, that if the land within such mapped street is not yielding a fair
return on its value to the owner, the Zoning and Planning Board shall have

power in a specific case by the vote of a majority of its members to
recommend to the City Council that a special permit be issued for a build-
ing in such street which will as little as practicable increase the cost of
opening such street or tend to cause a change in the comprehensive plan,
and such board may recommend reasonable requirements as a condition of
granting such special permit. Before taking any action authorized in this
Section, the Zoning and Planning Board shall hold a public hearing and with
due public notice, at which parties in interest and others shall have an
opportunity to be heard, and thereafter the recommendations of the said
Board shall be submitted to the City Council for determination.
SECTION 5. If any portion or portions of this ordinance are held
to be unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such holding
shall not affect the remaining portions hereof.
SECTION 6. This ordinance shall take effect immediately upon
its adoption.
