The Ocala Industrial Park Plat included what is now abandoned railroad right-of-way. The petitioner has submitted a request to abrogate a portion of the abandoned right-of-way, located between SW 15th Avenue and SW 17th Avenue.
Century Link objected to the abrogation unless an easement was retained over the area. All other utility companies and internal departments did not have any objections to the proposed abrogation.

The petitioner shall provide an easement over the abrogated right-of-way.
