Continuing down Prosperity Farms Road we come to another scenario. Houses on Inshore and South Shore Drive in Palm Beach Gardens. These houses are located on what is referred to as an “unrecorded plat“
In this location when the land was subdivided there must have been some sort of an issue, I suspect with the road width, so a plat could not be recorded. The issue is that the canals are not clearly identified.
If you look at the legal description of these lots it’s NOT lot X shown on plat as recorded in Book XXX and Page YYY. And when you look at these houses on PAPA you can see that the lots go right to the centerline of the canal. This is a problem. One can create overflowed lands in Florida BUT how does one control the overflowed lands of the neighbor between you and the ‘Navigable Water’ you need to get to with your boat? Who will dredge it? When will it be dredged? Who will pay for it to be dredged? Can I cross over the submerged lands of my neighbor to get me and my boat out to ‘Navigable’ water?
Fortunatly for folks living in this community some of thee questions are answered in an easment recorded in Official Record Book 96 Page 490.
