Approve submittal of application to the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) the Application for Land for Transportation and Utility Systems and Facilities on Federal Lands for a portion of the Maricopa Trail, a four foot wide recreation trail connecting our county Parks. This portion is identified as a piece of Segment 11. This Application is an amendment to an existing authorization between Maricopa County Department of Transportation and BLM which was executed in 2003. We are coordinating with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation to work inside their existing easement and amend that easement with BLM. Maricopa County proposes to build this trail inside the easement for roadway purposes obtained by the Maricopa County Department of Transportation in 2003. The proposed trail will be south of the existing roadway. The easement is 674.55 feet long and we require a 10 foot wide easement for the entire length to accommodate construction and maintenance. The current plan calls for construction of this trail in January 2016. There are no known environmental or cultural concerns specific to this land. Additionally, authorize the Chairman to execute and process the subject application documents on behalf of Maricopa County. (C-30-15-023-M-00)
