51. AGREEMENT WITH NEWCASTLE DEVELOPMENT LLC, AND KEIGHLEY PLACE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, INC. FOR DRAINAGE EASEMENT Approve and execute Four Original Agreements that identify the roles and responsibilities between Maricopa County and Newcastle Development LLC, an Arizona Domestic Limited Liability Company, and Keighley Place Community Association, Inc., an Arizona Not For Profit Corporation pertaining to acquisition and payment for a Drainage Easement needed for the maintenance of a culvert crossing of Meridian Road. Said proposed Drainage Easement is located on land managed by the Arizona State Land Department for the State Trust. Keighley Place is a residential subdivision located north of Ray Road and west of Meridian Road. The subdivision is located within the City of Mesa and was approved in accordance with the City of Mesa standards and requirements. As part of those requirements the development was required to construct Meridian Road, a portion of said roadway is located in Unincorporated Maricopa County, and as part of Meridian Road it is necessary to pass flows of a wash under the roadway through a culvert. Construction of Meridian Road is a half-street improvement and said half-street improvement is being constructed to monument line which coincides with the boundary between Maricopa County and Pinal County. In order to maintain the culvert crossing it is necessary to have a drainage easement upstream of the culvert, this drainage easement is located in Pinal County on Arizona State Trust Land. The drainage easement is 50 feet in width and 160 feet in length and located approximately 1194 feet north of the intersection of Meridian Road and Ray Road. Since Maricopa County is unable to spend monies on roadways outside of the boundaries of the County it was necessary to enter into an agreement to fund the purchase of the drainage easement from the State Land Trust. State Land is willing to issue a 10-year drainage easement, per this agreement; the developer Newcastle Development LLC will fund that initial 10 year easement and the future renewals of the drainage easement will be funded by the Keighley Place Community Association. In return, Maricopa County will be the applicant to the State Land Department and will maintain said culvert crossing until such time as is no longer needed. (C-64-16-010-M-00)
