67. QUIT CLAIM DEED FROM MARICOPA COUNTY TO THE CITY OF PEORIA Approve and execute a Original Quit Claim Deed from Maricopa County to the City of Peoria. This Quit Claim Deed identifies right-of-way for Thunderbird Boulevard that has been annexed by Peoria by Resolution 225 approved by Peoria City Council on January 25, 1977 and Resolution 89-40 approved on December 19, 1989. The City of Peoria developed a project to install Americans With Disability Act (ADA) compliant sidewalk ramps at 94th Drive and Thunderbird. During the course of the project development it was determined that what Peoria had thought was an annexation of the existing south half-width of 55 feet for Thunderbird Boulevard turned out to be private property. As a result, the City of Peoria entered into a condemnation action with the Lewis M. and Diana M. Westover Estate Trust (CV2015-005848) to resolve that issue and construct the ADA ramp. As part of the Westover condemnation case Maricopa County was a named Defendant and subsequently disclaimed interest in the case. As part of the completion of that case and to clarify any potential future ownership disputes pertaining to the south half-width of Thunderbird Road lying 330 feet westerly of 94th Drive, the City of Peoria is seeking that Maricopa County Quit Claim any interest in said south half-width as legally described in the Quit Claim Deed. The County Attorney Civil Division along with the Real Estate Division reviewed this request with the Maricopa County Department of Transportation and it was determined that the Department of Transportation did not have any interest in the south half-width of Thunderbird Boulevard in this location and would support Quit Claiming interest in said portion of the roadway. Supervisor District 4. (C-64-16-043-M-00)
