The request was also routed to outside utility companies for their input. Listed below are the 
responses from each utility. 
Cox – Zach Lawson 
I have reviewed the abandonment request at ABND 250020 4507 N 45TH AVE, in Phoenix, 
{Maricopa County}, AZ. Based upon the supplied drawings/exhibits that you’ve submitted it has 
been determined that COX has no facilities within the easement and therefore we approve your 
request to abandon. 
 
Please note that although Cox Communications approves this abandonment, we do so with the 
understanding that we will not assume any construction, relocation and/or repairs costs 
associated or in result of this abandonment. 
 
If I can be of further assistance, please contact me at az. 
 
Southwest Gas – Susan R. Mulanax 
After reviewing the plans for the above-referenced project, it has been determined that there are 
no apparent conflicts between the Southwest Gas system and your proposed abandonment of 
the public utility easement. Southwest Gas would like to recommend abandonment of the public 
utility easement located at the above-referenced location.

Therefore, APS has no objection.
