Utility Comments 
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 for APN 215-42-035 in Phoenix, AZ. Based upon the 
supplied drawings/exhibits that you’ve submitted it has been determined that COX has no 
facilities within the 12” Waterline 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.  
 
Southwest Gas – Susan R. Mulanax 
After reviewing the documents for the above-referenced abandonment, it has been determined 
that there are no apparent conflicts between the Southwest Gas system and your proposed

is granted to abandon the right-of-way located at the above-referenced location.
