Hearing Summary 
Mr. Christopher DePerro, the Abandonment Hearing Officer, called the hearing to order at 9:30 
am on April May 26, 2022.  
Ms. Maggie Dellow, the Abandonment Coordinator introduced the abandonment case ABND 
220022 by reading the Federal Patent Easement Waiver case into the record by stating the 
applicant, location, waiver request, and purpose of the request, as well as City staff research. 
Mr. DePerro then started the discussion by asking the applicant if they would like to add any 
additional comments regarding the abandonment request.  
Ms. Ashley Zimmerman Marsh, the applicant, explained that the proposed area for Federal 
Patent Easement waiver on the north side of the parcel is requested as a clean-up exercise 
following the approved waiver of the easement immediately south which has already been 
waived through the County process. She further explained that the waiver of the easement 
would not result in any landlocked parcels.  
Portion of 33’ wide Federal Patent 
Easement proposed to be waived

Ms. Dellow then reviewed the comments and staff recommended stipulations of approval. Staff 
conferred that the original stipulation requiring removal of utilities or the retention of a public 
utility easement could be removed due to the fact that all utility providers indicated no utilities 
were located in the area.  
The Hearing Officer granted a conditional approval subject to stipulations in the staff report but 
revised to delete the original stipulation #1.
