Dear Mr. Hoskins,
My name is Joseph Meza. My primary residence is located at 6701 W. Gelding Drive, Peoria AZ. I have
been the homeowner since 1990. My Parcel number is 200-69-001X. It has come to my attention that
the parcel immediately north and which borders my property has been deeded to the state. The parcel
number for this property is 200-69-001W.
Although, I have been maintaining this property (parcel 200-69-001W) since I purchased my home in
1990, I was not aware that I did not own the property. I have since found out that ownership was listed
by a former resident living at a different address within the same subdivision. The parties listed as
owners were Robert Bruce & Jane Scott or may have been Mr. Gary Weinberger (and father) who
originally developed this subdivision located on 6700 West Gelding Dr. Mr. Weinberger and his father
were original developers during the 1970s who wanted to maintain ownership of the street. These
families have since moved out of our subdivision. The 6700 Gelding Dr. is a dead end street which is
currently owned by the residents of this subdivision with the exception of parcel 200-69-001W. We are
planning improvements to the street and it is my desire to acquire ownership of the property.
For the past 26 years I have maintained this same property (200-69-001W) which included maintenance,
repair and resurfacing the street. Additionally, the street is private and not maintained by the city,
county or state. The street is maintained by each homeowner.
As stated above, I was not aware until recently this property had been deeded to the state. Therefore, I
am respectfully requesting that I be allowed to purchase this property so I may continue to maintain the
parcel and street which enters directly into my driveway. Please consider my offer to purchase
property so that I can make improvements to the street and pay taxes on the property. I have included
my bid along with fole - Ligsure costs incurred by the County.
