MCDOT agrees to a partial abandonment of the North 28’ of the South 40’ and the West 28’ of the East 40’ of the patent easement. Discussion: Laws 2013, Chapter 46 amended Arizona Revised Statutes, Section 11- 251.16 to allow a county, at the request of a property owner, to abandon a federal patent easement established by the Small Tract Act of 1938. On May 7, 2014 the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (BOS) approved Ordinance No. P-34, adopting procedures for the abandonment of federal patent easements. The Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has considered and processed this request for abandonment in strict accordance with A.R.S. Section 11-251.16 and Ordinance No. P-34. Department Recommendation: Having no known opposition and having not received any written comments in opposition from other County departments, other agencies, any utility or the public, the Department of Transportation (MCDOT), in accordance with Ordinance P-34, is recommending that the BOS approve the abandonment of the North 28’ of the South portion and the West 28’ of the East portion of the patent easement.
