Dear Mr. Cardin:
This is in response to a request from Leigh E. Johnson, of your staff, to review and
comment on the Estrella Mountain Regional Park Master Plan Update (2016-2036) on
lands patented to Maricopa County (02-76-0037, 02-72-0037 and 02-66-0070) under the
Recreation and Public Purposes (R&PP) Act of 1926.
The Bureau of Land Management has reviewed the Master Plan Update and determined
that the proposed improvements are consistent with the R&PP Act and the patents listed
above. It is our understanding that your Department intends on presenting this Master
Plan Update to the Board of Supervisors in the near future. Once approved by the Board,
please notify this office and the appropriate files will be noted with the Master Plan
Update.
If you have any questions, please contact Jim Andersen at (623) 580-5570.
Sincerely,
Edward J. Kender
Field Manager
