Shaine T. Alleman, Tiffany & Bosco, P.A. / North Pioneer Road 
Storage, LLC     
 
Request: 
Special Use Permit (SUP) for commercial storage and outdoor 
parking of recreation vehicles, boats, and travel trailers on a Rural-
43 zoned parcel 
 
Site Location: 
Generally located 3,000’ northwest of I-17 and Daisy Mountain Dr. 
in the Anthem area 
 
Site Size: 
Approximately 39.94 acres 
 
County Island Status: 
Yes 
Additional 
Comments: 
 
 
• 
The applicant is requesting an SUP to allow commercial outdoor storage and parking of 
recreation vehicles, boats, and travel trailers on a nearly 40-acre Rural-43 parcel. The site located 
west of the I-17 Black Canyon Fwy. between the Daisy Mountain Dr. and Anthem Way 
interchanges. It is accessed via 41st Dr. The property has a history of sand and gravel extraction 
and contains an existing 1980s-era residence. It is surrounded on all sides by vacant Arizona 
State Land Department (ASLD) property. 
 
• 
The site would provide 1,994 parking spaces and would be remotely operated with no permanent 
on-site security, monitored by camera and regular management visits. The applicant requested 
modifications to Rural-43 development standards that are included in the Commission’s 
recommendation - increased setbacks, and crushed asphalt in lieu of standard paving.  
 
• 
Water and wastewater service will be via existing well and an on-site septic system. 
 
• 
The site is designated Scenic Corridor under the Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan. The 
property is not visible from I-17 due to a raised earthen hill between the storage area and the 
freeway. Staff supports approval primarily due to the site’s isolation from any developed 
properties. ASLD commented in February 2025 requesting that proper commercial screening be 
maintained to account for potential future residential development of their surrounding land, 
and that no vehicles taller than 6 feet be stored within the modified setback areas. Prior to

construction permitting the applicant must provide documentation from ASLD confirming legal 
access. These conditions are included in the Commission’s recommendation. 
 
• 
Staff received one letter of opposition noting the increasing number of RV/boat storage facilities 
in the area and their cumulative impacts. There are no outstanding concerns from reviewing 
agencies.  Commissioner Rochwalik voted against the SUP due to concerns over the development 
not being appropriate near potential rapid residential growth nearby. 
 
• 
A simple majority of the quorum is required for SUP approval. 
 
Commission  
 
Recommendation: 
On 4/9/26, the Commission voted 7-1(motion by Commissioner 
Toma D4, seconded by Commissioner Leighton D4 with 
Commissioner Rochwalik 
dissenting) 
to 
adopt 
a motion 
recommending the Board of Supervisors approve SU250007 
subject to conditions ‘a’ -‘i’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled “Off-
17 RV and Boat Storage”, consisting of 3 full-size sheets, dated October 29, 2025 except as 
modified by the following conditions. Staff may determine slight refinements to remain in 
substantial conformance with the approved site plan. Minor and major amendments to the 
site plan will be determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the Maricopa County Zoning 
Ordinance. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report 
entitled “Off 17 North Storage”, consisting of 7 pages, dated July 2025, except as modified 
by the following conditions. 
 
c. 
This special use permit is valid for a period of 10 years and shall expire on May 6, 2036 or 
upon termination of the use for a period of 90 or more days, whichever occurs first. All site 
improvements associated with the special use permit shall be removed within 90 days of 
such expiration or termination of use. 
 
d. 
Prior to construction permitting the applicant shall provide documentation from the Arizona 
State Land Department showring legal access to the site. 
 
e. 
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply: 
  
1. First-Flush retention volumes must be provided prior to building permit issuance. First-
flush volume must be drained through infiltration. 
 
2. Work within the Deadman Wash SFHA will require a Floodplain Use Permit issued 
concurrently with the Building Permit through PND. 
 
3. Applicant is responsible for procuring any required permissions needed for site access 
and access improvements. 
 
4. Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only. All 
development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 1205 of the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; Floodplain 
Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; and current

May 6, 2026 
SU250007 
Page 3 of 4 
engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of application for 
construction. 
 
5. Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, changes to the 
site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the drainage 
infrastructure. 
 
6. Detailed Grading and Drainage Plans must be submitted with the application for Building 
Permits 
 
7. Noncompliance with any Maricopa County regulation shall be grounds for initiating a 
revocation of this zone change as set forth in the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance.  
 
f.  following Rural-43 SUP standards shall apply: 
1. Minimum Side Setback: 40'  
2. Minimum Street-side Setback: 40'  
3. Minimum Screening: 8’ CMU  
4. Minimum Pavement: Crushed Asphalt  
5. Vehicle Height Restriction: No vehicles taller than 6 feet in height may be stored within 
the side or street-side setback areas.  
6. Lighting: All lighting must be fully shielded and directed downward so that no light 
trespasses beyond the parcel. 
 
g. 
The following Rural-43 SUP standards shall apply: (1) Minimum Side Setback: 40’. (2) 
Minimum Street-side Setback: 40’. (3) Minimum Screening: 8’ CMU. (4) Pavement: Crushed 
Asphalt. (5) Vehicle Height Restriction: No vehicles taller than 6 feet in height may be stored 
within the side or street-side setback areas. (6) Lighting: All lighting must be fully shielded 
and directed downward so that no light trespasses beyond the parcel. 
 
h. 
Prior to occupying the existing residence or any portion thereof for any use associated with 
the Special Use Permit, the applicant shall obtain a Building Permit to retrofit the existing 
residence to meet current commercial building code requirements as applicable and shall 
obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the retrofitted building prior to occupancy.  
 
i. 
The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, 
with the consent of the landowner.  The granting of this approval allows the property to 
enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, 
subject to conditions.  In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, the property 
may be considered for reversion to the zoning that existed on the date of application in 
accordance with Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance requirements.  It is, therefore, 
stipulated and agreed that reversion of the zoning due to the failure to comply with any 
conditions does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application to use, divide, 
sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value of the property 
from the value it held on the date of application due to such reversion of the zoning.  This 
zone change enhances the value of the property above its value as of the date the zone 
change is granted, and reverting to the prior zoning results in the same value of the property 
as if the zone change had never been granted.

Project Summary: 
 
1. 
The applicant is requesting an SUP to allow commercial outdoor storage and parking of 
recreation vehicles, boats, and travel trailers. The nearly 40-acre site is located within the Daisy 
Mountain/New River Area Plan and is accessed via 41st Drive which extends from Opportunity 
Way on the west side of Anthem. The property has been used for sand and gravel extraction 
operations and contains an existing residence constructed in the 1980s. The site is surrounded 
by vacant Arizona State Land Department property. 
 
2. 
The site would consist of 1,994 parking spaces and would be remotely operated. There will be no 
on-site permanent security. However, the property would be continuously monitored with on-site 
security camera surveillance and regular visits to the property by the business manager and/or 
its representatives. 
 
3. 
The applicant requests modifications to Rural-43 development standards including increased 
building setbacks, chain-link fencing in lieu of solid screening, and crushed asphalt in lieu of 
standard pavement. The setback requests are due to the existing home on the property being 
adjacent to the parcel line. The nearest road on the east is the I-17 freeway, thus making the east 
parcel line a streetside setback. These modifications are reasonable based on the site's isolation 
and lack of adjacent development.

Access is provided via 41st Drive, an existing unimproved dirt road that traverses the property 
from south to north. The road crosses Arizona State Land Department property. The applicant 
indicates they will work with ASLD to establish legal access and ensure proper roadway 
maintenance. The applicant proposes surfacing the access road and storage areas with 
compacted asphalt millings.

Adopted Plans: 
 
7. 
Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan (Adopted 2019): The property is located within the “Scenic 
Corridor” land use designation area. This area describes a roadway with recognized high quality 
visual amenities that include background vistas of mountains, open country, or city. The narrative 
does not address consistency with area plan policies. It should be noted that the property is not 
visible from the highway as it is set up on a hill with the car park unable to be seen beyond the 
hilltop. 
 
Public Participation Summary: 
 
8. 
The applicant has conducted public outreach including notification letters to property owners 
within 300 feet and parties on the interested parties list. Staff has received one letter of opposition 
which notes the increasing number of RV/boat storage facilities within the area and their negative 
impacts. The applicant stated they will also coordinate with Arizona State Land Department 
regarding the proposed use and access arrangements. 
 
9. 
ASLD provided comments on the application in February of 2025. They requested changes to the 
following items but otherwise have not commented on the proposal since that time: 
 
a. The County’s Zoning Code base standards referenced should be maintained as 
surrounding STL may be developed. 
 
b. ASLD is opposed to the proposed modification of screening from the Zoning Code 
specified six-foot CMU to an 8-foot precast wall with a 20-foot setback. Should STL 
develop in the future, the site should be provided with visual screening and shielding from 
potential noise. 
 
c. If vehicles taller than the 6' screen wall are to be permitted, we want those setbacks to 
remain. Consider stipulating that no vehicles taller than 6-feet in height can be stored 
within the modified setback area.  
 
d. There is no comment on the proposed modification to crushed asphalt so long as noise 
standards and dust control/nuisance abatement measures along with a 6-foot solid 
screen can be met. 
 
e.  Narrative Page 8: A raised earthen hill is depicted and it should not be presumed that the 
existing condition of STL will remain as STL adjacent to the subject site may develop in 
the future. 
 
Outstanding Concerns from Reviewing Agencies: 
 
10. 
N/A 
 
Staff Analysis: 
 
11. 
Staff is recommending approval on this item primarily due to the property's isolation. It is 
surrounded by vacant Arizona State Land Department property. It is of low impact to the scenic 
corridor as the site is not visible from I-17 or near the populated areas of Anthem. Staff concurs 
with ASLD that the approval should account for potential future development of surrounding State

SU250007 
Page 6 of 7 
Trust Land and supports incorporating ASLD's requested conditions to ensure compatibility if 
adjacent parcels develop. 
 
 
Recommendation: 
 
12. 
Staff recommends the Commission adopt a motion recommending that the Board of Supervisors 
approve SU250007 subject to the following conditions ‘a’ – ‘i’: 
 
a. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Site Plan entitled 
“Off-17 RV and Boat Storage“, consisting of 3 full-size sheets, dated October 29, 2025 
except as modified by the following conditions. Staff may determine slight refinements to 
remain in substantial conformance with the approved site plan.  Minor and major 
amendments to the site plan will be determined in accordance with Chapter 3 of the 
Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. 
 
b. 
Development of the site shall be in substantial conformance with the Narrative Report 
entitled “Off 17 North Storage”, consisting of 7 pages, dated July 2025 except as modified 
by the following conditions. 
 
c. 
This special use permit is valid for a period of 10 years and shall expire on May 6, 2036 or 
upon termination of the use for a period of 90 or more days, whichever occurs first. All 
site improvements associated with the special use permit shall be removed within 90 days 
of such expiration or termination of use. 
 
d. 
Prior to construction permitting the applicant shall provide documentation from the 
Arizona State Land Department showring legal access to the site. 
 
e. 
The following Planning Engineering conditions shall apply:  
1. 
First-Flush retention volumes must be provided prior to building permit issuance. 
First-flush volume must be drained through infiltration. 
 
2. 
Work within the Deadman Wash SFHA will require a Floodplain Use Permit issued 
concurrently with the Building Permit through PND. 
 
3. 
Applicant is responsible for procuring any required permissions needed for site 
access and access improvements. 
 
4. 
Engineering review of planning and/or zoning cases is for conceptual design only. 
All development and engineering design shall be in conformance with Section 
1205 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance; Drainage Policies and Standards; 
Floodplain Regulations for Maricopa County; MCDOT Roadway Design Manual; 
and current engineering policies, standards and best practices at the time of 
application for construction. 
 
5. 
Based on the conceptual design nature of the information submitted, changes to 
the site layout may be necessitated by the final engineering design of the drainage 
infrastructure. 
 
6. 
Detailed Grading and Drainage Plans must be submitted with the application for 
Building Permits

SU250007

f. 
The following Rural-43 SUP standards shall apply:  
1. 
Minimum Side Setback: 40' 
2. 
Minimum Street-side Setback: 40' 
3. 
Minimum Screening: 8’ CMU 
4. 
Pavement: Crushed Asphalt 
5. 
Vehicle Height Restriction: No vehicles taller than 6 feet in height may be stored 
within the side or street-side setback areas. 
6. 
Lighting: All lighting must be fully shielded and directed downward so that no 
light trespasses beyond the parcel. 
 
g. 
Noncompliance with any of the conditions assigned to the approval of this Special Use 
Permit by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors may be grounds for revocation in 
accordance with the requirements and procedures as set forth in the Maricopa County 
Zoning Ordinance.  
 
h. 
Prior to occupying the existing residence or any portion thereof for any use associated 
with the Special Use Permit, the applicant shall obtain a Building Permit to retrofit the 
existing residence to meet current commercial building code requirements as applicable 
and shall obtain a Certificate of Occupancy for the retrofitted building prior to occupancy. 
 
i. 
The granting of this change in use of the property has been at the request of the applicant, 
with the consent of the landowner.  The granting of this approval allows the property to 
enjoy uses in excess of those permitted by the zoning existing on the date of application, 
subject to conditions.  In the event of the failure to comply with any condition, and at the 
time of expiration of the Special Use Permit, the property may be considered for revocation  
to the zoning that existed on the date of application.  It is, therefore, stipulated and agreed 
that either revocation due to the failure to comply with any conditions, or the expiration of 
the Special Use Permit, does not reduce any rights that existed on the date of application 
to use, divide, sell or possess the property and that there would be no diminution in value 
of the property from the value it held on the date of application due to such revocation or 
expiration of the Special Use Permit.  The Special Use Permit enhances the value of the 
property above its value as of the date the Special Use Permit is granted and reverting to 
the prior zoning results in the same value of the property as if the Special Use Permit had 
never been granted.

Maricopa County – Special Use Permit 
 
 1  
Purpose of Request 
The purpose of this submittal is to request the approval of a Special Use Permit (the “SUP”) 
Application. The subject property is currently owned by North Pioneer Road Storage LLC 
and consists of approximately 40 acres located at 40415 N. 43rd Avenue, Phoenix, Arizona 
85086 and is identified with Maricopa County Assessor Parcel Number 203-10-001 (the 
“Property”). The attached Context Aerial Maps (see Exhibits A & B) have been included to 
illustrate the location of the Property and the surrounding area.  
Over the past several years, there has been increased demand in this general area for 
outdoor parking/storage for all types of vehicles, including recreation vehicles and boats. 
The Property provides a prime location for the allowance of an outdoor parking/storage 
area to accommodate this demand from residents in the north Phoenix and Anthem areas.  
The Property is currently zoned Rural-43 (RU-43). Section 1301.1.15 of the Maricopa 
County Zoning Ordinance (“MCZO”), allows for the approval of a SUP for the “commercial 
storage, or impoundment of automobiles, motor vehicles,…travel trailers, recreation 
vehicles, (and) boats…on sites of not less than one acre.” As such, the Applicant is 
requesting the approval of a SUP to allow for the outdoor storage of the types of vehicles 
listed in the MCZO. 
Description of the Property 
The Property is currently within the jurisdiction of Maricopa County and is zoned Rural-
43 (RU-43). The Property is located within the Daisy Mountain/New River Area Plan. In the 
past decades, the Property has used for sand and gravel extraction uses and there is a 
residential building on the Property that was built in the 1980’s. 
It should be noted that to the east of the Property between the Property and the Interstate 
17 there is a large earthen hill that blocks the view of the Property from those driving on 
the freeway.  
The following is the surrounding land use context: 
• North:   
o Jurisdiction: Maricopa County  
o Zoning: 
RU-43 
o Land Uses: 
These properties are owned by the Arizona State Land 
Department (“ASLD”) and are vacant with a minor wash. 
• East:     
o Jurisdiction: Maricopa County 
o Zoning: 
RU-43 
o Land Uses: 
These properties are owned by the ASLD and are vacant. 
Interstate 17 (Black Canyon Freeway) is located approximately 1,000’ from 
the east Property boundary.

• West:  
o Jurisdiction: City of Phoenix 
o Zoning: 
S-1 (Ranch or Farm Residence) 
o Land Uses: 
These properties are owned by the ASLD and are vacant. 
• South:   
o Jurisdiction: Maricopa County 
o Zoning: 
RU-43 
o Land Uses: 
These properties are owned by the ASLD and are vacant. 
Overall, the surrounding properties have been vacant and have not been used for 
development. The Applicant recognize that due to ASLD owning all of the surrounding 
parcels it is likely that development will not occur in this area for a very long time. As such, 
the Applicant is proposing an interim use that can be used while any future land uses in 
the area are contemplated. Annexation into the City of Phoenix is not appropriate at this 
time as 1) the proposed use does not need City of Phoenix utility services, 2) the Special 
Use Permit is a for an interim, temporary use, and 3) future uses will be established for 
the area and further dictate the long term direction of this Property.  
N. 41st Drive is an existing unimproved dirt road that extends from the north and south 
boundaries of the Property. The developer intends on working with ASLD to ensure that 
adequate access is established to the Property for the proposed uses. From the south, N. 
41st Drive extends to the south and connects to the Interstate 17 at W. Pioneer Road 
(approximately 2 miles south). Thus, the Property is perfectly located close to prime access 
areas that are associated with the proposed use. 
Description of Special Permit Use Request 
As shown on the provided Conceptual Site Plan Layout (see Exhibit C), the outdoor storage 
areas will be on both sides of N. 41st Drive Road within the Property. The vehicle storage 
spaces will be designed to accommodate a variety of vehicles and trailers that will be 
stored on the Property. Drive aisles will be designed to meet the required widths and drive 
maneuverability, which will allow for the vehicles to adequately maneuver throughout the 
Property. 
All on-site vehicles and trailers will be secured on-site with the Property being 
encompassed by a 6’ (minimum) chain-link perimeter fence. The Property will not need a 
screen wall since the Property is screened to the east by a large earthen hill that blocks 
any views to the Property from the Interstate 17 freeway and there is no other 
development in the surrounding area. Retention will be designed per engineering 
requirements during the SUP Application process. Additional details regarding the 
Property retention can be found in the Preliminary Drainage Plan provided with this SUP 
Application.

To alleviate dust and sound concerns that could be created by vehicles on the Property, 
the Property storage areas will be covered with compacted asphalt millings. The N. 41st 
Drive that will be used for accessing the Property from the south (i.e. outside of the 
Property limits) will also be compacted with asphalt millings.   
There will be no on-site permanent security. However, the Property will be continuously 
monitored with on-site security camera surveillance and regular visits to the Property by 
the business manager and/or its representatives.  
Proposed Modifications to RU-43 Development Standards 
As noted, the underlying zoning on the Property is RU-43. As part of the SUP, the 
Applicant is requesting a modification to a few of the development standards to 
accommodate this interim storage use. Below is a table outlining the proposed 
modifications to the RU-43 development standards (shown in bold).

The screening modification to chain link fence recognizes that there are no adjacent 
properties that are developed. Thus, the proposed interim use does not require screening 
or paving that is normally associated with these types of developments next to developed 
residential uses.

Since the adjacent properties that could be affected by these modified standards are 
vacant with no signs of any development in the future, due to access and infrastructure 
issues, these modified standards are justified for the proposed SUP interim storage use.  
Location and Accessibility/Circulation 
Access to the Property will be from the existing N. 41st Drive that enters at the south end 
of the Property, traverses on the Property, and exits to the north. The Property owner 
intends to only use the south access point from N. 41st Drive for ingress and ingress access 
to the Property and vehicles will not be able to access the Property from the north exit 
point.  
The Property owner will work with ASLD to establish legal access and ensure that 
roadways are properly maintained per ASLD’s requirements. The access roads and vehicle 
parking storage areas will be covered with asphalt millings, which will significantly reduce 
any current issues of dust and noise that are associated with this unimproved dirt road. 
This will greatly improve the situation for the surrounding areas. 
Relationship to Surrounding Properties 
This Property is located in an area that is surrounded by vacant land with no future plans 
to development in near or far future. Since there are no other land users in the area that 
could be affected by this proposed interim storage use, we do not anticipate there being 
any negative effects to the surrounding area.  
Community Facilities and Services 
This development will have little impact on municipal services as the development will use 
the existing well on the Property for water and will be installing a septic tank that can be 
used on site.  
Public Utilities and Services 
Due to the interim use, as described above, the proposed SUP is not in need of any water 
or sewer utility services to the Property. However, a private well is located on the Property, 
which is being used by the existing residential house on the Property.   Electricity for the 
Property will be provided by APS. 
Public Outreach and Response to Citizen Input 
The Applicant will conduct a thorough public outreach effort for the proposed SUP 
Application during the review process.  These efforts will include letters to property 
owners within 300’ of the Property and the interested parties list as set forth by Maricopa 
County. The Applicant will also work with ASLD and its Real Estate Division to discuss the 
proposed use and to ensure adequate access to the existing right-of-way (i.e. N. 41st Drive) 
on ASLD property. The proposed outreach process will be addressed within a Citizen 
Participation Plan that is provided with this SUP Application.

Conclusion 
The proposed SUP will allow for uses that are compatible with the surrounding area while 
improving an underutilized Property. The SUP will not materially impact the surrounding 
area in a negative way and the Applicant will work with the County departments during 
the SUP Application process to ensure proper compliance.  
We look forward to continuing to work with Maricopa County on this project and the 
forthcoming SUP Application and permitting. We welcome your feedback and continued 
guidance as we move forward.

I am opposed to the proposed zoning change from R43 to C-2
CUPD. I also oppose the combination zone change of C-2 and
SUP. The is currently more than adequate RV/ Boat storage
available in the surrounding area. The proposed zoning change
is inconsistent with the rural, residential, and horse property of
the surrounding area. A major issue/concern is the availability
of an adequate water supply and drainage. The proposed
commercial rezoning is consequently unacceptable.

Dear Joel,
I hope you are well. We met with the applicant regarding Special Use Permit Case No. SU250007 and understand
that the TAC meeting for this project was held.
ASLD requests that the existing development standards be upheld for screening and setbacks requirements.
Residential use is consistent with the existing State Trust Land (STL) land use designations and zoning. While no
applications have been received for purchase within this area, ASLD has fielded several inquiries from residential
developers for the surrounding STL. ASLD is opposed to modification of the existing development standards as
previously noted, including setbacks and solid screening due to the potential for future development.
Should there be any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Thank you,

Dear Joel Landis,
Thank you for the public notice regarding SU250007. The subject site is surrounded by State Trust Land (STL) on
all four sides and ASLD has received interest from developers in purchasing the surrounding STL for residential
development. Accordingly, ASLD’s comments are below.
1.       Narrative Page 4:
a.       The County’s Zoning Code base standards referenced should be maintained as surrounding STL
may be developed.

b.       ASLD is opposed to the proposed modification of screening from the Zoning Code specified six-
foot CMU to an 8-foot precast wall with a 20-foot setback. Should STL develop in the future, the site
should be provided with visual screening and shielding from potential noise.
c.       If vehicles taller than the 6' screen wall are to be permitted, we want those setbacks to remain.
Consider stipulating that no vehicles taller than 6-feet in height can be stored within the modified
setback area. 
d.       There is no comment on the proposed modification to crushed asphalt so long as noise
standards and dust control/nuisance abatement measures along with a 6-foot solid screen can be
met.
e.       Narrative Page 8: A raised earthen hill is depicted and it should not be presumed that the
existing condition of STL will remain as STL adjacent to the subject site may develop in the future.
 
2.       Narrative Page 5: The project narrative indicates that the applicant will work with ASLD to establish
legal access to the site. Please note, while a road may exist, it does not appear that there is any legal access
to the site currently. The proposed road alignment may also change and or/may affect the proposed point
of access. If the County is to require the roadway to become a public road, please condition that the road
be paved. Otherwise, the aggregate should be fine. ASLD’s ROW team may be contacted at
RWS@azland.gov regarding easement information and inquiries. ASLD ROW’s section reviews easement
requests.
We are happy to discuss any of our comments. Please feel free to reach out if there are any questions.
