Subject: PAB-0125 Update to the Application Review Results Letter 
 
 
Dear Ms. Waggoner, 
 
The Application review period for potential abandonment of the Federal Patent 
Easement on the property identified as Assessor Parcel Number 220-08-011E, tracking 
number PAB-0125 concluded on April 24, 2020. MCDOT issued a review conclusion 
letter on April 27, 2020.  
 
The April 27, 2020 review conclusion letter noted that CenturyLink objected to the 
abandonment. MCDOT has since received the following updated response from 
CenturyLink: 
 
Utilities: CenturyLink has re-reviewed the abandonment request and has determined 
that it has no objection with respect to the areas proposed for abandonment. This 
supersedes the response sent to MCDOT on April 24, 2020. 
 
There are no changes to the other results described in the original letter.  
 
NOTE: Be advised, all reviewing entities reserve the right to change their original 
review position, which may affect the final recommendation to the Board of 
Supervisors to approve or deny the Application.  
 
The attached materials will be presented to the Board of Supervisors for approval at 
an upcoming meeting. For additional information on the Board of Supervisors process, 
please refer to the MCDOT website (https://www.maricopa.gov/775/Abandonment-
of-Patent-Easements) or contact me as indicated below. 
 
 
Sincerely,
