adopting procedures for the abandonment of Federal Patent Easements. The 
Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has considered and

Having received no objection to the full abandonment MCDOT recommends the 
following: Abandon the East 23 feet of the West 33 feet of the W2 SW4 NW4 
SE4 NW4 of said Section 5; EXCEPT the South 33 feet thereof.
