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 as
requested.
