Approve the abandonment of that portion of the Patent Easement as proposed

allow a county, at the request of a property owner, to abandon a federal patent 
easement established by the Small Tract Act of 1938.  On May 7, 2014 the 
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 received no objection to the full abandonment MCDOT recommends 
approval as follows: Abandon the East 33 feet, EXCEPT the North 55 feet 
thereof; and The South 33 feet, EXCEPT the East 33 feet thereof; all within the 
E2 NW4 NE4 NE4 of said Section 13.
