C/O Aaron Insco 8768 East Via De Ventura, Suite 390 Scottsdale, Arizona 85258 Delivered via email: ainsco@TollBrothers.com Re: Recommendation of Future MCDOT Right-of-Way – APNs 211-86-978 & 211-86-979 - S240006 Dear Applicant: Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT) has reviewed the request to waive the requirement that the setback lines on the referenced properties be measured from the future half street right-of-way as required by Section 1105 of the Maricopa County Zoning Ordinance. The subject properties are located along two Section Line alignments (Desert Hills Drive and 7th Avenue), requiring the setback lines be measured from a future half street right-of-way of 55-feet for both alignments. Based on previously approved waivers along both alignments and the MCDOT Transportation System Plan 2040 designation of major collector roadways, it is recommended that the requirement for future half street right-of-way be measured as follows: APN 211-86-978 • Desert Hills Drive: 40-feet APN 211-86-979 • Desert Hills Drive: 40-feet • 7th Avenue: 40-feet This recommendation pertains only to future right-of-way needs for a public roadway on the identified alignments and does not consider legal access requirements, easements, drainage, utilities, etc. which still apply to the subject property. If you have any questions on this decision, I can be contacted at (602) 506-6172 or Denise.Lacey@maricopa.gov.
