City Council Report | Izzo Abandonment
BACKGROUND
General Plan
The General Plan Land Use Element designates this area as suburban neighborhoods. This
category includes single family uses along with ancillary school, recreational and
cultural/institutional uses.
Character Area Plan
The property is located in the Shea Character Area. Site planning that is sensitive to
environmental features is encouraged through open space links and preservation, a Scenic
Corridor, single story buildings adjacent to the Shea Scenic Corridor, retention of washes in a
natural condition, and conformance with the ESLO.
Zoning
The site is zoned R1-43 ESL, Single-family Residential Environmentally Sensitive Lands. The
subject property is not located in a subdivision and was annexed into the City of Scottsdale in
1975 through Ordinance No. 891.
In 1991, the Environmentally Sensitive Lands (ESL) ordinance was adopted as an amendment to
the Hillside District overlay. The current ESL overlay took effect in 2004. The ESL ordinance
categorized this site within its most current zoning; Residential Single-Family, Environmentally
Sensitive Lands, Foothills Overlay (R1-43/ESL).
Context
The subject property is located at 12229 E. Cactus Road. The site is generally located 300 feet
east of the N. 122"'^ Street alignment, on the south side of the E. Cactus Road alignment. Please
refer to context graphics attached.
The subject 40-foot right of way located along the northern boundary of 12229 E. Cactus Road
was dedicated in September of 1958, through patent serial number 114968. Additionally,
through that same recordation there was a 25-foot roadway easement dedicated upon lot 99 at
12229 E. Cactus Road, along its northern property boundaries.
Related Policies, References:
2008 Scottsdale Transportation Master Plan
Scottsdale General Plan 2035
APPLICANT PROPOSAL
Development Information
This request is to abandon the existing 40-foot right of way adjacent to the northern boundary of
the parcel and abandon the existing 25-foot roadway easement contained within the property
located at 12229 E. Cactus Road. Abandonment of this excess right-of-way will allow the land to be
absorbed into the single-family lot to allow more site plan flexibility, as much of the lot contains
a large wash. In addition to the abandonment of these two segments, the applicant will be
responsible for dedicating the necessary easements as described in Resolution No. 13641.

indicated that there are no conflicts with the proposed abandonment and are in support of the
abandonment.
Community Impact

roadway easement abandonment (see the Applicant’s Narrative). City staff has also conducted
a mailing to property owners within 750 feet of the proposed roadway easement abandonment.
The mailings were in addition to site postings conducted with the abandonment process.
Communications were received regardingthe proposed abandonment application.
Policy Implications
The compensation amount has been compiled by City of Scottsdale staff in accordance with
abandonment valuation procedure. The valuation methodology is prepared as if the land is
available for development at its highest and best use under the current zoning designation. The
owner has agreed to one of the following conditions to satisfy the abandonment compensation:
1. The owner of the parcel has agreed to pay to City the total amount of $5,065.82 for the
Abandonment Right-of-way, in addition to any application fees or other amounts related
to this resolution and in addition to any other amounts payable to City.
OR
2. The owner has agreed to complete the full (half-street) road improvements for the
remnant portion of E. Cactus Road and its associated 90’ radial cul-de-sac. Said
Page 3 of 5

Narrative
lot 99 McDowell Acres
AKA-12200 E Cactus Rd
Izzo-Cactus abandonment
This is my request for the abandonment of Cactus Rd on the North
side of my property and also remove the utility easement.
This portion of Cactus Road dead ends at my property. The road will
never be used as a traveled road and there will be no utilities
needed other than to my property. My lot is at the end of any further
development.
My intent is to clean up the area and restore it back to the beauty of
the natural desert. As it is now, there is abandoned debris from foot
traffic leading to the Lost Dog Trailhead, illegally dropped boulders
and rocks, fire hazard from dead brush and overgrowth.
Abandoning and acquiring this piece of land will be beneficial to the
city of Scottsdale, the adjacent neighbors/neighborhoods and
myself to increase my lot size and be able to care for the land
adjacent to my property.
My intent is to keep this as one R1-43 lot without any lot split in the
future.
Thank you very much,
John Izzo

RESOLUTION NO. 13641
A RESOLUTION OF THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SCOTTSDALE.
MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA ABANDONING, SUBJECT TO CONDITIONS
AND RESERVATIONS. CERTAIN INTERESTS IN A PORTION OF THE PUBLIC
RIGHTS-OF-WAY FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 12229 E. CACTUS ROAD.
(12-AB-2022)
(Izzo Abandonment)
WHEREAS:
A.
A.R.S. Sec. 28-7201, et seq. and A.R.S. §9-500.24 provide that a city may dispose
of a public roadway or portion thereof that is no longer necessary for public use.
B.
Scottsdale Revised Code §2-221 and other applicable laws provide that the City
may dispose of other real property interests.
C.
After notice to the public, the City of Scottsdale Planning Commission and City
Council have held hearings on the proposed abandonment of a certain portion of the street right-
of-way and other interests (collectively the "Abandonment Rights-of-way”).
D.
The Abandonment Rights-of-way and Roadway easement are legally described
on Exhibit “A” and depicted on Exhibit “B” attached hereto, and comprise an area of
approximately 10,131 square-feet.
E.
The Abandonment Rights-of-way and Roadway easement fall within, serve, affect
or are near a parcel comprising approximately 1.7 acres (“Owner’s Parcel”), as depicted on
Exhibit “C” attached hereto.
F.
The Council finds that, subject to the conditions, requirements, reservations and
limitations of this resolution, the Abandonment Rights-of-way are no longer necessary for public
use.
G.
The Council has considered the City expenditure, if any, authorized by this
resolution and the direct consideration that City will receive and finds that there is a clearly
identified public purpose for City’s expenditure, if any, and that City will receive direct
consideration substantially equal to its expenditure.
H.
The Council finds that consideration and other public benefit commensurate with
the value of the interests in the Abandonment Right-of-way being abandoned, giving due
consideration to its degree of fragmentation and marketability, will be provided to City by the
owners of the abutting property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the City of Scottsdale,
Arizona, as follows:
1. Abandonment. Subject to the reservations and conditions below. City’s interests
comprising the Abandonment Rights-of-way are hereby abandoned.

Abandonment Rights-of-way prior to this resolution, if any:

Cactus Road Abandonment Project #156-PA-2022 key code 4D464
Saturday, December 3, 2022 6:18:37 PM
External Email: Please use caution if opening links or attachments!
Dear Mr. Zimmer,
We received notice today that John Izzo is applying to abandon Cactus Rd. on the north side of 12200 E.
Cactus Rd., Lot 99 McDowell Acres 3.
We are the owners of Lot 98, having purchased the lot in 1985 and having lived here since 2003. We
informed John Izzo prior to him closing on the purchase of Lot 99 that should he try to abandon Cactus,
we would oppose it.
Could you please let us know the process and timeline for filing our opposition to this abandonment?
Thank you,
Winnie (602-390-1492) and Richard Stolper

Chris,
I'm reaching out in response to an intent for abandonment received 12/3/2022 on behalf of
Canyon Ridge Homeowners Association, 14 homeowners located at 11923-12184 N 123rd
Way. CC'd is the HOA President, Rosanne Zarmer.
To confirm:
1) The lot owner of 12200 E Cactus Rd is looking to abandon the Road, not the lot, increasing
his buildable lot size
2) The lot is currently zone Rl-43
3) The lot zoning will remain Rl-43 and will not change as a result of the abandonment
4) Maximum buildable heights and easements,etc will not change from what is currently
acceptable on the lot, aside from their ability to develop 45' further North.
Aside from those questions, is there a place for us to follow the development of the lot- permit
requests, etc? The address does not return any information through Maricopa County or City
of Scottsdale searches.
Thank you for any information you can provide.
Natalie Hartman,
Secretary, Canyon Ridge HOA

12-AB-2022 Izzo Abandonment

Hi,
J
My name is Kevin Mitby-Manning and I live at 12133 N 122nd PI. Today I received a
postcard dated 1/25/2023 about a new project proposed to abandon a portion of cactus road
(see case number and case name in email subject).
I have two children, aged 5 and 6, who use the area (while supervised) that is proposed to be
abandoned. If possible I would like the City of Scottsdale to not move forward with this
project. I am available via email or phone (text or call) if you would like to discuss.

Izzo Abandonment Case #12-AB-2022
Monday, March 20, 2023 9:10:51 AM
External Email: Please use caution if opening links or attachments!
HI Chris,
Hope you had a nice weekend. I realized we never sent our "formal" comments opposing the Izzo
Abandonment case, which follow:
1) We purchased our property in 1985. It took almost 19 years to let the area develop and work out the
access issues with the City before we were able to build and move into our home, which we have now
lived in for 19 years. (The City had to provide an easement to access our lot because gated communities
were approved around us.) During that time, after having design and engineering done on our home, the
City reduced allowed building heights and we had to reduce our 2nd story by several feet. We had to
conform to all setbacks and NAOS requirements. Allowing Mr. Izzo to abandon Cactus Rd. north of his
lot, may allow him to build 50-80 feet north of us. While we always expected to have next-door
neighbors, which would affect our view, allowing this abandonment, could have a much more significant
negative impact on our view. Our home is the major asset in our retirement plan.
2) We told Mr. Izzo, prior to him closing on the purchase of the property, that we would oppose the
abandonment of Cactus Rd. north of his property. He knew there was a major wash on the property and
that the buildable land area was very small due to the wash. He knew there were many other prospective
buyers, who after having opened escrow, decided not to purchase the property because of the wash and
limited buildable land area. Mr. Izzo is a licensed realtor and licensed general contractor, who should
have understood better than any buyer, the obstacles he was facing on building on this property.
However, he chose to move forward with the purchase.
We respectfully request that you deny Mr. Izzo’s application for abandonment of Cactus Rd.
Thank you,
Winnie and Richard Stolper
