I have reviewed the abandonment request at ABND 240019 APN 172-12-068A & APN 172-12-
086A in Phoenix, {Maricopa County}, AZ. Based upon the supplied drawings/exhibits that 
you’ve submitted it has been determined that COX has no facilities within the easement and 
therefore we approve your request to abandon.   
 
Please note that although Cox Communications approves this abandonment, we do so with the 
understanding that we will not assume any construction, relocation and/or repairs costs 
associated or in result of this abandonment.

utility easement located at the above-referenced location.
