Project# 99-5497 
 
 
 
 
 
Location: 
 
 
 
 
 
14201 South Presario Trail 
 
 
Applicant:  
Gary King; Earl & Curley 
 
 
Request to abandon:  
To abandon a portions of an open space 
easement, located adjacent to Lot 17, 
addressed 14201 South Presario Trail, 
recorded on residential subdivision final plat 
“Foothills Club West Parcel 15D”. Recorded 
with Maricopa County Recorder’s Office, 
Book 524, Page 08. 
 
  
Purpose of request:  
The applicant states: Original envelope for 
the open space preservation area was 
based on rudimentary calculation of the 
25% slope contour. A more precise analysis 
was conducted for new improvements being 
proposed in 2019; which shows that an 
adjustment of the alignment of the 25% 
slope line is warranted.

City Staff Comments and Recommendations 
. 
 
PDD Civil Reviewer:  There is not any current infrastructure to support a drainage easement.  
Follow future PAPP/PRLM stipulations for future development. 
PDD Planner:  Even though the open space easement area will decrease by approximately 
4,931 SF, increasing the area below the easement line to 42, 277 SF (37,346 + 4,931 SF), it 
does not allow for the entire area to be disturbed.  The disturbance is still stipulated to be in 
general conformance to the site plan dated April 12, 2002 that allows a disturbance of 
approximately 23,680 SF, less area than allowed by right, if they had not been stipulated to be 
in general conformance to the site plan.  Therefore, I do not have any issues with the proposed 
abandonment of the open space preservation easement.   
PDD Traffic Reviewer:  Recommend approval. 
Street Transportation: No comments. 
Street Transportation, Lights: Recommend approval.
