Utility Comments 
 
Century Link 
CenturyLink of Arizona, Inc. d/b/a CENTURYLINK (“CenturyLink”) has reviewed the request for 
the subject Vacate/Abandonment and has determined that to protect its facilities CenturyLink 
must deny the request at this time for the 8’ PUE located along the N property line of APN 155- 
14-001A M.C.R. This easement appears to contain CenturyLink equipment. 
 
Lumen has active facilities located within the 8’ PUE project limits – aerial cable and joint utility 
poles. Lumen would abandon the PUE if the owner dedicates a new easement to protect 
Lumen’s existing facilities in place or pays to have them relocated. 
 
It is the intent and understanding of CenturyLink that this vacation shall not reduce our rights to 
any other existing easement or rights we have on this site or in the area. 
 
This vacation response is submitted WITH THE STIPULATION that if CenturyLink facilities are 
found and/or damaged within the vacated area as described, the Applicant will bear the cost of 
relocation and repair of said facilities.

Based upon the supplied drawings/exhibits that you’ve submitted it has been determined that
