Information
Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 12-79 to abandon the Kayenta Estates Minor Subdivision Plat and Assurance Agreement.
Background:
TO: Board of Supervisors
For: Michael J. Ortega, County Administrator
FROM: Michael Turisk, Planning Manager
For: Beverly Wilson, Deputy Director Planning Division
SUBJECT: Kayenta Estates Minor Subdivision Plat Abandonment (Docket S-06-02)
DATE: November 16, 2012 for the December 4, 2012 Board of Supervisors Meeting
BACKGROUND
This is a request to formally abandon the Kayenta Estates Minor Subdivision Plat, per the request of the Applicant/Developer, John Scully. Kayenta Estates was approved by the Board in 2007 and is a 27-lot subdivision on 81-acres located northeast of St. David, off of Lonesome Road and just north of Sybil Road. The project was approved under existing RU-4 zoning, but the average lot size is just over three-acres (the Minor Subdivision option allows for lot density bonuses if the Applicant improves off-site streets to County or ADOT standards). The Department’s records indicate that no building permits have been issued and no evidence of lot lines, roadways or other infrastructure exists, so currently this plat exists on paper only.
The plat and Assurance Agreement (the contractual document that guarantees that all improvements would be completed prior to lot release) were recorded on March 11, 2008. Per the Applicant’s request, the Assurance Agreement was extended in 2010 to March 26, 2012, and is now expired.
Although the Applicant has requested abandonment, the County also holds authority through the Assurance Agreement to abandon the plat to reflect the state of the property prior to recordation. After the plat has been abandoned, the property owner is entitled per State law to proceed with subdividing the property, but sell no more than five parcels without a formal subdivision review process.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the plat abandonment for the Kayenta Estates Minor Subdivision, and authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution and Abandonment Plat for recordation purposes.

The Subdivision would remain as platted and lots would be shown on Assessor's Maps. The Assurances guaranteeing improvements would be expired.
