Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 16-17 authorizing the abandonment of a public right-of-way located south of Willcox.
Background:
The applicant, Riverview LLP dba Coronado Farms LLP, has requested the abandonment of certain 30.00 foot perimeter easements as indicated on survey entitled Valle Verde Farms recorded in Book 3 of Survey, pages 9-9B and further conveyed in Docket 1603, page 282, and re-recorded in Docket 1609, page 507.
The applicant is currently using the surrounding parcels as a dairy farm and has requested this abandonment for the development of farmland with efficient center pivot irrigation system. Some of the easements are primitive, native surfaced roads that are used as internal connections for daily operations while others have never been developed. These easements are not county maintained roads.
The original application was submitted in September 2015, at that time the transportation planner had concerns regarding the potential breaks in existing access to other parcels not within the ownership of the applicant. The applicant has since purchased the outlying parcels. Adjoining parcel owners have been contacted and have made no objections to the abandonment. Utilities have been contacted and make no objections to the abandonment but wish to retain utility easements for existing facilities. Based upon the applicant’s latest acquisitions and the lack of objections to the abandonment, the Transportation Planner approves this abandonment. Applicant has paid all fees associated with this abandonment.
