Agenda Item Text:
Adopt Resolution 19-02 authorizing the abandonment of a dedicated public right-of-way within Mescal Lakes Unit II, known as a portion of Dorothy Avenue described in Exhibit A.
Background:
Larry Hubbard applied for the abandonment of public right-of-way known as Dorothy Lane in 2016. Adjoining property owners and local utilities were contacted to give comment on the proposed abandonment. Mescal Fire Department required an emergency gate be included in the site plan to allow emergency vehicle access to Meadowlark Drive from Dorothy Lane. The applicant and Cochise County entered into an agreement that full abandonment of the right-of-way would be contingent upon providing said emergency access.
In October 2018, the County received a letter from John Moran, Mescal-J6 Fire District Fire Chief, stating “Mescal-J6 Fire District will no longer require an all weather access road from N. Dorothy Avenue”. Cochise County and the Applicant now agree to eliminate that condition of transfer from the agreement and now request a full abandonment of the subject right-of-way.
Area utilities have been contacted and have made no objections to the abandonment.
Land Purchase Fee was determined to be $9,300.00. Applicant has paid all fees associated with this abandonment.
Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
The described portion of Dorothy Avenue will remain a dedicated public right-of-way.
