Agenda Item Text:
Approve Resolution 13-16 authorizing the abandonment of the Winwood Addition to Bisbee Subdivision, per the request of owner Freeport McMoran, Incorporated.
Background:
BACKGROUND
This is a request to formally abandon the Winwood Addition to Bisbee Subdivision Plat, per the request of the owner Freeport McMoran, Inc. The Winwood Addition to Bisbee was platted in 1908, to provide worker housing for the mining industry. The neighborhood never fully built out, and has been mostly unoccupied for the last several decades. Over the last 30 years, the Phelps Dodge company petitioned for abandonment of roads and easements associated with the Winwood Addition to Bisbee. Portions of the streets within the subdivision were abandoned in 1987 (Resolution 87-86); several public rights-of-way and utility easements were abandoned in 1994 (94-86); Sidney Avenue and utility easements were abandoned by the Board in 1996 (96-25); and Winwood Road and all remaining public rights-of-way and utilities were abandoned in 2002 (02-44). What remains of the Winwood Addition to Bisbee are the individual lots themselves. The owner now asks to have these lot lines extinguished.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve the plat abandonment for the Winwood Addition to Bisbee subdivision, and authorize the Chairman to sign the Resolution and Abandonment Plat for recordation purposes.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
If the Board approves the abandonment, the next step would be for the Board Chair and other staff as indicated to sign the Resolution, and the Abandonment Plat.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If the Board does not approve the request to abandon, the Winwood Addition to Bisbee parcel lines will remain. Streets, public rights-of-way and utilities have previously been abandoned.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
If the Board approves the request, after the Resolution and Abandonment Plat are signed, please return the documents to the Community Development Department for recordation.
