BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The city of Goodyear acquired approximately 155 acres of real property generally located at the southwest corner of MC 85 and Estrella Parkway, commonly known as the city of Goodyear Public Facilities Campus, which was dedicated by the Minor Land Division and recorded on August 16, 2007, in instrument 2019-0634812 (the “City Property”). The westerly neighboring property owner, DIV Sarival Partners LLC, is currently developing land that is adjacent to the City Property. As such, they’re required to dedicate certain right-of-way to the city to meet development standards. DIV is constructing a section of 159th Avenue and is dedicating property to the right-of-way needed for the section of 159th Avenue being constructed. A portion of 159th Avenue that is being constructed is located on city-owned property, and DIV Sarival Partners LLC have asked the city to declare 6,595 square feet of its property as right-of-way.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The property being declared as right-of-way is currently a dirt road used to provide access to the city's property. The City Engineering staff have confirmed that the portion of the City's Property, described and depicted in Exhibit A of Resolution No. 2025-2481, is needed for the section of 159th Avenue being constructed in support of the development of DIV's property. The construction of the section of 159th Avenue is to preserve the city's access to MC-85 and to install utilities within the easement area. The declaration is reserving a utility and access easement.
The Real Estate staff is requesting the Council to adopt Resolution No. 2025-2481 attached hereto as Attachment A with Exhibit A.
