BACKGROUND AND PREVIOUS ACTIONS
The city acquired the Property generally located on the west side of Estrella Parkway between Maricopa County Route 85 (MC 85) and the Buckeye Water Conservation Drainage District canal (Property) upon which the city has developed facilities and continues to develop plans for additional facilities to support city services. The improvements that have been developed on the Property include, by way of example but not limitation, water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment facilities, a dog park, a public works administration building, fleet facilities, storage facilities, and a BMX park. The city has plans for the continued development of city-owned and operated improvements on the Property. As the Property continues to be developed, the city will be constructing improvements to provide vehicle access to the Property from MC 85 and certain city-owned utility improvements required to serve portions of the Property.
STAFF ANALYSIS
It is anticipated that the State of Arizona will acquire a portion of the Property for the construction of a new State Route 30 that will include portions of the city Property the city needs to provide access to the Property from MC 85 and to construct utilities needed for the city to serve the Property. The creation of this easement provides notice of the city’s need for continued access and use of the Property, and will ensure any future acquisition of portions of the Property will be subject to the city's easement.
