Information

Request/Subject

Public Sale for a portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street) as shown on Official Map No. 25, Gila County Records, Gila County, AZ.

Background Information

On April 7, 2015, during a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board gave the approval to begin the process to dispose of an unnecessary public roadway being a portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street). Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board’s decision.

There is one parcel of land that abuts the portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street) being abandoned. The adjacent landowners have been contacted and given the option to exercise preference rights before the proposed date of the sale or to appear at the public sale and submit a bid for that portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street) adjacent to their property.

John and Barbara Stemm have submitted a bid in the amount of $209 for the portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street) adjacent to their property. This bid meets the minimum requirements established by the current Gila County policy on the abandonment of roadways in Gila County.

No other bids have been received; however, bids may be accepted at the public sale.

Evaluation

S. Marian Canyon (aka Miami Street) was created when Miami Map No. 3, Official Map No. 29, Gila County Records, was recorded in 1910. This portion of the road serves no purpose and does not provide access to anyone in the area.

The County will benefit from the sale of the road by having the property go on the County’s tax rolls.

Conclusion

Abandonment of this road will not deny anyone access to private property in the area.

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept the bid from John and Barbara Stemm for the subject property.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action for the public sale of a portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street) as shown on Official Map No. 25, Gila County Records, and to accept a bid in the amount of $209 from John and Barbara Stemm for that portion of S. Marion Canyon (aka Miami Street) adjacent to parcel 206-03-175. (Steve Sanders)
