Information

Request/Subject

Public Sale for a portion of W. Cocopah Lane, Official Map No. 241, Gila County Records, AZ.

Background Information

On November 17, 2015 during a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board gave the approval to begin the process to abandon an unnecessary public roadway being a portion of W. Cocopah Lane. Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board's decision.

A portion of property owner's carport encroaches into the right-of-way of W. Cocopah Lane. Abandoning the portion of W. Cocopah Lane burdened by the encroachment will not affect the traveling public that uses W. Cocopah Lane. The respective property owner has been contacted and given the option to exercise preference rights before the proposed date of sale, or appear at the public sale, and submit a bid for that portion of W. Cocopah Lane.

Janet Mielke has submitted a bid in the amount of $52 for this portion of W. Cocopah Lane. 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

Cocopah Lane was known as Arrowhead Drive on the Geronimo Estates Unit One Plat. Geronimo Estates Unit One was recorded in April 1960. West Cocopah Lane is a dedicated public road which is 40 feet in width. Abandoning this portion of Cocopah Lane burdened by the encroachment will not affect the traveling public that use W. Cocopah Lane.

Conclusion

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

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Director recommends that Gila County accept the bid from Janet Mielke.

Suggested Motion

Cocopah Lane, which is adjacent to Lot 14, Geronimo Estates Unit One, north of Payson as shown on Official Map No. 241, and to accept the bid in the amount of $52 from Janet Mielke for that portion of W. Cocopah Lane. (Steve Sanders)
