Information

Request/Subject

Public Sale for a portion of Elaine Way, Official Map No. 448, Gila County Records, AZ.

Background Information

On December 15, 2015, during a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board gave the approval to begin the process of an unnecessary public roadway being a portion of Elaine Way. Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board's decision.

A portion of property owner's home, stairs, upper deck and another smaller building encroach into the right-of-way of Elaine Way. Abandoning said portion of Elaine Way burdened by the encroachments will not affect the traveling public that use Elaine Way. Said property owner has been contacted and given the option that can exercise preference rights before the proposed date of sale by or appear at the public sale, and submit a bid for that portion of Elaine Way.

Jeffrey Yoder has submitted a bid in the amount of $144 for this portion of Elaine Way. 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

Elaine Way is a dedicated public road forty six (46) feet in width and is adjacent to Lot 9, Christopher Creek Haven, Plat Five. Christopher Creek Haven, Plat Five was recorded in April 1971. Abandoning the portion burdened by the encroachments will not affect the traveling public that use Elaine Way.

Conclusion

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

Recommendation

The Public Works Division Director recommends that Gila County accept the bid from Jeffrey Yoder.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action for the public sale of a portion of Elaine Way, which is adjacent to Lot 9, Christopher Creek Haven, Plat Five, east of Payson as shown on Official Map No. 448, and to accept the bid in the amount of $144 from Jeffrey Yoder for that portion of Elaine Way.
