Information

Request/Subject

Adopt Resolution No. 14-10-03 to Extinguish an Easement

Background Information

Gila County Public Works received a petition from Con and Peggy Slusher requesting the extinguishment of a portion of Hash Knife Road in the Tierra Madre Subdivision, Map No. 550. The petition meets the guidelines established by Gila County policy and procedure for the abandonment of County highways, local streets, avenues, alleys and for the extinguishment of easements within Gila County approved by the Board of Supervisors on February 1, 2011.

Tierra Madre Subdivision was accepted by the Board of Supervisors on April 18, 1977. Roads and easements were dedicated to the public. The portion of Hash Knife Road requested for extinguishment is an undeveloped, non-maintained easement between Lots 45 and 46 in the Tierra Madre Subdivision.

There is a note on the plat specific to this easement.

The note states: Easement for future road shall automatically become dedicated Street R/W upon dedication of equivalent and connecting Street R/W on adjacent property and construction to standards acceptable to Gila County for maintenance.

Adjacent property has been developed over the past 37 years and no connecting right-of-way has been dedicated or built to provide connectivity to Hash Knife Road.

Evaluation

Extinguishment of this easement will not deny anyone access to their property.

Conclusion

It is in the best interest of Gila County to extinguish the easement as requested.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of the Public Works Division Deputy Director that the Board adopt Resolution No.14-10-03.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Resolution No. 14-10-03 to extinguish a portion of the Hash Knife Road easement in the Tierra Madre Subdivision, Official Map No. 550, Gila County Records, Gila County, AZ.
