Information

Request/Subject

Public Sale of a portion of Quail Drive on the Sportsmans Haven (replatted) Official Map No. 311, Gila County Records. Sportsmans Haven is in the community of Roosevelt.

Background Information

On August 15, 2022, during a regular meeting of the Board of Supervisors, the Board directed staff to begin the process to vacate a portion of Quail Drive. Staff began the necessary notifications and public postings of the Board’s decision.

The only adjacent landowner has submitted a bid for a portion of Quail Drive that adjoins his property. The bid meets the minimum requirement established by the current Gila County policy on the abandonment of roadways in Gila County.

Evaluation

Arizona Revised Statute § 28-7204 (D) states, "Abutting owners of record in whom title to a portion of the roadway would vest under section 28-7205 may deliver, at the sale or at any time before the sale, to the clerk or secretary of the governing body or the director, in the case of this state, a written offer to purchase the portion or a part of the portion for the consideration paid for the land by the city, town, county or state, whichever first acquired the land within the roadway for public use. If an offer is submitted in a timely manner, it shall be preferred over all other offers." Mr. Uren is an abutting owner of the subject property. He has indicated to Public Works that he would like to purchase the property.

Abandoning the portion of Quail Drive will not deny anyone access to their property.

Conclusion

It is in the best interest of all involved to abandon this portion of the road.

Recommendation

The Public Works Department Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors accept a bid from Richard Uren in the amount of $890.00 for a portion of Quail Drive adjacent to his property.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action for the public sale of a portion of Quail Drive on the Sportsmans Haven, Official Map No. 311, Gila County Records, Gila County, AZ to Richard Uren in the amount of $890. (Steve Sanders)
