Title
Public Hearing - Appeal of Hearing Officer Decision - Abandonment of Right-of-Way - ABND 200545 - Arcadia Lane at South Side of Camelback Road
Description
Request to hold a public hearing on the request to abandon right-of-way segments (ABND 200545) located east of 56th Street and south of Camelback Road, 4430 and 4431 N. Arcadia Lane. The Abandonment Hearing Officer's decision to deny the request was appealed on Dec. 3, 2020.
The request was to abandon the north end of the Arcadia Lane right-of-way (ROW), where it ends at Camelback Road; the 22-foot right-of-way easement on the north side of 4430 N. Arcadia Lane dedicated with Ordinance S-11792, and the 15-foot right-of-way on the north side of 4431 N. Arcadia Lane dedicated with Ordinance S-11837.
The purpose of the abandonment request as stated by the applicant is as follows:
"All of the homes on Arcadia Lane wish to close access to Camelback Road and end Arcadia Lane with an 80-foot cul-de-sac. We would close the North end with a wall and add a fire hydrant. This would add a barrier to entry, which would reduce crime and provide a fire hydrant at the end of cul-de-sac and add response time for fire."
The Abandonment Hearing Officer denied the request, concluding that the ROW requested for abandonment is still necessary for public use of the ROW as a roadway.
