Authorization to Terminate Easement for Slope Purposes along Sonoran Desert Drive between Interstate 17 and North Valley Parkway (Ordinance S-49364)

 

Description

Request to authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to terminate an easement for slope purposes along Sonoran Desert Drive between Interstate 17 and North Valley Parkway. The termination of the easement will be recorded via separate instrument.

 

Report

Summary

A permanent easement for slope purposes was conveyed at no cost to the City of Phoenix on May 31, 2013, Maricopa County recording number 2013-0500513, for construction of the Sonoran Desert Drive bridge and roadway improvements. The property encumbered by this easement was unimproved at the time of conveyance. As part of the Sonoran Desert Drive Development, a slope stability evaluation was completed determining that the easement is no longer needed based on the proposed improvements by a commercial development project adjacent to Sonoran Desert Drive.

Along the north side of Sonoran Desert Drive, approximately 2,000 feet west of North Valley Parkway.
