Report
Summary
Grande Valley Ventures, LLC ("Grande Valley") is the owner of a parcel of property along the west side of 51st Avenue, south of the Laveen Area Conveyance Channel ("Property"). On May 8, 2008, Grande Valley’s predecessor-in-interest conveyed fee title in a 30-foot strip of land to the City, which was originally a part of the Property, for a multi-use trail. The land is located between 7100 S. 51st Ave. and the west side of the 51st Avenue roadway and is erroneously mapped as City right-of-way. Rather than own the land in fee, the City would prefer to own the property rights by easement. The City will convey the 30-foot strip of land by quitclaim deed to Grande Valley Ventures, LLC, its successors and/or assigns, and will reserve a shared-use path easement as part of the conveyance.
