The Phoenix City Council conditionally approved the abandonment of a 17-foot wide drainage easement located on the east side of 2851 E. Turquoise Drive in District 3. The request, identified as ABND 250011, was submitted by Michael Jarosz. The abandonment was deemed necessary because existing developments south of the property have rendered the drainage easement obsolete, and its removal will facilitate the replatting of the area with alternate roadways and new development. The city noted public benefits, including potential additional revenue from private tax rolls and elimination of city liability and maintenance expenses. The conditional approval means the request will be formally adopted by the City Council.
