The Phoenix City Council approved the conditional abandonment of an 8-foot public utility easement and a 40-foot electric and telephone easement at 5983 N. Elsie Avenue. This action, identified as ABND 250009, affects portions of Assessor Parcel Numbers 172-12-086B and 172-12-068A. The applicant, Elevation Civil Engineers LLC, requested the abandonment because the existing easements are no longer in use and conflict with a proposed plat (Project 04-684, Plat-240073). The approval is conditional upon two main stipulations: all utilities within the affected easements must be relocated by the respective utility companies at no expense to them, and an appropriate performance agreement guaranteeing these improvements must be posted with the Planning and Development Department. These conditions must be satisfied within two years of the conditional approval date of April 15, 2025. The City recognized public benefits from this abandonment, including potential increased tax revenue, reduced third-party general liability claims against the City, and the enablement of new development through the replatting of the area.
