A RESOLUTION SETTING FORTH AN ABANDONMENT OF THE NORTHERN 191.45 FEET
OF PUERTO VERDE CIRCLE ADJOINING LOTS 8, 9, 10 AND 11, BLOCK 2, OF PALM
ESTATES H, TRACT 4104-A, AND LOT 1 OF RIO HACIENDA, TRACT 1224, IN THE SE¼ OF
SECTION 14, TOWNSHIP 19 NORTH, RANGE 22 WEST, IN THE SOUTH MOHAVE VALLEY
AREA, MOHAVE COUNTY, ARIZONA.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on September
7, 1999, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted to abandon the
above-described roadway right-of-way as requested by Donald and Deborah Rathbone of Fort Mohave,
Arizona, and
WHEREAS, this roadway is located east of State Highway 95 and north of Camp Mohave Road.
The site is accessed from Camp Mohave Road via north on Puerto Verde Circle to Vista Del Oro. The
proposed abandonment extends from this intersection northward to the terminus of Puerto Verde Circle.
The roadway has been cleared but is not improved. The terrain is flat. Residential development has
occurred on all sides of the roadway, with a concrete block wall running along the west and north sides of
the right-of-way There are no significant washes crossing this property, and
WHEREAS, the applicant proposes to abandon this portion of Puerto Verde Circle to increase his
property size and extend an existing fence line. The Mohave County General Plan designates this area as
an Urban Development Area, and
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Works does not object to the abandonment provided the
entire portion of Puerto Verde Circle, north of Vista Del Oro, is abandoned to create an "L" intersection.
Leaving a small stub of publicly owned property could be a collection point for weeds and debris which
could be a maintenance problem for the County, and
WHEREAS, Citizens Water Resources, Fort Mojave Tribal Utility Authority, Mohave Electric
Cooperative and the Fort Mojave Mesa Fire Department have no objection to the proposed roadway
abandonment, and
WHEREAS, a review of FEMA FIRM Panel #040058-2435D indicates the parcel described to be
in Zone AO-2 foot, in the Special Flood Hazard Area, and
RESOLUTION NO. 99-323 Page 2
WHEREAS, the following described Findings of Fact are for the above-captioned item:
a. All notices have been advertised and posted according to regulations.
b. The County has no current or anticipated need for the property for the purposes originally
intended when the property was acquired.
c. Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11, Block 2, of PALM ESTATES II, Tract 4104-A, are being assessed "by
site;" hence, the County will not benefit from increased tax revenue if these lots expand.
d. Lot 1 of RIO HACIENDA, Tract 1224, is being assessed per square foot. The abandonment
would increase the lot's area by approximately 5,750 square feet. The land's assessed
valuation is projected to increase from $13,722 to approximately $15,500.
e. This portion of Puerto Verde Road does not appear to be regularly maintained by the County.
f. The public benefit appears to be commensurate with the value of the property to be
abandoned.
g. The proposed action and the effect complies with the Mohave County General Plan.
h. The site is adequate for the action intended and the use is consistent with the surrounding
land uses and terrain.
i. The site has legal access.
j. There are no significant environmental features affecting the site, except the above
mentioned flood hazard zone.
WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission on
August 11, 1999, the Commission recommended APPROVAL for the Abandonment subject to the
following:
1. The entire right-of-way for Puerto Verde Circle north of Vista Del Oro shall be abandoned
per Exhibit "A."
2. Lot 1, RIO HACIENDA, Tract 1224, and the adjoining Lots 8, 9, 10 and 11, Block 2, of
PALM ESTATES II, Tract 4104-A, will accrue those abandoned portions of Puerto Verde
Circle, as shown on Exhibit "B," increasing their acreage rather than creating separate
parcels (ARS §28-7205).
3. Written concurrence shall be submitted from Citizens Communications prior to roadway
abandonment.
WHEREAS, the notice of hearing was published in The Standard, a newspaper of general
circulation in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona, August 18, 1999, and August 25, 1999, and posted
August 20, 1999, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes and the Mohave County Zoning Regulations.
