The City of Phoenix City Council conditionally approved the abandonment of a portion of an existing 33.49-foot by 12-foot sewer and water easement located at 4725 E. Cactus Road. This action, requested by applicant Scott Wagner, is intended to facilitate future development on the site by removing an encumbrance that is no longer required for public utility services. The conditional approval, granted on March 13, 2025, requires all stipulations to be met within two years, with a potential one-year extension. Stipulations primarily involve the relocation of existing utilities or the designation of the area as a public utilities easement with perpetual vehicle maintenance access. The city acknowledged public benefits such as increased tax revenue from private rolls and reduced municipal liabilities. No consideration fee was required for the abandonment, although standard filing fees were paid.
