STRATEGIC OUTCOME:

Accepting fee title ownership to property encumbered by utility easements along the western boundary of the Santana Unit 2 subdivision will allow the City of Yuma to expand multiuse paths in the future in support of the City Council’s Respected and Responsible strategic outcome.

 

REPORT:

Elliott Homes through two entities, Santana RE 142, L.L.C and Elliott Construction, Inc. seeks to gift the City of Yuma property encumbered by Arizona Public Services (APS), Western Area Power Authority (WAPA), and the United States Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) easements generally located between Avenue 7½E and 7¾E and approximately centered along the USBR “A” Canal with power easements on the southeast edge of the canal as shown in the attached location map.

The APS easement affects lots 44 through 51 of Santana Unit 2 subdivision. Elliott homes reached out to determine if the City could utilize the property under the easements in the future. City staff agreed to accept fee title, subject to City Council approval by ordinance prior to recording any documents.

The combined properties contain 8.35 acres and will allow the City in the future to place a possible multiuse path on a portion of the property, as well as license other utilities to utilize the area.
