TOWN COUNCIL
MEETING
INFORMATION
TOWN OF MARANA
MEETING DATE: June 7, 2005
AGENDA ITEM: X. A. 1
TO: MAYOR AND COUNCIL
FROM: Frank Cassidy, Town Attorney
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2005-61: Relating to Real Estate; confinning and
ratifying the abandonment of a portion of Continental Links Drive
northwest of Arizona Pavilions Drive and northeast of the Santa Cruz
River; and declaring an emergency.
DISCUSSION
In 1997, the final block plat for the Links at Continental Ranch dedicated a 60- foot public right-
of-way for Continental Links Road from Arizona Pavilions Drive to the northwest comer of the
Links final plat. On June 4, 2002, the preliminary block plat for Marana Golf Continental Ranch
was approved, showing Continental Links Drive abandoned north of the entry to the golf course
parking lot. However, when the final plat for Marana Golf Continental Ranch was submitted to
and approved by the Town on March 16, 2004, the plat note referencing the abandonment of
Continental Links Road north of the golf course parking lot was inadvertently deleted. Never-
theless, the road is not shown on the final plat north of that location.
Continental Links Drive was intended to be abandoned with the final plat for Marana Golf Con-
tinental Ranch in exchange for the linear park dedicated to the public by that plat. This proposed
resolution carries out the abandonment of Continental Links Road by exchange as it was origi-
nally intended.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution No. 2005-61, confinning and ratifying the abandon-
ment of a portion of Continental Links Drive.
SUGGESTED MOTION
I move to adopt Resolution No. 2005-61, and declaring an emergency.
