Phoenix-Mesa Gateway Airport
Authority, Mesa, Arizona requested a
release of an easement that was obtained
from the U.S. Air Force via an
Assignment of Easement on April 14,
1998. The easement covers
approximately 52.6 acres of private
property. It extends eastward from the
airport boundary and is located east of

Jkt 223001
Ellsworth Road and north of Pecos
Road. Use of the private property east of
the airport is restricted by the easement.
Relinquishment of the easement will not
harm the airport because it is being
replaced with a standard avigation
easement. The new easement will
provide the airport with a continued
right for aircraft to fly in the airspace
above the private property. It will also
prevent interference with airport
operations and the erection of
obstructions that pose a hazard to
aircraft. As compensation, the private
land owner will convey 17.53 acres of
land at no cost to the Airport Authority
that will serve an airport purpose. The
land will allow the airport to have a
complete runway protection zone for
runway end 30R on airport property.
Presently, a portion of the RPZ extends
beyond the airport boundary to the
private property located east of
Ellsworth Road. The Airport Authority
has agreed to the exchange because the
restrictive easement is not needed and
will be replaced with an avigation
easement. The airport will be
additionally compensated with a
donation of land that has an immediate
airport purpose. The use of the property
under the new easement will continue
to be used compatibly with the airport
and not cause interference with airport
operations. The exchange is equitable
and the donation of land to the airport
clearly serves the interests of civil
aviation.
By this notice, the FHWA is
advising the public of final agency
actions subject to 23 U.S.C. 139(l)(1). A
claim seeking judicial review of the
Federal agency actions that are covered
by this notice will be barred unless the
claim is filed on or before February 14,
2012. If the Federal law that authorizes
judicial review of a claim provides a
time period of less than 180 days for
filing such claim, then that shorter time
period still applies.
