Guice City of Prescott 201 S Cortez St PO BOX 2059 Prescott,AZ 86305 Dear Mr. Guice, Thank you for providing the information and for the opportunity to comment on the proposed Major General Plan Amendment GP08-004.After reviewing the General Plan Land Use Map for the West Airport Area Major Amendment, 1 wanted to take the opportunity to comment on the conceptual road alignments that are depicted on the map. Yavapai County Public Works feels that it is important to the regional transportation system and for future land use planning to recognize that Pioneer Parkway is an access controlled facility from Williamson Valley Road to State Route 89 with access limited to designated locations only. For your information, I have attached a copy of the Right of Way Map for Pioneer Parkway as recorded on September 30, 1999 in Book 39 of Maps and Plats, Pages 40-45. This recorded document shows the designated locations for access points, which should be valuable information for you to use when future site plans are developed for the subject property. Although the proposed alignments on the West Airport Area Major Amendment Map are fairly general and look to be conceptual in nature, we do have a couple of concerns we would like to share with you at this time. This map appears to indicate that a proposed new road located just west of the intersection of Pioneer Parkway and Willow Creek Road would not intersect Pioneer Parkway at an approved access location. Also,the intersection with Pioneer Parkway on the western end of the subject area is difficult to determine if it will be at an approved location or not, because the map does not depict the full extent of the alignment of Pioneer Parkway. Again, thank you for the information and for the opportunity to comment. Should you have any questions or need any assistance please feel free to contact me any time at 777-7501 or by e- mail at Chris.Bridaes( co.vavaoai.az.us.
