The Yavapai County Board of Supervisors agreed Monday to let county staff send a letter to a property owner explaining why a subdivision developer is trying to buy an easement on his property.
But the supervisors didn’t want to go any further to help the developer meet a long-standing county requirement for good road access to proposed subdivisions.
The developer wanted the county to make the Chavez Ranch Road improvements near Sedona a county right-of-way project, so county officials could negotiate with a property owner who won’t sell the developer a road easement at appraised value.
“We’re not going to send our guys out on behalf of a developer,” Supervisor Chip Davis said. “It doesn’t look right.”
