In that document, the department will summarize the conclusion that the particular parcel of land is excess right-of-way and whether the land has a present or potential use for parks, conservation, recreation, or related uses. The department will, in its discretion, find that the land is excess right-of-way, if the land is located outside of the slope limits of a highway, the land is not necessary for the highway's operation or maintenance, and the land is not needed for a public purpose. If the department finds that the land has a present or potential use for parks, conservation, recreation, or related uses, the department will describe in the decisional document the department's efforts to dispose of the land to public agencies for parks, conservation, recreation, or related uses. If the public agencies decline to acquire the parcel, the department will conduct the land disposal according to 17 AAC 10.105 - 17 AAC 10.120.Eff. 5/4/2000, Register 154Authority:AS 19.05.020
