DESCRIPTION) Finance: Council Notes: �s-oast Agenda Item No. i i C1 1h d' OF SAN BERNARD`..O - REQUE: : FOR COUNCIL ACTaN STAFF REPORT On November 17, 1987, Resolution No. 87-404 was approved, ordering the vacation of State Street, North of Sheridan Road. That portion of State Street, East of it's centerline, was aqui red by University Square, a Joint Venture, the property owner adjoining the vacated portion of State Street to the East. University Square has plans to develop the area East of State Street. The City owns the remaining West 20 feet of State Street. The property to the West of State Street is owned by Southern California Edision Co. This property is landscaped and maintained by the City through an agreement with Edison. Once the area East of this 20 foot strip is developed, what would remain would be a 20 foot by 400 foot paved strip with curbs on either side, and even though vacated, would appear to be a public right of way, creating a potential liability for the City. University Square would like to acquire this strip of land from the City, and has indicated that they plan to landcape and maintain this area in their development. They have also stated that they do not need this land for their development, but are only interested in acquiring this area for aethetics. The cost to the City for the removal of the curb and asphalt, filling in with dirt and installation of a sprinkling system and the planting of grass, which would be needed to aesthetically blend in with the surrounding area, would be a minimum of $13,000.00. The annual cost of maintenance would be approximately $1,760.00. Since the City has no practical use for a 20 foot by 400 foot strip of land, and the high cost of planting and maintaining such an area, it is recommended that the Real Property Section be authorized to proceed with the preparation of a Quitclaim Deed to University Square, which will be presented to you for your approval. i 1 k� vw N Section 04<< `fir Lies S JC1�v Il QP {fir• Sect+en I PraP,.�s e� Area � 2 t0 (Z,;;fciAi'm \ TRACT ! i74 17re4 V,3 ea td b P-7 I S H E A I D A N ?04 h 02/oa/RR
