RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors, to execute, on behalf of Contra Costa County (County), the Grant of Access Rights in exchange for the Relinquishment of Access Rights over portions of Balfour Road to Jeremy and Diana Beasley, and the Balfour Group, a general partnership (Property Owners) pursuant to Streets & Highways Code § 960.


ACCEPT the Relinquishment of Access Rights from Jeremy and Diana Beasley, and the Balfour Group, a general partnership.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the property described in the Real Property Acceptance recorded December 22, 2008 in series number 2008-0273149, Contra Costa County records was accepted by the County for highway purposes and is no longer necessary for those purposes and the exchange of said access rights is in the public interest and will not substantially conflict or interfere with the County’s use of the property.

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Grant of Access Rights and Relinquishments of Access Rights, along with certified copies of this Board Order, to be recorded in the office of the County Clerk-Recorder. (Project No.: 0662-6R4002)

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The County plans to widen Balfour Road to bring the shoulders up to current design standards and provide a driver recovery area and a bike lane. The Property Owners along Balfour Road currently have access rights, which they are not utilizing and have requested the exchange of their current access rights for areas that are controlled by the County in order to have legal access rights at the location of their existing driveways.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The Property Owners will not obtain the new rights necessary to legally access their existing driveways from Balfour Road.
