AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director to arrange for payment of a $50.00 fee to the County Clerk for filing and $25.00 fee to DCD for processing the Notice of Exemption.

BACKGROUND:

Portions of excess right of way along Brookside Drive in unincorporated North Richmond have been superseded due to realignment of the roadway for safety purposes. The owner has requested the County vacate the areas no longer needed for road right of way which are encumbering portions of his parcels identified as Assessor’s Parcel numbers 409-320-034 and 035 in North Richmond in order to obtain a permit approval for the expansion of a factory located on site. For these reasons, Public Works Department staff recommends that the Board of Supervisors convey the excess road right of way along Brookside Drive and reserve an easement for the existing utilities, as described in the attached resolution of vacation.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County may be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of this excess right of way.
