RECOMMENDATION(S):

As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District (District), APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to execute a license agreement from Discovery Builders, Inc., (Discovery Builders) for ingress and egress purposes by the District, Martinez area.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

Discovery Builders is the owner of Assessor’s Parcel Number 380-030-046 in the Martinez area. The District owns property to the south and east of the Discovery Builder’s property. In effort to maintain Pacheco and Walnut Creeks, the District has utilized an existing nice gravel access road on Discovery Builder’s property. Discovery Builders has agreed to grant a Temporary Access License Agreement to the District for ingress and egress purposes over and across the existing nice gravel road across Discovery Builder’s property. Discovery Builder’s is currently seeking approval on a tentative subdivision map which will include a new access road. Upon approval of the tentative map, Discovery Builders will grant the District a permanent access easement.

The License Agreement includes indemnification language, which has been approved by County Counsel.

The District will also use the existing access road for hauling purposes during the construction of the Lower Walnut Creek Restoration Project.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County would not have the necessary access rights for creek maintenance or construction purposes.
