In 1985, the County purchased portions of the Iron Horse Corridor (IHC) from Southern Pacific Railroad (SPRR) with monetary help from the District. In exchange for receiving the funds from the District, the County granted easements to the District, which only possessed lease agreements with SPRR. The Grant of Easement granted to the District on December 16, 1986 and recorded on December 31, 1986, states that the location of the easement area specified therein was based on the best information available at the time of execution, and allows the parties to amend the easements upon determination of a more precise location of existing or proposed facilities.
The District has now determined and mapped the precise location of their facility and would now like to amend the legal description and plat map of the original 1986 Grant of Easement. All other terms and conditions of the original grant of easement will remain in full force and effect.
In December of 1986, the Board of Supervisors determined that the sale of easements to Central Contra Sanitary District was exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act under State Guidelines, Section 15112.
The legal description and plat map will not be correct.
