RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DIRECT the Director of the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to file a Notice of Exemption with the County Clerk; and

AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer, or designee, to arrange for payment of the $50 fee to the County Clerk for filing and a $25 fee to DCD for processing of the Notice of Exemption; and

FISCAL IMPACT:

Costs, not to exceed $12,000, will be funded 50% Flood Control Drainage Area 56 and 50% Applicant (FS17-172)

BACKGROUND:

Between October 1984 and February 1985, the District obtained easements along Hillcrest Avenue for the construction of DA 56 Line AA identified on Flood Control Right-of-Way Drawings ED-10117 and ED-10118, easement parcel numbers 1282, 1283, 1284, 1285, 1286 and 1287. This line was later rerouted along the road right-of-way of Hillcrest Avenue, and is now the City of Antioch’s responsibility.

The District has determined that the easements are no longer needed, and intends to vacate any and all rights, title, interest, obligation and responsibility of the easements encumbering a portion of the Assessor’s Parcel Numbers listed below which were recorded in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder: 052-140-002, February 11, 1985, Book 12180 Page 610; 052-042-021 , January 11, 1985, Book 12140 Page 347; 052-042-016, October 31, 1984, Book 12044 Page 692; 052-042-020, October 31, 1984, Book 12044 Page 657; 052-042-018, October 31, 1984, Book 12044 Page 885, 052-042-013, October 31, 1984, Book 12044 Page 967.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The District may be responsible for the maintenance of an area that is no longer required for the purposes for which it was intended.
