RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the conveyance of Contra Costa County property rights located in Imhoff Road right of way in the vicinity of Highway 4 (SR4) and the I-680/SR4 Interchange in Martinez to the State of California, Department of Transportation (State), identified in Exhibit “A” of the Easement Deed (State Parcel No. 63157) attached hereto pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6 (Project No. 0676-6P0040) and;


FIND that the Real Property transaction between Contra Costa County (County) and the State, under the threat of condemnation, are ministerial acts and are therefore statutorily exempt from CEQA, pursuant to the California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, Section 15268 and;

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

DETERMINE that the conveyance of said property rights are in the public interest and that the interest in the land conveyed will not substantially conflict or interfere with the use of the property by the county and;

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to approve and execute the Right of Way Contract on behalf of the County and;

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Easement Deed on behalf of the County in consideration for payment in the amount of $3,000 and;

DIRECT the Real Estate Division of the Public Works Department to cause said Easement Deed to be delivered to the grantees for acceptance and recording in the Office of the County Clerk-Recorder.

FISCAL IMPACT:

$3,000 to be deposited into the County Road Fund.

BACKGROUND:

The County acquired the real property in the 1960’s in connection to an I-680/SR 4 Project. The State requires an easement over a portion of the property owned by the County for roadway purposes.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The project will not have sufficient land rights to allow construction in accordance with the approved plans and specifications.
