RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute, on behalf of the County, the conveyance of a pipeline easement to SFPP, L.P., located near Marsh Drive and SR-4, in Martinez identified in Exhibit “A”, of the Grant of Easement (State Parcel No. 63156-2) pursuant to Government Code Section 25526.6.


DETERMINE that the conveyance of the pipeline easement is in the public interest and that the interest in the land conveyed will not substantially conflict or interfere with the use of the County’s use of the property.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute the Grant of Easement on behalf of the County.

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

No fiscal impact.

BACKGROUND:

The State of California conveyed Marsh Drive and adjacent road right of way to Contra Costa County in the 1960’s for road purposes. As part of the improvements for the State’s current I-680/SR 4 Widening Phase 3 Project, the State requires said pipeline to be conveyed to SFPP, L.P. due to the relocation of the existing pipeline.

An Environmental Impact Report dated December 17, 2015, was completed by the State. The State has the power of Eminent Domain to acquire the necessary rights from the County. The easement document provides language so as not to substantially conflict or interfere with the County’s use of the property.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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