RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair, Board of Supervisors, to execute, on behalf of the County, a quitclaim deed to exchange property rights with East Bay Municipal Utility District for property rights required for the County’s Alhambra Valley Road, near the intersection of Alhambra Valley Road, Castro Ranch Road, and Pinole Valley Road, identified in Exhibit "A" of the quitclaim deed, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code section 960, as recommended by the Public Works Director, Martinez area. (Project No.: 0676-6P0040)[CP#17-04]


DETERMINE that the property rights described in the quitclaim deed were acquired by the County for highway purposes but are no longer necessary for those purposes.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

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

FISCAL IMPACT:

100% Road Fund

BACKGROUND:

In 1935, EBMUD granted an Easement for Roadway purposes to the County. The road alignment does not match the Roadway Easement in this location therefore a corrective measure is necessary. A Correction Roadway Easement Deed has been secured and will be recorded to reflect the existing rights necessary for the road. EBMUD has requested the County Quitclaim the rights conveyed that are not being used as part of the roadway. The requested Quitclaim Deed legal description will be cross referenced with the Correction Roadway Easement Deed granting the County rights for the road that was constructed.

On February 14, 2017, the Board of Supervisors approved the project and determined that project is exempt from CEQA (CP#17-04).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The County will continue to have title over property that is no longer needed for County purposes.
