Santa Ana on the historical register and approving historic register categorization no. 2021-20 placing said property within the contributive category (4 pages attached) 5. Mills Act Agreement (16 pages attached) Summery Explicit Dedication to Public Use: The recorded maps, including Tract 754 and Tract 425, explicitly state that all boulevards, avenues, streets, drives, ways, and alleys shown on the maps are dedicated to public use. The dedication is clear and unambiguous, indicating that the intention of the property owners, including Lot 57, was to relinquish ownership and grant these areas to the public. Consistency of Legal Descriptions: The legal descriptions provided in all recorded documents consistently refer to Lot 57 in Tract 754 and Tract 425, but there is no indication that any part of the public alley is part of Lot 57. The dimensions of Lot 57 are specified as 50' x 130', clearly excluding the adjacent public alley. City Ownership of the Alley: Based on the explicit dedication to public use and the absence of any indication that the alley is part of Lot 57, the alley must be owned by the City of Santa Ana. As such, Lot 57 has no inherent right to claim ownership over the alley. In conclusion, all the recorded documents, including maps, grant deed, and approvals, support the fact that the alley adjoining Lot 57 is dedicated to public use and is owned by the City of Santa Ana. Lot 57 does not have any right to the alley based on the provided information. I would advise Lot 57's owner to respect the public's right to use the alley and to adhere to any applicable laws or regulations governing the public's access to the dedicated public areas. Prior to the upcoming public hearing I would appreciate a brief discussion with my ward representative Jesse Lopez or Val Amezcua to get an understanding of the position of the City Council in this matter. Many Thanks, Michael and Jeni Varciag 2383 N (Flower record .pdf On Tue, Jul 18, 2023 at 12:26 PM Michael Varciag < wrote: ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Michael Varciag < Date: Mon, Jul 17, 2023, 5:03 PM Subject: Agenda item 27:
