DISCUSSION The State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is currently constructing the SR 22 Garden Grove Freeway Widening Project. The City inherited a lO-foot wide irrigation easement from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, north of Fairhaven between Cambridge and Tustin Avenue. Caltrans has asked the City to quitclaim its interest in the easement and relinquish its rights, thus allowing Caltrans to construct the necessary improvements and widen this portion of SR 22. The City has no improvements in the easement and foresees no future use for the easement. In fact, this irrigation easement is a nuisance, as the City has on-going responsibilities for weed and trash abatement. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed request is not considered a project. No further action is required. 30A-1 Quitclaim Deed To Caltrans June 20, 2005 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. APPROVED AS TO FUNDS AND ACCOUNTS: ~ ~/~?
