RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a
quitclaim deed conveying the City's interest in unused irrigation
easement to the State of California Department of Transportation.
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.
