Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a quitclaim deed relinquishing the City's interest in an irrigation easement at 804 North Fairview Street to the Santa Ana Unified School District. DISCUSSION The Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) is constructing the 350 student Otsuka Elementary School and a 35,000 square foot storage facility/warehouse on its property at 804 North Fairview Street. The City owns and maintains a 48-inch storm drain pipe within the property, along with a 10 foot wide and 15 foot wide easement. A 20 foot wide storm drain easement is required by the City. SAUSD has agreed to dedicate the required easement. Therefore, the existing 10 foot wide and 15 foot wide easements can be quitclaimed (Exhibit A). The new easement is more correctly aligned with the storm drain pipe. The City also owns an irrigation easement on the SAUSD property (Exhibit B). The City received the easement from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company (SAVI) in 1961, when the utility ceased its operations. The City has no water facilities within or use for the easement area. Staff is recommending the City quitclaim its interest in both easements to the SAUSD. 30A-1 Quitclaim Easements at 804 North Fairview Street September 17, 2007 Page 2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed request is not considered to be a project.
