Exchange of Drain and Sewer Easements, Unincorporated Redwood City (C.O.P. No. 2672)

Recommendation
Adopt a Resolution authorizing the President of the Board of Supervisors to execute an agreement to exchange drain and sewer easements of equal value with Richard Koo, execute a Quitclaim Deed and accept an Easement Grant Deed.

Discussion
In 1926 the County acquired a drain and sewer easement at 675 Oak View Way by the filing of the subdivision map in the unincorporated Emerald Lake Hills area. The original 10 foot wide easement was located adjacent to the rear property line on the original lots. Due to a subsequent lot line adjustment the easement now crosses at an angle through the yard area of the property. The owner has requested that the County exchange the easement that has not been used by the County for an easement over the side and rear of the property.
The exchange agreement presented for your approval provides for the County to execute a Quitclaim Deed to Richard Koo for the easement not required by the County. It further requires Richard Koo to execute an Easement Grant Deed to the County for the easement that is needed by the County.
|
|
|
State statutes require that a notice of an intended exchange of property interests be published once in a newspaper of general circulation. The notice has been published.
The Director of Public Works concurs with our recommendation.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the agreements.
|
|
|
Fiscal Impact
The easements are of equal value, therefore, there is no payment to be made by the County to the owner. Richard Koo has paid $1,500 for costs associated with processing the exchange agreement.
