Subject:

Authorization for the City Manager to execute quitclaim deeds of obsolete storm drain and water line easements on Christ Cathedral property. (Action Item)

Date:4/24/2018

OBJECTIVE

To obtain City Council authorization for the City Manager to execute quitclaim deeds releasing obsolete storm drain and water line easements on Christ Cathedral property.

BACKGROUND

The City was granted storm drain easements and water line and water main easements including incidental purposes within Orange County Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 231-161-18, and 231-161-24 in the City of Garden Grove on April 05, 1959, within Tract Number 3453 and filed within Book 121, pages 45 through 49, which easements are no longer necessary for the City.

DISCUSSION

The Christ Catholic Cathedral Facilities Corporation, a California non-profit religious organization (“Christ Cathedral”) is improving their property and these easements interfere with their development. They have therefore requested the City to quitclaim these obsolete easements.

FINANCIAL IMPACT

None. Christ Cathedral will pay an Administrative Fee of eight hundred dollars ($800) to process the Quitclaim easements, which will cover the City Attorney’s time and Real Property time.

RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Authorize the City Manager to execute the attached Quitclaim deeds.
