occupy, and pass over the temporary construction easement area more
specifically described in the legal description, attached as Exhibit "C" as
deemed reasonably necessary for all purposes incidental to reconstructing
and widening Lincoln Avenue and Brookhurst Street in accordance with the
approved street construction (the "Project"). The temporary construction
easement shall include the right to perform within the temporary
construction easement area any necessary excavation; grading; earth fill;
compaction; installation of concrete forms; landscaping; irrigation; utility;
and sign relocation; accommodation of private drainage facilities; and
deposit of tools, equipment, and material for all such necessary activities
which are reasonably incidental to the work being performed on said
property in connection with the Project.
Such incidental activities shall include, but not be limited to, utilizing the
temporary construction easement area for adjusting grade differentials
2
between the planned street and the adjoining real property and/or matching
existing concrete and/or asphalt paved areas, and/or natural grade areas, or
such work within the temporary construction easement area as may pertain
to on-site improvements by Public Works to render the temporary
construction easement area or the larger parcel to which it pertains in the
same functional condition as reasonably practicable to the condition before
the Project in terms of access, irrigation, and relation of public right of way
improvements to the larger parcel.
The temporary construction easement shall not include the right to store any
materials or park any vehicles which are not incidental to the work to be
performed on site in connection with the Project, nor to block all vehicular
access to the larger parcel of property of which the temporary construction
easement area is a part, nor exercise the uses of the easement outside of the
temporary construction easement area. In connection with the exercise of
the temporary construction easement rights hereunder, City shall protect all
structures on the temporary construction easement area in place, and shall
protect or restore all improvements thereon.
The rights granted hereunder shall commence fourteen (14) days after
written notification to the property owner of the commencement of
construction of the project and shall continue in full force and effect until
written notice to the owner of record that the temporary construction
easement is no longer needed by the City, or twelve (12) months after notice
of the initiation of the temporary construction easement, whichever is
earlier. Upon termination of the temporary construction easement, the
temporary construction easement area shall be restored to a condition that is
as functionally equivalent as is practicable to its condition prior to the
commencement of the work, consistent with the project as designed and as
to be constructed.
A temporary, nonexclusive construction easement to permit the City, and/or
its contractors, to enter onto the area more specifically described in the legal
description attached hereto as Exhibit "D" and "D1 ", for the purposes of
constructing or relocating signage, including the replacement and/or
relocation of sign faces, poles, footings, wiring or electrical conduits,
switches, or other electrical appurtenances for the illumination or operation
of signs and sign structures, to maintain the continuity of signage on the
property of which the easement area is a part, and also to accommodate the
public improvements contemplated under the Lincoln Avenue and
Brookhurst Street Intersection Improvement Project. The temporary Sign
Construction/Relocation Easement shall include the right to install curbing
or similar structures, to protect the relocated sign and sign appurtenances
from vehicular damage. The Temporary Sign Construction/Relocation
Easement includes the right to temporarily bring or store equipment, tools,
and personnel onto the area of the easement, necessary or convenient for
constructing or relocating signage, consistent with the improvements
contemplated under the Lincoln Avenue and Brookhurst Street Intersection
Improvement Project. The rights conferred under this easement shall be
effective upon written notice from the City or its contractor to the owner or
occupant of the easement area of the initiation of this Temporary Sign
Construction/Relocation Easement, and shall continue in full force and
effect for thirty (30) days thereafter, at which point it shall expire.
SECTION III. The public interest and necessity require the Project, in that the CiW's
General Plan, and specifically the Circulation Element, calls for the improvement of Lincoln
Avenue and Brookhurst Street in the manner contemplated by the Project. The Project is designed
to improve traffic circulation relieve regional traffic congestion and improve the capacity of the
street, which will require continuity in the roadway alignment and traffic handling capacity of the
streets.
SECTION IV. The Project is located in a manner most compatible with the greatest public
good and least private injury, in that the design of the roadway widening must of necessity occupy
land which is immediately adjacent to the existing roadway, in order to maintain the continuity of
the alignment of the road for all users. The property to be taken for the project is necessitated and
established by the street alignment in an effort to minimize any disproportionate burden or impact
of the required property being taken from individual property owners. The project is designed in a
manner compatible with the greatest public good, in that the Project will involve road widening
and upgrading parkway landscaping, along with drainage improvements. This will enhance the
utility of the area and help improve traffic circulation.
SECTION V. The Property is necessary for the proposed Project, in that the roadway
widening must occur on property immediately adjacent to the existing roadway.
SECTION VI. The offer required by Government Code § 7267.2 has been made to the
record owners, by way of letter dated May 6, 2003. Staff has attempted to negotiate with the
record owners subsequent to this offer, but such negotiations have not proved successful in
securing the necessary property interests outside of more formal proceedings.
SECTION VII. To the extent any of the property to be taken herein is devoted to a
public use, the City finds that the proposed use for the Project is compatible with, or more
necessary to, such public use, and that the City is authorized to acquire the Property pursuant to
Code of Civil Procedure §§ 1240.510 and 1240.610.
SECTION VIII. The Project has been reviewed and approved under the California
Environmental Quality Act by way of certification of a Negative Declaration, referenced in the
notice of hearing which was sent in connection with this Resolution. The City Council finds and
determines that since the time of that certification there have been no subsequent changes with
respect to the circumstances under which the Project is to be undertaken, no new information of
substantial importance regarding significant effects or mitigation measures or alternative which has
become available, and no subsequent changes have been proposed in the Project which would
require important revisions to the Negative Declaration such that no further environmental review
4
of this proposed acquisition is necessary.
SECTION IX. The law firm of Rutan & Tucker, LLP, special counsel for the City of
Anaheim, and the City Attorney are hereby authorized to prepare and prosecute in the name of the
City, such special proceedings in the proper court having jurisdiction thereof, as are necessary for
acquisition of the Property described herein, and to prepare and file such pleadings, documents,
and otherwise prosecute such actions as may be necessary in the opinion of such attorneys to
acquire for the City the Property. Such attorneys are specifically authorized to take whatever steps
and/or procedures are available to them under the Eminent Domain Law of the State of California,
including, but not limited to, seeking orders for prejudgment possession of the
property. The City Attorney is authorized to assign any work in such action to other attorneys as
the City Attorney may deem appropriate.
THE FOREGOING RESOLUTION is approved and adopted by the City Council of the
City of Anaheim this 18th day of November, 2003.

Notice of Intention to Adopt a Resolution of Necessity for Acquisition of Certain Real
Property Located at 125 North Brookhurst Street and 2217 West Lincoln Avenue
Dear Property Owner:
This notice is sent to you under requirements of California Code of Civil Procedure Section
1245.235. This notice concerns the property located at 125 North Brookhurst Street and
2217 West Lincoln Avenue in the City of Anaheim, and beating the Orange County Assessor
Parcel No. 071-181-34 & 35. The City of Anaheim has been investigating the acquisition of
certain property for accommodation of the Lincoln Avenue and Brookhurst Street Intersection
Improvement Project.
California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1240.030 provides that the power of eminent
domain may be exercised to acquire property for a proposed public project if the following
conditions are established:
A. The public interest and necessity require the Project.
The Project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible
with the greatest public good and the least private injury.
C. The property sought to be acquired is necessary for the Project.
The offer required by Section 7267.2 of the Government Code has been made
to the owner of record.
This notice is sent to inform you that the City Council of the City of Anaheim will be asked to
decide if the above conditions are met concerning the City's acquisition of the
above-referenced property, and whether the City has complied with all other procedural
requirements for utilizing the power of eminent domain to acquire the property. City Council
will also be asked to make a finding that the environmental impacts associated with the
proposed acquisition and the project for which the property is proposed to be acquired, the
Lincoln Avenue and Brookhurst Street Intersection Improvement Project, have been
adequately reviewed under Negative Declaration, adopted by City Council on
March 18,2003, a copy of which can be reviewed at the City Clerk's office, at
200 South Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim CA, during normal business hours. This meeting
will be held at or about 5:30 p.m. on November 18, 2003, in the City Council Chambers
located at 200 South Anaheim Boulevard, Anaheim, California. If these conditions are met,
the City Council will be asked to adopt a resolution of necessity, which is a prerequisite for
the City's initiation of eminent domain proceedings to acquire property.

Notice of Intention to Adopt a Resolution of Necessity for Acquisition of Certain Real Property Located at 2217 West Lincoln
Avenue
For your information and convenience, a legal description of the property is attached to this
notice.
Please be advised that you are entitled to appear and be heard on any of the matters
encompassed within the resolution, and specifically those matters listed above. Take notice
that if you wish to legally challenge any action taken by the adoption of the resolution of
necessity, or any of the findings or matters included within it, you may be limited in court to
raising only those issues raised at the resolution of necessity heating, or in written
correspondence delivered to the City at, or prior to, the heating on the matter.
The City Council must adopt a resolution of necessity before an eminent domain proceeding
can commence. Within six months after the adoption of a resolution of necessity, the City
may commence eminent domain proceedings in the Orange County Superior Court. In any
such proceeding, the court will be asked to determine the amount of just compensation to
which you may be entitled in the event the property is taken in eminent domain.
Neither the pendency of the City Council's consideration of the resolution of necessity, nor
the initiation of formal eminent domain proceedings, in any way prevents further negotiations
from occurring for the acquisition of your property, nor the City will be most willing to
continue such negotiations.
If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to Contact Ms. Natalie Meeks
at (714) 765-5148. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Very truly yours,
Development Services Manager
