Euclid Street from Pampas Lane to Lincoln Avenue. Lincoln Avenue from 200m west of Euclid Street to 200 m east of Euclid Street Project for which acquisition of the Property is required consists of the widening and improving of Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street, including installation of street landscaping and public utilities. SECTION II. The Property to be acquired is located within the City of Anaheim, County of Orange, State of California, and is located at 1695 West Lincoln Avenue, (Assessor Parcel No. 072- 110-26). The portions of Property the City seeks to acquire, and the Property interests sought, consist of the following: Fee simple title to approximately 1,171.30 square feet of frontage along the Property, as more specifically described in Exhibit "A" and hereto. A temporary construction easement over approximately 143.05 square feet of Property, more specifically described in Exhibit "C" hereto. The temporary construction easement shall consist of the interests described below: The temporary construction is a nonexclusive easement which permits City of Anaheim, its officers, agents, employees, and contractors, to enter upon, 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 Euclid Street in accordance with the approved street construction (the "Project"). The temporary construction easement shall include the right to perform any necessary 2 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, adjusting grade differentials 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 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. 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 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. SECTION III. The public interest and necessity require the Project, in that the City's General Plan, and specifically the Circulation Element, calls for the improvement of Lincoln Avenue and Euclid Street in the manner contemplated by the Project. The Project is designed to 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 improve traffic circulation. SECTION V. The Property is necessary for the proposed Project, in that the roadway widening must occur on property iraraediately 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 August 22, 2000. 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 approval of environmental impact report, negative declaration, and the City Council finds and determines that since the time of that approval 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 4 effects or mitigation measures or alternatives which have 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 attending 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 17th day of April, 2001.
