REQUEST FOR <br />COUNCIL ACTION <br />CITY COUNCIL MEETING DATE: <br />JUNE 4, 2019 <br />TITLE: <br />APPROVE PURCHASE AND SALE <br />AGREEMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF <br />$4,000 FOR PORTIONS OF CITY -OWNED <br />REAL PROPERTY AT 2501 NORTH <br />FLOWER STREET <br />(STRATEGIC PLAN NO. 6, 1) <br />i GL <br />CITY MANAGER <br />RECOMMENDED ACTION <br />CLERK OF COUNCIL USE ONLY: <br />APPROVED <br />❑ As Recommended <br />❑ As Amended <br />❑ Ordinance on is' Reading <br />❑ Ordinance on 2nd Reading <br />❑ Implementing Resolution <br />❑ Set Public Hearing For <br />CONTINUED TO <br />FILE NUMBER <br />Authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute a purchase and sale agreement <br />with Eugen Charles Andres III and Ann Avery Andres, Trustees of the Andres 1986 Living Trust <br />and Successor Trustees Thereto, for the sale of portions of City -owned property located at 2501 <br />North Flower Street in the amount of $4,000, subject to non -substantive changes approved by the <br />City Manager and City Attorney. <br />In 2013, as part of an effort to understand the City's property limits near Santiago Creek, staff <br />commissioned a topography survey of the section between Flower Street and the 1-5 Freeway. <br />The survey depicted small portions of private property improvements encroaching into the City's <br />creek right-of-way from the single-family residential property owned by Ann and Eugene Andres at <br />2467 North Riverside Drive that included a tennis court, pool, and garage. The land containing the <br />encroachments is situated between a retaining wall establishing the south bank of Santiago Creek <br />and the Andres' residential lot (Exhibit 1). A review of City records indicated that City permits were <br />issued for these private improvements over 30 years ago. <br />In November 2016 and July 2017, Public Works Agency staff met with the property owners of 2467 <br />North Riverside Drive to discuss solutions to the encroachment concern. The possibility of <br />adjusting the property boundary was discussed, which would result in the entirety of private <br />improvements to be wholly contained within the adjusted parcel, including the tennis court, pool, <br />garage, and landscape area. The stated improvements have been continuously maintained by Mr. <br />and Mrs. Andres (Exhibits 1 and 2), and the proposed sale reduces or eliminates the City's liability <br />and maintenance responsibility associated with the private improvements. This option also <br />alleviates any potential issues related to the encroachment, particularly because the improvements <br />were performed under City permits. <br />60A-1 <br />
