Adopt a resolution vacating a portion of Broadway Place and Broadway, <br />west of Main Street. <br /> <br />2. Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and <br />Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement for the sale of City's <br />fee interest in a portion of Broadway Place to the Santa Ana Unified <br />School District for $1. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The Santa Ana Unified School District has been working with the City to <br />complete the construction of the Manuel Esqueda Elementary School. To <br />facilitate the completion of this project and to improve student and <br />vehicular access, the school district has installed a student drop-off <br />zone with a 10 - foot wide school bus turnout lane on Broadway Place. <br />These improvements require the City's vacation of the southerly portion <br />of Broadway Place and Broadway adjacent to the school site (Exhibit 1). <br />The proposed street vacation will benefit the City and the School <br />District by improving bus and student circulation at the new school. <br />Additionally, vehicular and pedestrian access will still be maintained. <br /> <br />Utility companies, other government agencies and City departments were <br />advised of the partial street vacation. Existing overhead utilities and <br />street lighting in the vacated area were relocated outside of the new <br />School District property. The southerly end of Broadway was reconfigured <br />into a partial cul-de-sac on the east side of the street. Easements for <br />the City's storm drain facilities and the Orange County Sanitation <br />District sewer trunk facilities will be reserved in the resolution of <br />vacation. <br /> <br />75A-1 <br />
