Approve an appropriation adjustment accepting State of California <br />funds in the amount of $61,000 into the Capital Outlay Zoo Easement fund <br />(account no. 51-01-5799-6) and appropriating funds to the Zoo Improvement <br />fund (account no. 51-250-6631) for ingress/egress easement at 1815 E. <br />Chestnut with the State of California Department of Transportation. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION <br /> <br />The State of California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) needs to <br />construct an overhead sign structure, adjacent to the southbound Route 5 <br />Interchange and Route 55, near the Santa Ana Zoo (exhibit 1). <br /> <br />In order to construct and maintain their sign, Caltrans has requested an <br />ingress/egress easement through a portion of the Santa Ana Zoo, <br />specifically identified as 1815 E Chestnut Avenue. This easement <br />consists of a temporary construction easement for construction and access <br />to maintain the sign. The Zoo currently uses this property for overflow <br />parking, and does not foresee a conflict between granting this easement <br />request, and existing or future use. Construction of the sign is <br />scheduled to begin in June 2006. <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br /> <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the proposed <br />request is not considered a project. No further action is required. <br /> <br />30A-1 <br />
