Authorize the City Manager and the Clerk of the Council to execute a <br />quitclaim deed relinquishing the City's interest in an irrigation <br />easement at 804 North Fairview Street to the Santa Ana Unified School <br />District. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) is constructing the 350 <br />student Otsuka Elementary School and a 35,000 square foot storage <br />facility/warehouse on its property at 804 North Fairview Street. The <br />City owns and maintains a 48-inch storm drain pipe within the property, <br />along with a 10 foot wide and 15 foot wide easement. A 20 foot wide storm <br />drain easement is required by the City. SAUSD has agreed to dedicate the <br />required easement. Therefore, the existing 10 foot wide and 15 foot wide <br />easements can be quitclaimed (Exhibit A). The new easement is more <br />correctly aligned with the storm drain pipe. <br />The City also owns an irrigation easement on the SAUSD property (Exhibit <br />B). The City received the easement from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation <br />Company (SAVI) in 1961, when the utility ceased its operations. The City <br />has no water facilities within or use for the easement area. Staff is <br />recommending the City quitclaim its interest in both easements to the <br />SAUSD. <br />30A-1 <br />
