TOPIC: Exchange of Storm Drain Easement
AGENDA TITLE
Authorize Exchange of Storm Drain Easements within 1202 West Edinger Avenue
(Applicants and Owners: Mater Dei High School)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the City Manager to execute quitclaim deeds relinquishing the City’s interest
in drainage easements at 1202 West Edinger Avenue, in exchange for replacement
storm drain easement.
DISCUSSION
On March 15, 2016, the City Council approved various actions to allow the Mater Dei
High School Parking Structure and School Expansion Project (Exhibit 1).
On June 5, 2018, the City Council adopted a Resolution to vacate portions of Baker
Street, Berkeley Street, and Occidental Street .
Mater Dei High School (Mater Dei) has now completed the construction of a three-story
parking structure at the southeast section of their campus. After construction of the
buildings and associated improvements within the development, the developer
discovered that portions of a storm drain easement conflict with the buildings. To
remove the conflict, the developer has requested the City quitclaim partial interest in the
easement (Exhibit 2), and in exchange, will grant a replacement easement (Exhibit 3).
Generally, storm drain easements provide for conveyance of storm water through
private properties to public facilities. In this case, easements will be granted to replace
the partial easement being quitclaimed.
Consistent with past practices for similar actions, staff examined whether the City would
require compensation for the value of the easement rights being quitclaimed. The
replacement easements cover a larger land area, and therefore no compensation is
needed. Staff recommends quitclaiming the existing storm drain easement in exchange
for receiving the replacement storm drain easement.
