REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />August 24, 2015 <br />SUBJECT <br />Public Service Easement Deed granted by San Mateo Credit Union for the property at <br />350 Convention Way <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve a Publice Service Easement and authorize the City Manager to, <br />upon receipt of a signed Deed, accept a Public Service Easement Deed granted by San <br />Mateo Credit Union for the property at 350 Convention Way, and execute the Certificate <br />of Acceptance for such Deed. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />In April, 2015, staff issued encroachment permit CP15-0009 for the final segment of a <br />24” water main crossing underneath U.S. Route 101, creating an additional connection <br />between the City’s water distribution networks on either side of the freeway. The City- <br />issued permit authorized work within the City’s right of way only. The work is required <br />as part of a Development Agreement between the City and R.C. Peninsula Park, LLC, <br />dated February 13, 2008, and the First Amendment to Development Agreement dated <br />September 27, 2010. <br /> <br />In carrying out the City’s responsibilities under the agreement and amendment, staff <br />obtained an encroachment permit from Caltrans for the portion of work within the <br />freeway right of way, and this permit required that approximately 100 feet of the pipeline <br />be constructed through private property located at 350 Convention Way. <br /> <br />ANALYSIS <br />City-owned utilities are typically found in public right of way and easements, where the <br />City has a right to install, use and maintain its utilities now and in the future. In order to <br />begin the portion of the project located on private property, staff requested that the San <br />Mateo Credit Union as property owner grant the city a Public Service Easement for the <br />installation, use and maintenance of the water main in perpetuity. <br /> <br />The property owner of 350 Convention Way, San Mateo Credit Union, can grant <br />property interests such as the proposed easement to the City through approval of its <br />Board at periodic Board meetings. Upon future favorable approval by the property <br />owner and receipt of an executed Deed, the Deed would be executed by the City and <br />6.1.F. - Page 1
