6.1.B. - Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager January 11 , 2016 SUBJECT Sidewalk Easement Deeds granted by Ricky Hung Ngo and Yung Le for the properties at 353 and 355 Alameda De Las Pulgas RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve the Sidewalk Easements, and authorize the City Manager to, upon receipt of a signed Deeds, accept the Sidewalk Easement Deeds granted by Ricky Hung Ngo and Yung Le for the properties at 353 and 355 Alameda De Las Pulgas, execute the Certificate of Acceptance for such Deeds, and modify the content of the Sidewalk Easement Deeds as necessary to receive signed Deeds BACKGROUND On July 28, 2014 the City Council approved and authorized the City Manager to enter into an Improvement Agreement with Ricky Hung Ngo and Yung Le to cover the cost of sidewalk improvements between Harding Ave and the Hetch Hetchy right-of-way. The sidewalk improvements are associated with the development of 353 and 355 Alameda De Las Pulgas. Per the agreement, the property owners are obligated to pay the cost for their frontage improvements and the cost of the right-of-way improvement design for the full length of the project. During the approval of the plans for the development of the properties, City staff determined that a dedication would be required for the sidewalk improvements. ANALYSIS The improvement plans prepared for the original development had identified that a sidewalk easement would be necessary for the installation of the proposed sidewalk. City staff completed preliminary design work to identify the required dedication, and prepared the necessary documentation. Accepting the dedication of the sidewalk easement at this time will avoid additional steps in the future, as the sidewalk project must be fully constructed five years after the effective date of the agreement (August 18, 2019). The improvement plans for the development of the properties have also been reviewed and approved by City staff based on the considerations of the future sidewalk improvement design. The easement presented for approval is limited to the right of ingress and egress for public purposes. This will meet the City's current and future needs for the sidewalk improvements and ensure that the area remain free of structures.
