3K-1 To REPORT February .7,2000 Subject License and Indemnification Agreement with Redwood Shores Properties, Inc. Engineering File No. 1601-99 . Recommendation 1. Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing execution of a License and Indemnification Agreement between Redwood Shores Properties and the City of - Redwood City, allowing the City, on behalf of General Improvement District 1-64 (GID 1-64), to install fences, gates, public access trails, and observation decks associated with the Redwood Shores Levee Improvement Project. 2. Accept easements dedicated by Redwood Shores Properties for the same purpose. Background The construction activities for the rehabilitation of the exterior levee system protecting the Redwood Shores Peninsula started in August of 1997. Because this is a major undertaking for the City, the construction is broken into several smaller projects. At this time, the majority of the actual work on the levee segments themselves has been completed, with the exception of Segment 1 (stretching from the Airport to approximately Fire Station 20), and Segment 3 (within SBSA). A portion of the - mitigation for environmental impacts and public access improvements has also been. completed. However those that involved Area "H" have not been started pending this action. As part of the permit package, which was approved by the different agencies involved, public access to various portions of the levee is to be modified and reconfigured. The Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC) played an important role in designating various public access facilities such as observation decks, trails, bicycle ways, benches, and parking spaces. Some of these facilities lie in Area "H," which is privately-owned by Redwood Shores Properties, Inc. The License and Indemnification Agreement will allow the City to install these facilities, while the Easement will allow the public use access along the bicycle/pedestrian path paralleling Shearwater Parkway, and the City to maintain these as public facilities. The first improvement to be installed which would need this license would be the fencing. Depending on the outcome of the City's negotiation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and BCDC, the City mayor may not have to install the alternative .,;0 " SPV:ss s/Iibrary/reportsipeter/IJcense agreement and easement for H. doc ~"--"--"T
