Page AT &T California 3475 B North First Street, Rm. 200 San Jose, CA 95134 RE: CONDITIONAL VACATION OF CHEMICAL WAY RIGHT -OF -WAY, INCLUDING THE PUBLIC SERVICES EASEMENT Dear Mr. Page, The City of Redwood City will be considering a resolution of intent to vacate the Chemical Way right -of -way and public services easement thereunder, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions (including approval of utility plans by all affected agencies utility providers), at a public hearing on December 21, 2010. Copies of the notice of public hearing, which includes a map showing the area proposed to be vacated and proposed resolution of intent to vacate are enclosed. As outlined in the resolution, the City and County of San Mateo have been working together over the last several months to locate a site for a County jail facility. Last month, the City and County entered into a Memorandum of Understanding ( "MOU ") regarding the proposed development of the jail facility on a site comprised of four parcels located at 20, 50, 70 and 80 Chemical Way within the Woodhouse Industrial Park. The MOU contemplates that the County will acquire the four parcels, demolish the existing improvements and develop a new jail facility on the assembled property. Pursuant to the MOU the County is currently in the process of preparing development plans, including plans for the relocation of utilities, and an environmental review of the proposed replacement jail facility. In order to provide County with assurances of the City's cooperation in the development of the jail facility, the City has agreed to proceed with a conditional vacation of the Chemical Way right -of -way, including the public services easement, with the understanding that such vacation will not take effect unless and until several conditions are met, one of which is that the County must obtain approval from all applicable agencies and utility providers of plans for relocation or removal and replacement of utility conduits and facilities currently located within the Chemical Way right -of -way. Further details regarding the conditions to effectiveness of the vacation are set forth in the enclosed resolution of intent to vacate. #15073 MUFF # 606
