Part of the garage will extend <br /> under a section of Middlefield Road. In addition, the City is intending to realign a portion <br /> of Middlefield Road. <br /> In researching the title to some of the property associated with the construction of the <br /> public parking garage and realignment of Middlefield Road, it was found that the <br /> Redwood City Elementary School District ("School DistricY'), who formerly owned <br /> T portions of the site, had at one time been given title to what were then portions of the <br /> public street. The deeds date back to 1928, and leave some "cloud" over the issue of <br /> the School DistricYs rights to public streets, which have been used since the City's <br /> inception as public thoroughfares. By recording these quit claim deeds, we will forever <br /> remove any potential claim the School District may have over the title to the public <br /> street. <br /> The attachment is the plat map showing the portions of the right-of-way to be quit <br /> claimed. <br /> Alternative <br /> Do not accept the deeds, lending the possibility of the School District claiming some <br /> kind of property rights to the streets, and thereby delaying the construction of the <br /> underground public parking structure. <br /> Fiscal Impacts <br /> There are no fiscal impacts to the City by this action. <br /> !�l <br /> , <br /> , � / ���� <br /> -�- `�-r .f �� <br /> on K ch �Bruce Liedstrand Ed Everett <br /> City �ngineer Commurnty Development Services Director City Manager <br /> — Attachment — Location Map <br /> JKL:ss <br /> s/library/reports/lynctv'acceptance_Deeds RWC Schools <br />
