HEARING TO CONSIDER A PROPOSAL TO INITIATE EMINENT DOMAIN PROCEEDINGS to purchase a public roadway easement for the Bair Island Road Extension Project, which will improve the roadway, extend and continue the currently existing City street known as Bair Island Road to Pete's Harbor, and serve to confirm the public use that already exists. The property owner, through attorney Norman Matteoni, will address the Council on this issue. Under Eminent Domain Law this hearing is not for the purpose of hearing the general public. (205) REPORT: Engineering and Construction Manager Joel Patterson, April 6, 1998 Draft Proposal for Public Access to Inner Bair Island, Norman Matteoni, POST, 11 pages of text plus Exhibits City Manager Everett introduced Redwood City's eminent domain attorney, Herman Fitzgerald, who introduced his daughter, Christine, a senior partner in his firm. Mr. Fitzgerald, using poster exhibits and blueprints described the subject area, road and proposed easement. He said the proposed easement extends from the end of the pavement from the existing Bair Island Roadway out to Pete's Harbor. Mr. Fitzgerald said, "The use has been as a City street for approximately 40 years... and it is designated in the General Plan dated January 22, 1990, as a local street." He said, "The project for which the easement is to be acquired would be a reconstruction of that portion of Bair Island extension road.... It will be approximately 50 feet in width with bike paths on either side." Mr. Fitzgerald said the purposes of the project were to accomplish, "increased public safety by bringing the existing pavement up to City street standards. It will enhance the public access.... The use will remain the same, and it will also provide continual access for the adjacent properties... Pete's Harbor and the Riab property next to it and to the POST property."
