TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager to execute a quitclaim of a public utility easement and authorize the City Attorney to accept an easement deed for alley widening at 600 Long Beach Boulevard.
(District 1)
DISCUSSION
The Walgreen Company has plans to build a Walgreen's Drug Store at the northeast
corner of Long Beach Boulevard and Sixth Street. The proposed building footprint overlies
a public utility easement granted to the City of Long Beach in 1919. The interested public
utility agencies have confirmed that there are no remaining public utilities within this area,
which was dedicated to the City of Long Beach for that purpose in 1919. The attached
Exhibits A and B show the project location and parcels to be quit claimed.
This project is located adjacent to a 16-foot wide public alley. Public Works has requested
a 2-foot wide dedication to widen the alley to 18 feet. This was incorporated into the
project conditions accepted by the developer. The 18-foot wide alley should eventually
achieve a standard 20-foot width as future development occurs. The attached Exhibit C
shows the area to be dedicated.
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Lisa Peskay Malmsten on June 7,2005.
In compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Negative Declaration ND 27-
03 was certified for this project.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on June 21,2005, to allow the construction to proceed on
schedule.
FISCAL IMPACT
A quitclaim processing fee of $500 and a dedication fee of $250 were deposited to the
General Fund (GP) in the Department of Public Works.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
