TITLE
Recommendation to authorize City Manager, or designee, to accept an easement deed from Shil Kyoung Park and Minah Park, Trustees of the Shil Park and Minah Park Living Trust, owners of the property at
2011 East Spring Street, for the installation of public utilities; and
Accept Categorical Exemption CE-18-124. (District 5)
DISCUSSION
Shil Park and Minah Park Living Trust dated March 29, 2005, owners of the property at 2011 East Spring Street, are improving the interior and exterior of the existing building. The building has been converted to a convenience store. To accommodate the improvements and modifications, it is necessary that an easement be granted to the City of Long Beach (City) to allow for installation of a water line (Attachment A). The water line is necessary to connect the business to the City’s water supply system.
City staff conducted a review of affected agencies and there were no objections to the proposed easement. In conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act, Categorical Exemption CE-18-124 was issued for this project on May 4, 2018 (Attachment B).
This matter was reviewed by Deputy City Attorney Erin Weesner-McKinley on October 31, 2019 and by Budget Analysis Officer Julissa José-Murray on October 30, 2019.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action on this matter is not time critical.
FISCAL IMPACT
An easement processing fee in the amount of $3,195 was deposited in the General Fund Group in the Public Works Department. This recommendation has no staffing impact beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is consistent with existing City Council priorities. There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
SUGGESTED ACTION
Approve recommendation.
Respectfully Submitted,
CRAIG A. BECK,
DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS
