FINANCIAL STATEMENT' None. DESCRIPTION' On December 12, 1988, the City Council adopted Resolution 149-88, a Resolution of Intent to Abandon the Western Terminus of Betlen Drive, which set a public hearing date of February 13, 1989. The Government Code provides that the City's Planning Commission consider any right-of-way abandonments from the standpoint of conformance with the General Plan. At their meeting of February 6, 1989, the Planning Commission considered the item but continued the discussion to their meeting of February 21, as they had some questions regarding the use of the property by DSRSD. Therefore, the City Council's public hearing was continued to the February 27 meeting in order to allow the Planning Commission additional time to make the finding of conformance. The Planning Commission did make the finding of conformance at their meeting of February 21, 1989. L~ When the rightIOf-way of Betlen Drive was originally dedicated, the street ended'at the boundary of Tract 2534 (adjoining Valley Christian Center),q~as shown on Exhibit 3 attached. When Tract 5777, the Pulte Homes development (Hacienda Heights), developed, the westerly end of Betlen Drive was constructed as a knuckle cul-de-sac at its junction with Las Palmas Way. This configuration leaves the remainder of the end of Betlen Drive as excess right-of-way. The area to be abandoned is approximat~e~lv 0.16 acres. If the abandonment is approved,.., this excess right-of-way will revert the ow~-s of the sdjacsnt properties ~- from the cent~l~ so~ah ~o ~omes and from the centerline north to DSRSD. Pulte has stated that they are not interested in utilizing the property as part of the Hacienda Heights Development and plan to quitclaim the property to DSRSD. At the westerr~nost end of the parcel to be abandoned is a small 320+ square foot 5 foot wide "spite strip" parcel which was deeded in fee to the County and which became the property of the City upon incorporation., This ..................................... ~ - _ .......................... ,,~ ITEM NO.~ COPIES TO: Pulte Homes, DSRSD, PG&E, P~cific Bell, Viacom parcel is proposed to be quitclaimed to DSRSD by the City. A letter from DSRSD which states that the District Board of Directors has agreed to accept the parcels subject to improvement by Pulte Homes is attached as Exhibit 6. DSRSD is interested in using this area as a parking area to service their water reservoir. The area would not be used to store vehicles or equipment and would be screened by a six-foot fence. It is anticipated that this use would not have a negative visual impact on the neighboring properties. Pulte Homes is installing the f~nce, as well as landscaping along the street frontage of this parcel. Following adoption of the Resolution of Intent, Staff contacted public utilities and received requests for easements from PG&E, Pacific Bell, and Viacom Cablevision. Copies of their letters are attached, and these requests are incorporated into the Resolution. In addition, the City is reserving an easement for a short run of storm drain. In compliance with the provisions of the Government Code, the Resolution of Intent has additionally been published and posted 15 days prior to this hearing date. Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, adopt the Resolution Abandoning the Western Terminus of Betlen Drive, subject to the easements requested by the utilities and by the City, and adopt the Resolution Approving Quitclaim Deed for Parcel 2. -2- RESOLUTION NO. -89 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN A RESOLUTION VACATING A PUBLIC STREET WESTERN TERMINUS OF BETLEN DRIVE Recitals The City Council of the City of Dublin on December 12, 1989, adopted its Resolution of Intention No. 149-88 to vacate a portion of Betlen Drive (western terminus, westerl~ of Las Palmas Way), a public street in the City of Dublin, as hereinafter described. The City of Dublin Planning Commission considered the proposed vacation on February 6 and February 21, 1989, and found that the proposed vacation of this portion of Betlen Drive is in conformance with the City's General Plan. A public hearing was set for February 13, 1989, and continued to the meeting of February 27, 1989, at which time any person objecting to such vacation was given the opportunity to appear and show cause why such vacation should not be ordered, and notice of such meeting was duly published and posted. Such hearing was held by the City Council on February 13, 1989, and continued on February 27, 1989, and the City Council at the time of such hearing determined that said portion of Betlen Drive was unnecessary for present or prospective public use. NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Dublin does resolve as follows: Section 1. That a portion of Betlen Drive located within the City of Dublin, Alameda County, California, is unnecessary for present or prospective public use and said portion of Betlen Drive, as described in Exhibit A and depicted in Exhibit B attached hereto, is hereby vacated and abandoned, reserving and excepting therefrom easements and rights-of-way to construct, maintain, operate, replace, remove, renew, and enlarge sanitary sewers, storm drains, And public utility services now existing in said area, including all necessary and convenient appurtenant structures and incidental purposes thereto, including access, as described in Exhibit C and depicted in Exhibit D attached hereto.

Your request and a similar one from Pulte Home Corporation were considered by the District's Board of Directors at its meeting held on January 17, 1989. The Board, by motion, conceptually approved acceptance of the parcels subject to the completion of certain improvements to my satisfaction as District Engineer. The improvements include an asphalt parking lot, six-foot-high wooden fence with gates, irrigation systems and landscaping. Pulte Homes Corporation is having construction drawings prepared, which we have reviewed and shall approve for construction as soon as the final drawings are submitted. It is my understanding that quitclaim deeds will be prepared in favor of the District to transfer ownership of the subject parcels. The District will accept the transfer when construction is complete and the necessary documents have been prepared and submitted for signature.
