In order to accomplish this goal, it is necessary for the City to acquire a portion of a parcel, commonly known as 6457 Dublin Court (APN 941-0550~OlO~15), owncd by Andrea G. Lee.

Within the area of the proposed acquisition, the property is landseaped with shrubs and includes portions of an asphalt driveway and asphalt pavement. On July 6, 2004, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 130-04, approving a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project in eompliance with the California Environmental Quality Aet. Before the City Council can consider adoption of a Resolution of Necessity, the City must submit a purchase offer to the property owners. The offer, required by Government Code Seetion 7267.2, must be based upon an approved appraisal. The City did have the property appraised and on May 5, 2005, tendered an offer to purchase the property for thc appraised value of $156,500. The City subsequently updated its appraisal - resulting in a new appraised value of $179,450 - and by letter dated September lA, 2005, offered this amount to Andrea G. Lee. To date, however, the City has been unable to negotiate a settlement. To adopt a Resolution ofNeeessity for tlle property, the City C,nlllcil must make the following findings: I) Whether the public interest and necessity require the project. The acquisition of a portion of APN 941-0550"010"15 will enable the City to proeeed with the project to widen the intersection of Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road. 2) Whether the project is planned or located in the manner that will be most compatible with the greatest public good and the least private injury. The Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road alignments require that the subjeet property be acquired for the widening project. The improvements are eonsistent with the City's General Plan. The Dougherty Road Improvements- Houston Place to 1-580 Project was approved by the City Council after study and hearings on November 16, 2004, Resolution No. 222-04. The property to be aequired by the City will not displace any private parties. 3) Whether the property sought to be acquired is uecessary for the project. As previously stated, the widening of Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road requires tlle acquisition of the subject property. The project is necessary for the mitigation of increased traffic at this interseetion. 4) Whether the offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made. The offer has been made. The property owner, and the property owner alone, has the right to address the Council on all of these proposed findings. Others, such as the tenant, may wish to address the Council as well regarding the acquisition and issues related to it, such as goodwill, but their comments should not be eonsidered when making the findings that must be made to adopt the resolution. Adoption of the resolution of neeessity authorizes the City Attorney to institute an eminent domain action to acquire the property. The aetion will be filed promptly should the Council approve the resolution of nccessity. 'The resolution also authorizes an application for an order of possession of the propcrty, which is an order to allow the City to take possession of the property prior to final resolution of the lawsuit, for purposes of constructing the project. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing, deliberate, and adopt the Resolution of Necessity by a 4/5 vote.
