Authorize Mayor to execute quitclaim deed. 2) FINANCIAL STATEMENT: FC Investments has agreed to pay the sum of $5,000 plus attorney's fees for a quitclaim of abutter's rights. DESCRIPTION: In May of 1992, the City Council considered and approved an application from David Malcolm for an encroachment permit to allow driveway access to Almond Plaza Shopping Center from San Ramon Road. The Council- approved encroachment permit was necessary because of a deed restriction on the Almond Plaza property which relinquished the property owner's rights to access from San Ramon Road. (See agenda statement, Exhibit 4.) Under the City's Municipal Code, an encroachment permit is not transferable, and Mr. Malcolm subsequently became concerned that, should the property be sold at a future date, the new owner would then need to apply for a similar permit to keep the driveway access to San Ramon Road. In addition, there was difference of opinion between the City Attorney and the property owner's attorney as to whether the City's abutter's rights actually exist. The City Attorney has negotiated an agreement with FC Investments (Mr. Malcolm's firm) which provides that the City will quitclaim the abutter's rights for compensation in the amount of $5,000 plus the City's attorney's fees in connection with this matter. The agreement includes a condition that, should the driveway access be found hazardous in the future, the City may require its closure at the expense of the property owner. The agreement also includes a "waiver of compensation" in which the property owner waives any claim of damages should the City require closure of the driveway under the terms of the agreement. The property owner is further required to obtain any permits that are normally required for construction of the driveway. This agreement is transferable. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution approving the agreement and authorize the Mayor to execute the agreement and quitclaim deed. a: (9293)\january\agstalpz - - - - - - - - -; /- - L - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ITEM NO.~ COPIES TO: David Malcolm () I~ FILE~ RESOLUTION NO. -93 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH FC INVESTMENTS FOR DRIVEWAY ACCESS FROM SAN RAMON ROAD TO ALMOND PLAZA SHOPPING CENTER (QUITCLAIM OF ABUTTER'S RIGHTS) WHEREAS, FC Investments, owner of Almond Plaza Shopping Center, has requested driveway access from San Ramon Road to Almond Plaza Shopping Center; and WHEREAS, an existing deed restriction precludes such access by means of the City's abutter's rights; and WHEREAS, the City wishes to allow FC Investments to construct the driveway access under the terms and conditions of the agreement attached as Exhibit "A"; and WHEREAS, the City will be compensated for quitclaim of abutter's rights, according to the terms of the agreement, in the amount of $5,000 plus its attorney's fees; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Dublin does hereby approve the agreement with FC Investments, which is attached as Exhibit "A".

FINANCIAL STATEMENT: The cost of staff time for this project is paid by the applicant. DESCRIPTION: Mr. Ted Urban, a representative for Mr. David Malcolm, owner of Almond Plaza Shopping Center on Regional Street (location of the Sizzler, Payless Shoe Source, and other businesses) has submitted an application for a Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review (PA 92-022) for a new shopping center entrance off San Ramon Road. There is an existing deed restriction on the property which relinquishes the property owner's rights to access San Ramon Road (see Exhibit 3). The State originally acquired abutter's rights from the property owner a number of years ago. Subsequently, the State relinquished the San Ramon Road right-of-way to the County of Alameda. The City assumed all of the County's rights to the road upon annexation. The City Attorney has advised that, because of the deed restriction, the property owner must obtain an encroachment permit from the City Council in order to obtain driveway access to San Ramon Road. A Zoning Administrator hearing for this project is tentatively scheduled for June 3, 1992. City Council approval of the encroachment permit must be obtained before the Zoning Administrator can act on the application. The encroachment permit approval would be subject to subsequent approval of the Conditional Use Permit/Site Development Review by the Zoning Administrator. Public Works Staff has reviewed the proposed location of the driveway and feels that such access would not adversely affect traffic on San Ramon Road. Because of its proximity to the San Ramon Road/Amador Valley Boulevard intersection, Staff has recommended the new driveway be "in-only." The applicant has concurred with this recommendation. Per the City Attorney, the encroachment permit approval is not assignable and is proposed to be revocable at the desire of the City upon three months' advance written notice. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution granting an encroachQent permit to Mr. Malcolm, subject to the Zoning Administrator's approval of PA 92-022. a: (corres)\may\agstdwy - - -- - - - -- -- - - - -- - - - --- - - - - - -- -- - --------- - --------- - - - ---- ---- --- - ----- - - -- --- ITEM NO. 8.1 COPIES TO: Mr. Tee: Mr. Dav File: .. . ...-, 'x' ,';'; >,J-,:'",:. ..j '; L ,. ,.. ~~- K . .7r:l
