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.

Copy of Deed Restriction
RECOMMENDATION: ~~~AdoPt resolution issuing encroachment permit subject to the
, Zoning Administrator's approval of PA 92-022.
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.
