BACKGROUND:
Scott and Claire Selinger (“Selingers”) own San Mateo County Assessor’s Parcel Number 057-163-120 (the “Property”), which is located at 647 Park Road in unincorporated Redwood City. The Emerald Lake Sewer Maintenance District has a sanitary sewer easement across a portion of the Property which grants the right to install, operate, and maintain a sanitary sewer line. The existing sanitary sewer line was constructed with a segment located outside of the boundaries of the easement. The Selingers desire to grant the County a new easement to eliminate the encroachment and realign the sanitary sewer easement so that the sewer line is situated in the middle of the easement.
DISCUSSION:
Real Property Services has prepared the Agreement, Deed, and Exchange of Easements, which authorizes the County to accept from Selingers a new sanitary sewer easement that coincides with the sanitary sewer line. The new easement will grant the County the right to construct, repair, maintain, replace and operate underground pipelines and appurtenant facilities for sanitary sewer purposes. In exchange for the new easement, the County will quitclaim all right, title and interest in the existing easement.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the agreement and associated documents as to form.
Approval of this action will contribute to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Collaborative Community by allowing the property owner to continue to use its private improvements while maintaining the County’s right to operate and maintain the public sanitary sewers.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact to the County General Fund as a result of the Agreement, Deed, or Exchange of Easements.
