Acquisition costs are $5,600.00, with estimated title and escrow fees of $1,200.00, for a total approximate cost of $6,800.00. The Angora Creek Fisheries/Stream Environment Zone (SEZ) Enhancement Project #JN95161 is funded from the California Tahoe Conservancy (CTC), the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) and the Bureau of Reclamation (USBR), and sufficient funds are in the project budget for the subject acquisition. There is no net cost to the County's General Fund associated with this agenda item.
Background:
The Department of Transportation (DOT) has been working to advance this grant-funded project for various drainage improvements, including the removal of existing culverts, the installation of a three-sided concrete bridge, curb and gutter, and pertaining to the subject property, re-grading of the creek channel and adjacent slopes, and re-vegetation of the disturbed areas and downstream creek bed areas.
Reason for Recommendation:
On October 20, 2009, your Board authorized DOT’s R/W unit staff to proceed with final negotiations to acquire land rights from the subject property owner. Negotiations with Patrick B. Hennessy, Trustee of the Patrick B. Hennessy Trust dated July 18, 2008 have concluded and a settlement has been reached that is representative of the appraised value of the necessary land rights.
Action to be taken Following Approval:
1. The Board Chair to execute the Easement Acquisition Agreement for Public Purposes and the Certificate of Acceptance for the Drainage easement and temporary construction easement.
2. The Board Clerk to return all executed documents to the DOT R/W Unit Staff for final processing.
3. The Director of Transportation or designee to sign the Escrow Instructions and any related escrow documents connected to this transaction. All executed documents and all funds necessary to close escrow are to be provided to the title company for final audit and recording.
