Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
The Latrobe Road Widening Project (72403), Phase 2, including the subject property acquisition costs of $1.00 for the fee title and $700.00 for the title and escrow fees, for a total of $701.00, will be paid from prepaid traffic impact mitigation fees paid by the Valley View Development. There is no cost to the County General Fund.
Background:
The El Dorado County Department of Transportation (DOT) proposes to improve a portion of the Latrobe Road corridor in and near the community of El Dorado Hills. The project limits are on Latrobe Road between Suncast Lane and Golden Foothill Parkway. The subject parcel is located on the east side of Latrobe Road.
Reason for Recommendation:
The Department of Transportation previously acquired a slope easement from EID for the construction of the Latrobe Road Widening Project, Phase 1. However, the Phase 2 project improvements include the construction of a sidewalk in the slope easement area, and it is the preference of both EID and the County that the County acquire this area in fee, to appropriately address any liability issues and to ensure maintenance of the sidewalk as an improvement within County right of way.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) Chairman of the Board to execute the Acquisition Agreement for Public Purposes and Certificate of Acceptance for the associated deed, affecting a portion of the subject parcel.
2) Board Clerk to return all executed documents to the DOT R/W Unit for final processing.
3) Director of Transportation or designee to sign the escrow instructions and any related escrow documents pertaining to the transaction, including authorization for and payment to the subject property owner and title company.
