BACKGROUND: The subject Public Utilities Easement (PUE) crosses three properties, located at 61, 67, & 81 Martens Boulevard. The easement was not shown on a recorded map, but is listed on recorded deeds. The easement serves four properties located at 61, 67, 73, & 81 Martens Boulevard. There are no known utilities within this easement, and this easement is not utilized by the property owners served by the easement or a utility. The original purpose of this easement is unknown. On January 4, 2016, the Department of Public Works forwarded written requests to the utilities operating in the area to identify any objections to vacation and abandonment of this easement. There are no known objections to the vacation of this easement. The vacation of this easement is requested by the owner of 81 Martens Blvd., who has provided a written letter of support signed by the affected property owners of 61, 67 and 73 Martens Blvd. Currently, an existing structure encroaches on the easement and the owner is requesting the vacation of the easement to make further improvements on the property. ANALYSIS: California Streets and Highways Code Section 8320 authorizes the legislative body of a local agency to initiate a proceeding for general vacation upon a petition or request of an interested person. Vacation of this easement is requested by the property owner of 81 Martens Boulevard. A written letter of support was also provided, signed by the affected property owners of 61, 67 and 73 Martens Boulevard. The Department of Public Works sent on January 4, 2016 a FOR CITY CLERK ONLY File No.: 2-4-41 Council Meeting: 04/18/2016 Disposition: Resolution 14104 SAN RAFAEL CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT / Paye: 2 written request to a total of five utilities operating in the area to identify any objections to vacation and abandonment of this easement. While four utilities responded and do not have objections, no response was received from AT&T/Pac-Bell. While it would be helpful to have written confirmation from these utilities stating that they do not object to the vacation easement, this is not required. Based on the Streets and Highways Code Section 8320, the City is required to provide notice of the proposed hearing to the utilities and they have the option to respond prior to or at the hearing. FISCAL IMPACT: None OPTIONS: 1. Adopt the resolution and schedule the public hearing for May 16, 2016. 2. Adopt the resolution and schedule the public hearing for a date more convenient to City Council. 3.
