MANIS, CITY MANAGER .1 DATE: OCTOBER 24, 2017 SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 2017-55 — ADOPTION OF RESOLUTION ACCEPTING A QUITCLAIM DEED OF PUBLIC ROAD AND HIGHWAY EASEMENT FOR A PORTION OF RIVER AVENUE LOCATED SOUTH OF GARVEY AVENUE SUMMARY In accordance with the City of Rosemead Municipal Code Section No. 16.08.220, Los Angeles County has submitted an executed Quitclaim Deed to forever quitclaim to the City of Rosemead, all its right, title, and interest in that portion of River Avenue as shown Exhibit "B". The City Engineer has determined that the Quitclaim Deed of Public Road and Highway Easement Offer of Dedication are necessary and appropriate to allow access to the landlocked property at 2562 River Avenue at Fern Avenue. City staff is requesting the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2017-55, accepting the quitclaim and authorizing the City Manager to execute the Certificate of Acceptance. DISCUSSION On December 16, 1958, a resolution of intention was adopted by the Board of Supervisors from the County of Los Angeles in the matter of proposed vacation of portions of River Avenue and Muscatel Avenue, located easterly of Walnut Grove Avenue. The Board of Supervisors determined that portions of River Avenue and Muscatel Avenue be vacated and abandoned, subject to provisions of then-codified Section 959.1 of the Streets and Highways Code of the State of California. Nevertheless, the described portions were never vacated by Los Angeles County. City staff and Los Angeles County staff could not find any document officially vacating the property following the resolution of intention. Therefore, the property located at 2562 River Avenue is a"Landlocked Property", meaning the property has no direct access to a public street. On July 8, 2015, the City Manager of the City of Rosemead requested that Los Angeles County prepare the necessary documents in order to quitclaim to the City of Rosemead, a portion of its current easement for public access/road purposes adjacent to 2562 River Avenue and Whittier Narrows Golf Course. The City desires to provide public access for the property owner through 1 the area, which is covered by the current easement, in order to alleviate the landlocked status of ITEM NUMBER: J 5 City Council Meeting October 24,2017 Page 2 of 2 the property.
