1. Adopt a resolution for the summary vacation of the landscape maintenance easement at
19606 Monarch Ridge Drive, as described in the attached Legal Description Exhibit.
2. Direct City Clerk to record the certified original resolution in the County of Los Angeles
Registrar -Recorder's office.
BACKGROUND
A landscape maintenance easement located at 19606 Monarch Ridge Drive (Tract Map No.
48108) was dedicated to the City's Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) and recorded on
September 9, 1996. The dedication of this maintenance easement provides access for the City to
maintain landscape improvements located within LMD Zone 5 (Sunset Hills).
The owner of the subject property would like to construct a swimming pool in their backyard on
property which they already own in fee, but is currently encumbered by the existence of the
above referenced LMD maintenance easement. The easement proposed for summary vacation
encompasses approximately 460 square feet of excess area primarily inclusive of a drain swale
which only benefits this specific parcel.
A resolution and legal description has been prepared by the property owner identifying the area
proposed for vacation. The existing easement exclusively serves the landscape maintenance
district and supports no additional public purpose. The property owner will be required to
reconstruct a drain swale and will ensure any excess irrigation infrastructure is removed from the

area to be vacated.
Per Section 8333 of the California Streets and Highways Code, the legislative body of a local
agency may summarily vacate a public service easement if the easement has been determined to
be excess by the easement holder and there are no other public facilities located within the
easement. Based on these conditions, staff has determined the subject easement to be excess and
eligible for vacation.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
