Direct the 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 21603 Kyra Court and 21602 Kyra Court (Tract Map No. 52807) was dedicated to Los Angeles County (County) and recorded on October 10, 2000. In Fiscal Year 2012-13, the City of Santa Clarita (City) annexed over 2,400 acres of inhabited territory from the County, including the Kyra Court properties, located north of Copper Hill Drive, off of Haskell Canyon Drive. The purpose of the easement was to provide access for maintaining landscaping improvements. While the Kyra Court properties are adjacent to Landscape Maintenance District (LMD) Zone T62, they were not annexed into that zone and are therefore not included in the zone's maintenance responsibilities. Consequently, there is no funding source allocated for the ongoing maintenance of the easement area. Given this context, staff recommends vacating the easement, as it falls outside of any designated maintenance zone and has no funding source to support ongoing maintenance. The City has consulted with the property owners, who agree with this recommendation. If the vacation is Page 1 Packet Pg. 205 approved, responsibility for maintenance within the easement area will transfer to the respective property owners. A copy of the original easement document, along with a survey identifying the specific easement area, is included for reference. Pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 8333, the City may summarily vacate a public service easement if the easement has been determined to be excess and no public facilities exist within it. Based on these statutory conditions, staff has determined the 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.
