CONSENT CALENDAR Jeff Kolify DATE: January 14, 1992 ' SUBJECT: Acceptance of the Begonias Lane and Oak Springs park sites DEPARTMENT: Parks and Recreation BACKGROUND The Pinetree/Timberlane annexation into the City of Santa.Clarita included two undeveloped, five acre park sites. The sitesareOak Springs park site, which is located on the comer of Oak Springs Canyon Road and .Ada Street, and Begonias Lane park site, which is located on Begonias Lane just west of Shadow Pines Boulevard. Both park sites are currently owned by the County of Los Angeles, but are now located within the Santa Clarita City limits and are found to be local in nature.

Quitclaim deeds to transfer property .title to the City have been completed and await acceptance by the City Council. A copy of the Report to the County Board of Supervisors recommending conveyance of the park sites to the City and the executed Quitclaim Deeds are attached for your review. Prior to accepting the undeveloped park sites by Council, staff required a general cleaning up of the sites .by the County. Weed abatement and the removal of various forms of trash and debris was necessary to bring the sites up to City standards. The County has complied with the City's request and has removed the weeds and debris from the park sites. A design consultant has been hired by the City to prepare the plans for development of Begonias Lane park site. The construction documents are complete and the project is out to bid in an effort to expedite the completion of this park. It is anticipated that the Begonias Lane Park will be completed and open for public use in December of 1992. FISCAL IMPACT Maintenance. responsibilities and costs will be 'absorbed by existing parks maintenance staff for fiscal. year 91-92. Staff will evaluate the impact of the additional improved park acreage during the 92-93 budget process. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council accept the' Quitclaim Deeds to both Begonias Lane park site and Oak Springs park site.
