S1036 - ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY, L.A. PRIME PROPERTIES II, LLC DEPARTMENT: Public Works RECOMMENDED ACTION City Council approve the Stipulated Judgment and negotiated settlement (Case No. BC351697) for the right-of-way acquisition for completion of the Bouquet Junction Intersection/Soledad Canyon Road Improvements, Project No. S1036. 2.

BACKGROUND Construction of the proposed improvements to Bouquet Junction intersection will relieve traffic congestion and promote public safety. This intersection is a key component of the circulation element of the City's General Plan. Newhall Land is the developer of Tract Map No. 51931 and is responsible for the implementation of improvements to Bouquet Junction intersection as part of the conditions of approval. Newhall Land has contacted the owner of the property at 26270 Bouquet Canyon Road, but was unsuccessful at obtaining the necessary right-of-way. The right-of-way from all other impacted properties has been acquired. The City and Newhall Land entered into an Off -Site Acquisition Agreement on October 11, 2005. , APPROVED The Bouquet Canyon Bridge project expanded the number of traffic lanes to four lanes, both north and south. The proposed improvements to Bouquet Junction intersection will complete the necessary roadway connections to the improved bridge. Bouquet Junction intersectioh improvements include the installation of triple left turns, northbound from Valencia Boulevard. To accommodate the southerly shift of the roadway alignment, Valencia Boulevard/Soledad Canyon Road will be re -aligned, shifting slightly to the south. The project requires property for a permanent easement for right-of-way of 612 square feet, and a temporary construction easement of 500 square feet. The required property is primarily vacant. Improvements to the property include paving, street trees, and landscaping. No dwellings or buildings are located on the required property. Early negotiations with the property owner did not result in acquisition of the property. The original offer of $30,000.00 was presented to the property owner on October 26, 2005. This offer was based on an appraisal dated July 13, 2005, showing an appraised market value of $30,000.00 for 612 square feet of property, 500 square feet of temporary construction easement, and landscaping improvements. On November 22, 2005, the City Council conducted a public hearing and adopted the Resolution of Necessity No. 05-141 for the acquisition of the property. Negotiations with the property owner were ongoing. On March 20, 2006, the appraisal was updated, showing a revised market value of $41,500.00. The negotiated settlement acknowledges the request for an additional $11,000.00 for signage impacts and the remainder in legal and administrative fees, for a total acquisition cost of $60,000.00. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact created by the approval of the recommended action. Adequate funding has been budgeted in Account No. 51036304-8001 to provide project costs.
