RECOMMENDATION:
Accept and authorize the City Manager to sign the attached Sidewalk Easement Agreement on behalf of the City.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
There is no fiscal impact associated with accepting the proposed sidewalk easement.
Any future maintenance or improvements of the accepted sidewalk will be planned within the City’s existing sidewalk maintenance program.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
To ensure Americans with Disability Act (ADA) compliance and accessibility for all pedestrians, the City worked with the property owner, Evangelical Free Church of Diamond Bar, at 3255 S Diamond Bar Blvd, to obtain a sidewalk easement. This easement will allow the City to maintain and improve the sidewalk to meet ADA standards along the frontage of the two driveways on Diamond Bar Blvd (Attachment 2).
Accepting this sidewalk easement will allow the City to ensure that pedestrian access in this area meets ADA requirements and remains accessible for public use. The easement provides the City with the authority to maintain and make any necessary future modifications to the sidewalk without requiring further private agreements.
The proposed easement document (Attachment 1) has been reviewed and approved by the City Attorney and the City’s engineering consultant, ensuring all legal and technical requirements have been met.
The proposed action authorizes the City Manager to sign and accept this easement on behalf of the City.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed and approved the Agreement as to form.
