Subject: Acceptance of an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication granting an easement for public right-of-way for street and highway purposes for the property located at 13522 Yockey Street, Garden Grove. (Action Item)
OBJECTIVE
For City Council to accept an Irrevocable Offer of Dedication (“IOD”) granting an easement for public right-of-way for street and highway purposes for a portion of the real property located at 13522 Yockey Street, Garden Grove, owned by Hung Van Tran and Mau Thi Vo (“Owners”).
BACKGROUND
The property is located at the southeast corner of Trask Avenue and Yockey Street. Initially, the City reached out to the Owners to inquire about the future plans for the landscaping that is overgrowing into the public right -of-way. As a result, di scussion ensued between the City and Owners regarding their interest in improving their property and the City’s future improvement plans for Yockey Street and its intersection with Trask Avenue. The Owners inquired about the City’s plans to install an additional driveway approach along Yockey Street and if a driveway approach could be installed along Trask Avenue as well to provide additional access to their property. The Owners were informed that the City could work with them on the installation of a second driveway approach along Yockey Street, however, the Trask Avenue driveway approach would require site plan approval. In an effort to assist the City in their future project, the Owners decided to dedicate 10 feet along Yockey Street for an ultimate half-width road right-of-way of 30 feet and a corner cutoff at Trask Avenue ( Attachment 2 - Exhibit B).
After recordation of this transaction and the relocation of the Southern California Edison pole from the travel way of Yockey Street, the City will be able to construct the public street improvements fronting the subject property, which includes asphalt pavement and concrete curb, gutter, sidewalk and curb ramps.
