SUBJECT: COUNCIL RECOMMENDED ACTION REGARDING RHONE LANE/OC SAN REG
MILLER-HOLDER EASEMENT
ISSUE STATEMENT
OC San wants to exercise their 63 -year-old easement (Miller-Holder easement) west of Rhone Lane (and south of Heil Ave.) in Huntington Beach. Over the years residents/owners have placed pools, structures, plants, sheds, etc. on the easement that has a six-foot pressurized raw sewage pipe below the easement. The pipe was installed before any of the homes were built and the easement documents state the conditions of the 63 -year-old easement. Residents/owners and OC San are trying to work out an agreement of a conflict on how to exercise the easement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
It is requested that the Huntington Beach City Council direct the City Manager and City Attorney to work with OC San and the residents and homeowners of Rhone Lane affected by the Miller- Holder easement towards an agreeable solution if asked by both OC San and the Owners/Residents.
