DISCUSSION
PG&E requires approximately a 124 square foot easement and access rights to a portion of Piedmont Park, identified in Exhibit A to the Resolution, for the purposes of providing electrical connection to the proposed four (4) electric vehicle charging stations to be installed along Magnolia Avenue. The charging station will be available for public use near the Piedmont Park main entryway from Magnolia Avenue. The project has received permitting approval through the City’s Building Department. However, prior to PG&E commencing work, the easement will need to be granted to PG&E and recorded with the Alameda County Recorder’s Office.
