Bueren, Public Works Date:October 16, 2012 Contra Costa County Subject:HEARING to adopt Resolution No. 2012/436 to vacate a portion of Orwood Road. FISCAL IMPACT: 100% Road Funds BACKGROUND: In 2007, Contra Costa County (County) entered into a Joint Exercise of Powers Agreement (JEPA) with East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to study improvements at an overcrossing approximately 2,000 feet west of the Cruiser Haven Marina along Orwood Road. The County has historically provided maintenance of the overcrossing and adjacent easement; however, County survey staff recently verified that EBMUD owns the overcrossing. The County has notified EBMUD that maintenance will no longer be provided for the overcrossing, described in the Grant Deed recorded December 6, 1951 in Book 1861 of Official Records, at Page 515. In addition, the County has an easement over a small segment of Orwood Road, east of the overcrossing. The County intends to vacate this easement and end all road maintenance activity east of the overcrossing. The County vacating this portion of Orwood Road will have no effect on the current ownership of the property. The County will continue to maintain Orwood Road west of the overcrossing. The Resolution of Intention was posted two weeks before the hearing, in accordance with Streets and Highway, Code Section 8323. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: The County would continue to maintain an area unnecessary for public use. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
