Contra
Costa
County
Subject:APPROVE the Sale of 2,192 square feet of Real Property to Sandra M. Scranton, Alamo area.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Buyer will pay the County $30,000 to acquire the Property, and will pay all costs related to this conveyance.
There will be no cost to the County.
BACKGROUND:
Contra Costa County continues its efforts to identify encroachments within the IHC., a county highway. When
identified the encroachments are: 1) cleared from the IHC when they are a public safety concern 2) allowed
temporary occupancy under a license agreement 3) in rare cases small areas of the IHC that can be considered
surplus sold or transferred.
Over the years different property owners of 1554 Manning Lane, Alamo, which abuts the IHC, have placed
various improvements within a small portion of the IHC that have been identified as encroachments. The
improvements include landscaping, fencing, walkway, edge of pool, portion of the house and a shed. Some of
these improvements existed when the County acquired the IHC in the mid 1980’s. The improvements are
significant enough that the current owner Sandra M. Scranton, TRE requests that the County consider selling her
the encroachment area that is approximately 10’ in width and 188’ in length containing 2,192 sq. ft. Staff has
reviewed the request and has found that the sale of this area will not interfere with the current or future uses of the
IHC, and therefore is no longer required for county highway purposes.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
The County will retain ownership of the property and will need to take steps to require removal of the
improvements at considerable expense to the adjacent Property owner and County.
CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:
Not applicable.
