Summary Recommendation

end
STRATEGIC OUTCOME:
This item supports the City Council’s strategic outcomes of Safe and Prosperous and Respected and Responsible by placing ownership and maintenance responsibility for the right-of-way with Yuma County, the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the property.
REPORT:
The applicant for the Las Palmeras subdivision, located in unincorporated Yuma County, requested City of Yuma water and sewer service. In connection with the requested utility service, the applicant entered into a pre-annexation development agreement recorded on July 12, 2007, as Yuma County Recorder Fee No. 2007-24949. The agreement required development in accordance with City construction standards and dedication of right-of-way to the City.
The subdivision construction plans underwent a coordinated review by the City of Yuma and Yuma County and were approved by the applicable reviewing entities. The subject right-of-way was subsequently conveyed to the City by Warranty Deed dated July 22, 2009, and recorded as Yuma County Recorder Fee No. 2009-20264. See attached location map.
Yuma County has requested ownership of the right-of-way so the County may own, operate, and maintain the right-of-way within its jurisdiction. The property is not needed for an independent City right-of-way purpose and may be declared surplus, subject to the reservation of easements for existing City water and sewer facilities.
This Ordinance authorizes the City Administrator to execute and record a quitclaim deed, in a form approved by the City Attorney, and to execute related documents necessary to complete the conveyance. The deed may include provisions necessary to protect existing water and sewer mains, water laterals, and City access rights.
Upon acceptance and recordation of the quitclaim deed, Yuma County will hold the conveyed property for public right-of-way purposes and will assume ownership and maintenance responsibility of the right-of-way, except for water service to the meter and the sewer main in accordance with the terms of the recorded deed.
Exhibit A describes the right-of-way as approximately 41,196.10 square feet, or 0.946 acres, within Lot 45 of the Marable-Vaughn Subdivision.
