Council Communication

Title:	Approval of quitclaim deed to remove easement on Perozzi property
Dept:	Legal Department
Date:	June 17, 2003
Submitted By:	Paul Nolte
Approved By: ...........................	Gino Grimaldi, City Administrator

Synopsis:	The quitclaim deed will remove a 1966 easement granted by Southern Oregon College to the City for street, sidewalk and utility purposes to connect Pinecrest Terrace to Elkader Street (map attached). In 2002 this property was subdivided and the subdivision plat dedicates the property described in the easement to the City of Ashland for Astreet, sidewalk, utility and slope easements.
Recommendation:	Authorize the Mayor to sign the quitclaim deed on behalf of the City.
Fiscal Impact:	None.
Background:	Southern Oregon University sold the Perozzi property to developers in 2001 for the purpose of subdividing the property. The Perozzi property lies outside the Ashland city limits. In the process of subdivision approval, the city sought and received commitments for improvement of an easement through the subdivision that connects Pinecrest Terrace to Elkader Street. The improvements have now been made and the street has been dedicated to the City. There is no reason to retain the underlying easement.
