Body
SUMMARY:
Santa Clara Valley Water District (Valley Water) holds an easement for water management and/or storm water drainage purposes over and along Adobe Creek located at the rear of 670 University Avenue (APN: 175-14-024) and 680 University Avenue (APN: 175-14-025) in Los Altos. In response to a request by the underlying fee owner of 670 University Avenue, staff reviewed the existing easement limits. Staff determined that portions of the easement on both 670 University Avenue and 680 University Avenue are not needed for Valley Water purposes and can be quitclaimed. Quitclaiming these portions of the easement will eliminate the administrative burden associated with the maintenance of the easement areas, reduce risk of future disputes or liability that can possibly be associated with the land, and clarify that Valley Water has no intention of performing any maintenance within the easement area as consistent with the easement right. Therefore, staff recommends quitclaiming these land rights.
