Agenda Report
The Honorable City Council
Kenneth C. Gilbert, Director of Public Works
March 8, 2002 (Council Meeting 3- 20 -02)
Subject: Acquisition of Joyce Property [AP No. 513 -0- 031 -0451
required for the Los Angeles Avenue East Widening
Project [Project 80121
DISCUSSION
A. Background
The City is in the process of designing a project to widen
Los Angeles Avenue East under the freeway overpass. The
project will require street widening and the construction of
retaining walls along the north side of the street.
B. Description of Joyce Property [513 -0 -031 -045]
The above mentioned street widening project will require
acquisition of additional street rights -of -way, landscape
easements, slope easements, retaining wall easements and
temporary construction easements from the properties along
the north side of the street in the vicinity of Nogales
Avenue. Attached as Exhibit 1 is a map showing the location
of the Joyce property. Attached as Exhibit 2 is a sketch
showing the additional street right -of -way anticipated to be
required from property owned by Judith Joyce. That sketch
does not show additional areas which may be required for
retaining walls and other needs.
The total area of the Joyce property is 16,720 sf. . The area
of possible take could be as high as 9,000 sf.

C. Purchase of Entire Propert
Attached as Exhibit 3 is a letter expressing interest by the
owner in selling the entire property to the City. The asking
price for the entire property is $50,000 [$3.000 /sf +]. Staff
has determined that this is a fair price for the property in
question.
D. Residual Property
If acquired by the City, it would be the intent of staff to
encumber the required rights -of -way and then create a
separate parcel with the residual property. As a part of the
design effort dealing with property access issues, staff will
develop options for the best use of this and other residual
properties in the vicinity. Options may include combining
several properties in this area to form one or more lots
which would be more suitable for building.
E. Budget
There are ample funds budgeted for the acquisition of street
rights -of -way for this project [Project 8012]. The project
is funded by the Los Angeles Avenue AOC Fund [Fund 2501].
STAFF RECOMMENDATION (ROLL CALL VOTE
Authorize staff to proceed with the steps necessary to acquire
the Joyce property for a price consistent with the information in
this report.

Re: 14341 E. Los Angeles Avenue
APN: 513 -0- 031 -045
Approximately 15,950 S.F.Vacant Land
Dear Ken:
Telephone (805) 378 -0073
Fax No. (805) 378 -0080
I have confirmed that Judith Joyce, widow of Randolph Joyce, will consider selling the above - referenced
parcel of land to the City for $50,000.00
Mrs. Joyce would rather sell the entire parcel than go through the City acquisition process for the
approximate 5,726 S.F. (approximately 38' of frontage) proposed for road widening purposes. She would be
left with a basically unusable parcel of steep upslope should the City only take the 38' road widening portion.
The price is easily comparable to single family lot values in our area. It is at the low end of the range
due to the location of the property, and the proposed street widening project impacts.
Attached is a copy of the APN Map and a Sheet from the City's Los Angeles Avenue East, Right of
Way plans for reference.
Upon City Council approval, please advise whether you wish our firm to handle escrow and title
processes, and whether the granting document should go to the City or to the Redevelopment Agency.
