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. Joyce _prop L. A. Avenue East Widening Project Joyce Property Acquisition March 8, 2002 Page 2 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.

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. gS rely /, lN� n W.
