Adopt a resolution of the Board of Supervisors for the Chair to execute an Easement Deed and Right of Way Agreement (Easement) to the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) across a portion of Stillwater Cove Regional Park for drainage improvements along Highway 1. (Fifth District)
end
Executive Summary:
Caltrans is proposing to repair storm damage and improve drainage along Highway 1 at Stillwater Cover Regional Park. For Caltrans to perform the repairs and construct the improvements they will require an Easement along a portion of Stillwater Cove Regional Park. The Easement area is a sloped area along Highway 1 not accessible to the public.
Discussion:
Caltrans is requesting the sale of an easement for performing drainage improvements along Highway 1 at Stillwater Cove Regional Park (Park). The work is in the vicinity of Post Mile 37.4 in the road shoulder along Highway and consists of the replacement of an existing culvert and armoring the outlet side of the pipe to improve drainage and minimize erosion of the road shoulder. The easement area to be purchased is 1,087 square feet.
Caltrans will pay compensation in the amount of $500 for the proposed Easement. This amount is consistent with other small easements acquired for such purposes wherein there is a nominal value for the conveyance and the compensation is to offset the costs associated with conveying the proposed Easement.
The Easement would not affect the public’s use of the Park or complicate future park plans, such as the California Coastal Trail which will be nearby. However, access along Highway 1 may be restricted during construction. The Park was acquired under the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) program. Consistent with the requirements of the original purchase of the Park property under the LWCF program, the funds for the sale of the Easement will be appropriated by technical adjustment in the 2022/23 capital improvements project budget for improvements to the Park.
