A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
COSTA MESA, CONCERNING THE SALE OF AN IRREGULARLY
SHAPED AND SIZED PARCEL OF EXCESS PROPERTY LOCATED
AT VANGUARD WAY AND NEWPORT BOULEVARD, AND AUTHOR-
IZING THE EXECUTION OF A GRANT DEED THEREFOR.
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COSTA MESA DOES HEREBY RESOLVE AS
FOLLOWS:
THAT, WHEREAS, the City of Costa Mesa, hereinafter called "CITY",
intends to extend and improve the southerly end of Vanguard Way to its
conjunction with Newport Boulevard in the City; and
WHEREAS, in performing said extension of said right-of-way, the
City has had to acquire a parcel from the State of California of approx-
imately 8,553.39 square feet, which has been accomplished; and
WHEREAS, after the street alignment and improvements are installed,
there will remain as surplus a triangular shaped parcel of land of
approximately 1,297.61 square feet adjacent to said right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, a private developer, RICHARD A. SEWELL and SANDRA L.
SEWELL, hereinafter referred to as "SEWELL", is in the process of and
intends to develop a larger parcel adjacent to said triangular parcel;
and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa finds and
declares that said triangular parcel is surplus and unusable as a
separate parcel, being of irregular shape and size, so that unless
acquired by the adjoining landowner it would be unusable for any inde-
pendent development; and
WHEREAS, it further finds that the City will secure the same price
in selling said parcel as it paid for same, pursuant to an Agreement
with Sewell; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City finds and declares that
processing and disposing of said irregularly shaped and sized lot would
be a futile act to any prospective purchasers other than the adjoining
landowner; that good cause exists for dispensing with the normal proce-
dures for the disposition of unimproved surplus land and is in the best
interests of the general health, safety, and welfare of the public;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AS FOLLOWS:
1. That the normal procedures for disposition of unimproved surplus
land shall be dispensed with in view of the facts and circumstances
herein.
2. That the triangular shaped parcel of approximately 1,297.61 square
feet is unimproved surplus land.
3. That the City Council hereby approves of the sale, pursuant to the
terms of that Agreement between the City and Sewell for a sum equal
to the sum paid for same by the City in its acquisition thereof.
4. That the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute said
Agreement and a Grant Deed to Sewell in conveying title to said
triangular shaped parcel.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 5th day of July, 1977.
