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
SOUTH OF BAKER STREET AT BEAR STREET, 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 Bear Street from Baker Street to St. Clair
Street in the City; and
WHEREAS, in performing said extension of said right-of-way the
City has had to acquire a parcel from the Newport -Mesa School District
of approximately 35,863.71 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 approxi-
mately 7,338.33 square feet adjacent to said right-of-way; and
WHEREAS, the abutting property owners, Glen and Florence Wolmutt
(hereinafter referred to as "WOLMUTT") are in the process of and intend
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
independent development; and
WHEREAS, as part of the acquisition of 16,049.04 square feet of
right-of-way from Wolmutt, Wolmutt has asked that the City exchange the
triangular parcel for the right-of-way to be acquired for the Bear
Street extension; and
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa 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 procedures 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 7,338.33
square feet is unimproved surplus land.
3. That the City Council hereby approves of the exchange of
surplus land for right--of-way.
4. That the Mayor and City Clerk are hereby authorized to execute
said Grant Deed to Wolmutt in conveying title to said tri-
angular shaped parcel.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 15th day of August, 1977.
