Com 5/25/77'VI. Conveyance of property at Almaden and Broadway--Memos and map dis- Approve tributed to Council. Manager indicated this conveyance of property would be to Mr. R. J. Houben upon negotiated payment. The negotia- tions have been going on for several years. Mr. Haws moved seconded by Mr. Hamel to authorize conveyance of the property upon negotiated payment. ~ Mr. Lieuallen asked for clarification of this 1ssue. Don Allen, ,., Director of Public Works, explained the property on West Broadway was one parcel of land acquired in 1947 for future street right-of- way. He said subsequent land areas were acquired by the street right of -way and construction of the street occurred in 1966. The properties adjacent to the street were initially encumbered with a deferred paving assessment until such time as they took access onto the street which was created. Initially Mr. Houben owned only the most easterly parcel in the area and several years ago acquired the adjoining parcel on the west. The surplus land and access rights to West Broadway have been under negotiation since 1966. The settlement in this issue would be the cost of paving assess- ments only. Mr. Houben did not have access to the street, but 1n return for settling for paving assessment costs only, the City would be recouping their costs. Vote was taken on the motion which carried unanimously. Com 5/25/77 VI. Energy conservation report--Memo distributed to Council.
