ITE�f TITLE: Ordinance No. 1511 - Amending Sec. 28.410 of the City
Code Relating to Easements Shown on Parcel Maps to be Granted
at some Future Time - Second reading and adoption
INITIATED BY: City Attorney
BACKGROUND
This ordinance is proposed by the City Attorney ' s office to eliminate
a recurring problem which has occurred in the filing of parcel maps .
As our ordinances currently are written, there is no practical way
in which the City, through the Engineering Department, can insure
that the owner of a lot created. by a parcel map will have adequate
access to the property by road as. well as adequate access to necessary
utilities , such as sewer . This ordinance is designed to do two basic
things: (1) it is designed to place prospective purchasers of lots
created by a parcel map on notice that there is at the present time
no means provided for. either access by road or service by utilities,
and (2) the ordinance is additionally designed to provide a means
by which a purchaser of a lot can enforce as against the creator
of a legal parcel his right to either road useage or utility services .
The ordinance will , in effect, grant purchasers power under our
subdivision ordinance, and arguably under the general provisions of
the State Subdivision Map Act, a legally enforceable right to the
conveyance of an easement for the above-named purposes .
This ordinance was placed on first reading at the meeting of December 11, 1973.
