Staff recommends that the City Council use its powers of eminent domain to
condemn approximately 19.79 acres of property belonging to United Enterprises
for street, drainage, sewer and utility improvements along Telegraph Canyon
Road.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the resolution.
DISCUSSION:
.The Public Facilities Financing Plan and the EastLake Specific Plan previously
adopted by the City Council require that Telegraph Canyon Road be widened and
realigned and that drainage and sewer facilities be installed.
There is a need to widen Telegraph Canyon Road to serve current and projected
traffic volumes and to provide sewer for proposed development in the eastern
area. The sewer will be placed within the street right of way.
It is necessary to realign Telegraph Canyon Road to meet design standards for
a primary arterial highway. These standards are based on safety concerns. It
is necessary to take the land for drainage right of way in order to widen the
drainage channel to handle projected flows in a one hundred year storm. In
addition, it is necessary to relocate the channel in those areas where the
road widening is encroaching into the natural channel.
The location of the right of way is dictated by the fact that Telegraph Canyon
Road is an existing road, and the natural drainage patterns.
The proposed taking constitutes 29.79 acres out of an approximate total
acreage of 23,500 acres owned by United Enterprises. Balancing the need for
the improvements for health and safety purposes versus the effect on United
Enterprises, it is reasonable to approve the eminent domain action.
