On August 10,.1976 the City Council, by resolution 8279, accepted a grant
deed from Saratoga Development Corporation executed on June 22, 1976 for
right of way along Telegraph Canyon Road. The City paid Saratoga Develop-
ment Corporation the sum of $568 for the right of way. The deed executed
by Saratoga Development Corporation was filed in the office of the County
Recorder on August 17, 1976 as document number 76-266162. This right of
way is required to accommodate the proposed widening of Telegraph Canyon
Road between Halecrest Drive and Oleander Avenue.
The City of Chula Vista on July 8, 1976 obtained a litigation guarantee,
Guarantee number 303586-R, for a liability in the sum of $1,000 from Land
Title Insurance Company. The litigation guarantee showed that as of July 8,
1976 the right of way purchased by the City was vested in Saratoga Develop-
ment Corporation. The litigation guarantee, however, had 13 exceptions
listed. At the time the litigation guarantee was issued, Saratoga Develop-
ment Corporation was subject to the effect of the filing of a petition on
May 20, 1975 under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Act in the District Court,
Southern District, California, case number 75-1446. Others having interest

Since the acceptance of the right of way by the City Council from Saratoga
Development Corporation, the property has been sold to a new owner, JLEN
Incorporated. It has been determined by JLEN Incorporated that the con-
veyance of the right of way by Saratoga Development Corporation was invalid.
JLEN Incorporated wishes to clear the title to the property. JLEN Incor-
porated, therefore, has executed a Corporation Grant Deed re-conveying
to the City the right of way that was conveyed by Saratoga Development
Corporation. JLEN Incorporated is granting this right of way as a gift
and is not requesting any additional compensation.
It is appropriate, at this time, for the City Council to accept the Grant
Deed executed by JLEN Incorporated on January 14, 1977.
A transparency is available for Council viewing.
