Item #9 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 6, 2003 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: ACCEPTANCE OF QUIT CLAIM DEED FROM RED'S DEVELOPMENT (TRACT 15480) TO THE CITY FOR LANDSCAPE OPEN SPACES. DATE: APRIL 21, 2003 BACKGROUND: On September 19, 1995 the City Council accepted and approved Red's Development, Tract Map 15480, which included offer of dedication of lettered Lots A, B, C, and D as "open space landscape areas". The Tract is located easterly of Mt. Vernon at Fairway Drive and Award drive. The intended purpose of the dedications of these Lettered Lots A, B, C, and D to the City was for purpose of conveyance of fee title to Colton's Lighting and Landscape Maintenance District (LLMD). During the normal course of map recordation, the Title of the Lettered Lots failed to be transferred into the City ownership. In August of 2002, Salman Rabie of Red's Development requested assistance from the Engineering Department in changing ownership of the Landscape Maintenance areas; Lettered lots A, B, C, and D from Reds Development Inc., to the City of Colton. In order to complete the transfer of Title, a Quitclaim Deed must be recorded with San Bernardino County Recorders Office; see attached Exhibit "A". ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: The City's intent is for the landscape maintenance areas to be part of the LLMD and has from the recording of the Tract Map been maintaining these areas. The proposed quitclaim deed will transfer the landscape areas from Reds Development to the City. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: There is no environmental impact with acceptance of Quitclaim Deed.
