VACATION PROCEEDINGS / THRUSH WAY / MAGNETIC TERRACE

Motion - On March 5, 2002, under Council File No. 01-1459, the City Council adopted new procedures for processing street vacations, which require the adoption of a Rule 16 motion to initiate street vacation proceedings. Under these new procedures, when a petitioner submits an application and a fee deposit to the Bureau of Engineering, the Chair of the Public Works Committee is required to introduce a motion for the purposes of assigning a Council File Number and initiating the investigation of the vacation. Pam Ball of GLM Associates, on behalf of William E. Boehringer 11, owner of the property legally described as Lot 7 of Tract 9970; has submitted an application requesting to vacate the westerly half of the northerly side of Thrush Way approximately 175 feet northeasterly of Magnetic Terrace, located in Council District Five (5). The petitioner has also submitted a fee deposit to cover the cost of processing the vacation proceedings. Additionally, the adoption of the following recommendations does not constitute or imply approval of the vacation. THEREFORE MOVE that upon adoption of this motion, street vacation proceedings be initiated pursuant to California Streets and Highways Code, Division 9, Part 3, Public Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation Law. FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Engineering be directed to investigate the feasibility of this vacation request. FURTHER MOVE that the Bureau of Engineering present its report regarding the feasibility of vacating the requested area to the Public Works Committee.
