MEMORANDUM
TO: Lake County Sanitation District, Board of Directors
FROM: Scott Harter, Special Districts Deputy Administrator
Jan Coppinger, Special Districts Administrator
DATE: February 27, 2018
SUBJECT: Approve Right of Way Contract and Grant Deed for Caltrans' acquisition of a portion of the Middletown Wastewater Treatment Plant along State Highway 175 and authorize the Chair to sign the right of way contract and the grant deed as well as provide direction to the Clerk to notarize and record the grant deed.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Caltrans is proposing a highway widening project on State Highway 175 near Middletown. The project requires the acquisition of approximately 1.56 acres of the Middletown Wastewater Treatment Plant property. The acquisition runs the length of the property and averages 20 feet in width.
Caltrans used sales of comparable properties within the previous year to establish a value of the acquisition based on the highest and best use of the land. The valuation resulted in an offer of $20,900 for the property; specifically property value of $19,000 and a $1,900 (10%) bonus if the contract is approved by March 12, 2018. As part of the project Caltrans will reconstruct the two driveway encroachments to the treatment plant property and install approximately 3,800 feet of field fence along the new property line.
The proposed acquisition will not impact current or future operations of the wastewater treatment plant and does not conflict with the alignment of the Geysers Effluent Pipeline, the spray field irrigation lines, or the future force main from Anderson Springs Sewer Project.
