RESOLUTION NO. 55-2006
SUMMARILY VACATING A PORTION OF PUBLIC STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY AT
THE END OF CULET RANCH ROAD
WHEREAS, Culet Ranch Road is a public street within the Town of Danville formerly
known as Casolyn Ranch Road, as originally dedicated to the County of Contra Costa on
September 15, 1977 in book 8505, page 388, of official records, as a right-of-way easement;
and
WHEREAS, Shwu Rong Lee owns fee title to the property located at 1240 Culet Ranch
Road; and
WHEREAS, the owner received approval from the Town Council on November 4, 2003,
to subdivide the property into five- single family residential lots as SD 8652; and
WHEREAS, the approved tentative map anticipated a future abandonment of right-of-way
for a portion of the cul-de-sac bulb at the end of Culet Ranch Road that encumbers Lot 5;
and
WHEREAS, said portion of cul-de-sac bulb to be abandoned is not needed because a cul-
de-sac was built with a different alignment; and
WHEREAS, Part 3, Chapter 4 of the California Street and Highways Code (Section 8330 et
seq.) provides for the summary vacation of street easements under specified circumstances;
and
WHEREAS, the Town desires to use this statutory authority to abandon a portion of Culet
Ranch Road; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, by the Danville Town Council, that
1. The Town of Danville hereby summarily vacates that portion of street
easement of Culet Ranch Road fronting 1240 Culet Ranch Road as shown on
the attached Quitclaim Deed (Exhibit 1), which is incorporated herein by this
reference.
2. This summary vacation is made pursuant to the authority of Part 3, Chapter
4 of the California Streets and Highways Code, specifically Section 8330 (et
seq.). This portion of street easement is excess and is not required for street
purposes because for a period of five consecutive years the street has been
impassable for vehicular travel and no public money was expended for
maintenance, and no in-place public utility facilities exist that are in use that
would be affected by the vacation.
3. The City Clerk is directed to record a certified copy of this resolution
together with the Quitclaim Deed with the Contra Costa County Recorder's
Office.
4. This vacation shall become effective upon recordation of the Quitclaim Deed.
APPROVED by the Danville Town Council at a regular meeting on June 7, 2006, by the
following vote:
AYES: Stepper, Shimansky, Andersen, Arnerich, Doyle
NOES: None
ABSTAINED: None
ABSENT: None
