TO: Mayor and Town Council February 18, 2020
SUBJECT: Resolution No. 11-2020, approving a Quitclaim Deed for an existing
scenic easement and accepting a Grant of Easement for a new scenic
easement located at 6 Roberts Court (APN 201-120-019)
BACKGROUND
Prior to incorporation of the Town, Contra Costa County approved a minor subdivision
(MS-251-78) which included a scenic easement across a portion of the parcel which is
now 6 Roberts Court. The Town and the property owners have recently determined
that a portion of a patio was constructed within the scenic easement. In order to correct
this situation, it is proposed that the Town quitclaim to the property owners the existing
scenic easement over the 1,486 square feet encompassing the patio. In exchange, the
owners would grant a new scenic easement over 3,051 square feet of their property not
currently included in the original scenic easement.
DISCUSSION
The Quitclaim Deed (Attachment B) and Grant of Easement (Attachment C) were
prepared by the owners’ engineer and reviewed by the Town’s engineering staff. If
approved by the Town Council, both deeds will be recorded.
