DATE January 19, 1993
SUMMARY When Tract No. 44564 was recorded, five lots were offered to the City of
West Covina for open space purposes. The conditions of approval
designated these lots as private open space and no funding mechanisms
were provided for public maintenance. The* offer to dedicate was not
acknowledged on the fmal map. There is no public benefit in accepting
these lots. In order to remove the offer to dedicate from the .final map, a
summary vacation must be approved by the City Council.
BACKGROUND
When GLENFED was designing its development located easterly of Citrus and northerly of
Hillside Drive, they incorporated open space lots. The City conditioned these open space
lots as private. When the map was recorded, these open space lots were irrevocably offered
for dedication to the City. The City did not acknowledge this offer on the final map. The
offer is still open and final action should be taken to terminate the offer of dedication.
ANALYSIS
In order to terminate the irrevocable offer of dedication. for the open space lots, the City,
must vacate the offer. The vacation procedure is called a summary vacation. This
procedure does not require a hearing and is accomplished with one resolution. The City
Attorney has approved as to form a resolution approving the summary vacation of the
irrevocable offer of dedication.
FISCAL IMPACT
None
ALTERNATIVES
Accept the offers to dedicate and create a new maintenance district for this tract or include it
into Maintenance District 6 or 7. These alternatives would increase maintenance costs for
these districts and require public hearings in order to annex the additional open space and
levy assessments. The improvements installed do not conform to City specifications for
public open space areas and additional cost would be incurred for any needed remedial work,
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that, City Council approve the following Resolution:
