 City of Hermosa Beach --- 11-25-97
SUBJECT: PARTIAL RIGHT-OF-WAY VACATION - PORTION OF WEST SIDE HERMOSA AVENUE - SOUTH CITY BOUNDARY LINE FOR 180 FEET NORTH
PURPOSE: TO REVIEW REQUEST BY A PRIVATE PARTY TO VACATE EXCESS RIGHT-OF-WAY TO PERMIT REMODEL CURRENTLY ENCROACHING INTO THE CITY'S RIGHT-OF-WAY
Recommendation Direct staff as deemed appropriate relative to processing the vacation request.
Background The property owner at 4 The Strand has requested that the City consider vacating excess right-of-way along Hermosa Avenue from the southerly City boundary 180 feet to the north, in order to accommodate a proposed remodeling project. The property owner is proposing a remodel which incorporates an existing garage overhanging the right-of-way by approximately 15 feet. Hermosa Avenue and the lots adjacent jog in a westerly direction in the area of the vacation request. The Hermosa Avenue right-of-way varies to 100 feet. (Please refer to Attachment No. 1.)
Analysis The area under consideration apparently does not serve a circulation purpose and the owner is requesting the vacation as an uncomplicated method to accommodate their project . Alternately, the owner could be required to demolish the garage and construct a new garage on their existing property in order to carry out the remodel project. As there is no available area on the site for the garage, the owner would have to substantially reconfigure their property to accommodate their required parking at substantial expense. Staff suggests that if the Council would like to proceed with the vacation that the property owner furnish a survey to the City for their property and other impacted properties.
