HUSTON, CITY MANAGER F1,30T,1_ PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/ENGINEERING DIVISION LOWER PETERS CANYON RETARDING BASIN (P. W. FILE NO. 1132 ) RECOMMENDATION That the Tustin City Council approve the granting of an easement to the Orange County Flood Control District and authorize the Mayor to execute an easement deed for the Lower Peters Canyon pipeline facility on Lot 23, Tract No. 12870 and Lot 22, Tract No. 13627. BACKGROUND Lower Peters Canyon Retarding Basin was constructed by the City of Tustin with the use of Assessment District No. 86-2 funds as part of the flood control infrastructure improvements for the Tustin Ranch development. These improvements consisted of an earthen dam which provides a retarding basin approximately 16 acres in size and a controlled flow outlet pipe from the basin to the open channel (Peter's Canyon wash) at the northerly end of the Tustin Ranch Golf Course. The outlet pipe is located within a forty-six (46) foot wide easement which is located within several lots of Tract No. 13627 and 12870. Lot 23 of Tract of No. 12870 and Lot 22 of Tract No. 13627 are designated park sites within the Tustin Ranch development and both have been dedicated to the City for park purposes. DISCUSSION The retarding basin and outlet pipeline have been turned over to the Orange County Flood Control District (O.C.F.C.D.) for ownership and operation. As a part of the ownership and operation of the outline pipeline, O.C.F.C.D. has required that an easement for the pipeline be granted so that they will have access to the entire pipeline and the right to maintain and operate the facility. The required easement is partially located on Lot 23 of Tract 12870, which is delineated on Exhibit A-2 of the attached easement deed and on Lot 22 of Tract No. 13627 which is delineated on Exhibit B-2 of the attached easement deed. The City will have surface use of these easements for park purposes which will not impact the original intended use of each lot as a public park. Staff requests that the City Council approve the granting of an easement for the Orange County Flood Control District over portions of Lot 23, Tract No. 12870 and Lot 22, Tract No. 13627 for flood control purposes and authorize the Mayor to execute said easement deed pertaining to the Peters Canyon Retarding Basin (F06B01) for Parcels 201 and 202.
