FR 0M: PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/WATER SERVICES DIVISION
SUBJECT- ACQUISITION OF REAL PROPERTY (ASSESSOR'S PARCEL NO.
401-582-02/PERFIT PROPERTY) File No. 2984
RECOMMENDATION:
After the receipt of testimony and the closure of the hearing and
if the City Council determines the Perfit Property is to be
acquired by eminent domain proceedings, adopt Resolution No. 91-90
(a minimum four-fifths (4/5) vote is required.)
BACKGROUND:
It is recommended that the City acquire a parcel of land on the
easterly side of Prospect Avenue between Main Street and Third
Street for the purposes of expanding the Tustin Water Services
Plant currently located at 235 East Main Street. The subject
parcel of land is identified as County Assessor's Parcel No. 401-
582-02 and is owned by June E. Perfit.
The Perfit parcel consists of 0.27 acres and is a rectangular
parcel with 95 feet of frontage along Prospect Avenue and 125 feet
of parcel depth.
An updated appraisal on the subject parcel has been completed on
April 5, 1991. A written offer, based on the appraisal, to
purchase the subject parcel, was mailed to Mrs. June E. Perfit on
May 7, 1991 and received June 5, 1991 with a requested response
date of May 20, 1991. The City Attorney's office did not receive
a response as to whether the offer to purchase was acceptable and
eminent domain proceedings have, therefore, been initiated. Notice
of the hearing was sent to Mrs. Perfit on May 21, 1991 and received
by her on June 5, 1991 (copy attached).
An eminent domain hearing has been scheduled for Monday, June 17,
1991 at 7:00 p.m. for the City Council to receive input either for
or against the City's acquisition of the Perfit property by eminent
domain proceedings.
The purpose of the hearing is restricted under eminent domain law
to receiving testimony regarding the following three issues only:
1. Whether the public interest and necessity require the
project;
2. The project is planned or located in the manner that will
be most compatible with the greatest public good and
least private injury;
3. The property sought to be acquired is necessary for the
project.
By law, the hearing is not to be conducted for the purpose of
discussing fair market value.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this acquisition of the Perf it parcel is to provide
adequate land area for the expansion of the existing Water Service
Plant located immediately adjacent to and southerly of the subject
parcel. This expansion of the Water Service Plant will include,
but not be limited to the enlargement of the Main Street reservoir
to a 2.2 million gallon facility, the,drilling of a new water well
facility and the expansion of the office, shop and parking
facilities for the site. The master site plan is currently under
preparation and it is scheduled to commence construction on the new
reservoir in Spring of 1992. A construction level environmental
document will be prepared/certified prior to any site construction.
An initial study for the acquisition of this property has been
completed and it has been determined that this acquisition project
qualifies as a Negative Declaration per the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and City EIR guidelines. A copy
of the Initial Study and Negative Declaration is attached for the
City Councils information. Section 7 of Resolution No. 91-90
approves the Negative Declaration for the acquisition of said
parcel and finds it to be in conformance with both CEQA and City
EIR guidelines.
After receiving testimony at the public hearing on this matter and
the City Council determines that the parcel of land is to be
acquired by eminent domain proceedings, the attached Resolution No.
91-90 will need to be passed and adopted by the City Council.

sustaining levels, threaten to eliminate
a plant or animal community, reduce the
number or restrict the range of a rare or
endangered plant or animal or eliminate
important examples of the major periods
of California history or prehistory? .X
b. Does the project have the potential to
achieve short-term, to the disadvantage of
long-term, environmental goals? (A short-
term impact on the environment is one
which occurs in a relatively brief, definitive
period of time while long-term impacts will
endure well into the- future) .
C. Does the project have impacts which are
individually limited, but cumulatively con-
siderable? (A'project may impact on two
or more separate resources where the impact
on each resource is relatively small, but
where the effect of the total of those
impacts on the environment is significant.)
d. Does the project have environmental effects
which will cause substantial adverse effects
on human beings, either directly or
indirectly? X
III. Discussion of Environmental Evaluation
IV. Determination
(To be completed by the Lead Agency)
On the basis of this initial evaluation:
I find that the proposed project COULD NOT have a
significant effect on the environment, and a
NEGATIVE DECLARATION will be prepared. X
I find that although the proposed project could have
a significant effect on the environment, there will
not be a significant effect in this case because the
mitigation measure described on an attached sheet have
been added to the project. A NEGATIVE DECLARATION WILL
BE PREPARED
I find the proposed project MAY have a significant effect
on the environment, and an ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT
is required.
