RESOLUTION - Abandonment of Alley �
City Attorney Murphy submitted memo dated December 18, 1964 re abandon-
ment of alley between Pine and East Streets:
"On September 21, 1964, Council by a 4-1 vote adopted a motion instruct-
ing the City Attorney to prepare the necessary documents for the abandon-
ment of the Westerly_half of the .alley.between East and Pine� St-reets in
the City,of Redding-,, and that;a;hold,harmless. agreement be secured from
the Westerly property owners.
This motion followed the recommendations of _the. Planni�ng Commission
and staff that the Westerly half of .the alley be: abandoned.�and that�a -ten
foot easement for- underground :utili.ties and storm drainage be retained.
As I understood the reason •for.�the addition- of the •requirement-that a
hold harmless clause ,be obtained, it�was because of the fact that as to
the five feet of the Westerly half of the alley on which we would not be
reserving an underg�round utility easement, there could be bui�ldings
constructed, and-the,Council :wer,e concerned over the poss,ible liability
if such structures were dar,�taged as a result. of the cave-in of the bank.
Since that time staff,has delayed presenting a Resolution of.Abandonment
for your consideration in ordex to .obtain a topographical.survey to as-
certain the true location of the almost vertical bank in relation to the
centerline of the alley. and also, if possible, to determine the proper
location of the ten foot utility easement. The Pu.blic Works De,partment
has completed such survey, and we have ascertained that the vertical
- bank almost precisely follows the centerline of the a11ey. Staff were
unable to locate the exact course of the private sewer line known to�exist
somewhere in the alley., For this reason, we have consulted with Mr.
Hull, who initiated the .o'r.iginal abandonment application, and have ob-
tained his approval to :reserving an underground utility easement over the
entire portion of the alley being.abandone,d;;.and December 21 Agenda
Item No. 9-6, as presented,• includes a reservation of such a fifteen foot
utility.easement. : ,.. , . . .
..If Council, is_ agreeable. to this: amendment,; it.is my recommendation that
Council not require the obtainment of hold harmless agreements before
recordation of .the abandonment resolution as, in my legal opinion, they
are no longer necessary to protect against any p.otemtial liability which
could accrue to the .City. I suggest this for�.the reason that since we are
reserving an underground easement over the entire area being abandoned,
it would be necessary for any property owner to whom this land reverted
to obtain the permission of the City before constructing a structure upon
the reverted land. The only construction to which this would not apply
would be paving for a parking area or a fence.
297
Under the Uniform Building Code permits are required for the erection
or construction of any building or structure and the definition of "structure"
therein.is broad enough to include any wall. Consequently, it appears to me
that each building�or structure which any owner attempts to build on the
reverted land should be reviewed at the time of application for the building
,permit, both in relation to the City's easement reserved in the abandonment,
'° and as to the need for`hold liarmless` agreements �at such t'ime. � In regard
to a blanket requirement for� hold`harmless agreements in relation to
- potenti,al caye-ins, .I:am concerned with the inference inherent in such an
, agreement fhat the��City would.�issue a p.ermit.for. the construction of a
'structure,�in a loca�tion wherein�such was a possibility. " '
Mr. Murpliy furtfier explairied the easement would show up� in any title report
and the building department will be alerted to the problem in the area.
Mrs. Helen Generes predicted the easement `xriight be abandoned 'rn `the future
as' Pirie St. will be torn up next year and the� sewer line might be relocated in
Pine St: . . , , . :�. .�� . . . ,
� Mr: lvlurphy explained that abandonrrient of the alley without con-sideration creates
no warranty as to the soundness'for'constructiori ori tfie land being 'abandoned;
that the owner is put on notice of the potential hazard by the existence of the bank
and the potential possibility of slippage if too great a weight is built above.
Councilmari Chatfield said that�in areas of considerable excavation, City should
require engineering plans �for la�teral suppor't ancfi "retairiing walls. He observed
that builders do not look far beyond their own property in checking lateral
supports. He was advised by City Attorney that he is working with the Director
' of Public Works in preparation of a proposed..Excavation.Ordinance.
1VIrs. Generes� inquired about`tlze storrri drain pipe which flows into the alley and
is cutting a hole in the bank causing water to run on her buildings. She said the
wate r should be ,curbed so'it�won't cut out'the bank. � � �
Mr. Arness reported Mr. Hull has'agreed to'remove the drain pipe in question.
Mr. Murphy explained the drain was constructed by private property owner on the
westerly Sside of tlie ��15' alley; that-the'discharge point is 8' to 10' above the
ground level of the'easterly 15! of the alley; that water drains from the bank
onto City prope rty and then sheet flows onto, private land:
1VIr. A.rness stated that in his opiriion, tYie sto'rm_water�s from the� area westerly
of the alley, historically have flowed eastward'onto the property owned by Mrs.
Generes�and before construction of the parking lot and drain pipe in question.
Councilman Denny said the matters urider discussion do not affect the liability of
the City re the abandonment of the. 15' alley.
MOTION: Made by Couricilman Hummel, seconded by Councilman Fulton that
Resolution No. 3375 be adopted, a resolution of.the City, Council of the City of
Redding orde ring the vacation and' abandonment of tFie alley located between
Pine Street,and �:ast Stree�t about 1'50 feet soutliwe�sterly of Locust Street in

result of any repairs made at the lessee's expense.� � �

RAILROAD CROSSING GATES _
City Manager Cowden urged Council to give„eonsideration to the installation
of aut;omatic gates at all five Southern Pacific crossings in conjunction
with their study of the Capital Improvement Program.
303
Council concurred the study of the Capital Improvement Program will take
much time; that it would be difficult to consider without accounting for the ,
proposed underpass.
1Vlayor .Moty stated;�: !'A`s'surriing�tliat if�-Council'we-re -favorable to �lie` overpass -
� construction;':�more study vvould'b'e-ne.cessary.to:d'eterm'-ine the- lbcatiori��arid,� � -
;aff.eet:on;,the.dowritown; a;rea and,it�;woul'd take time for bond election, etc, In -
the meantime the estimated cost of installing gates at the five crossings is
$28, 000. ; City's share $5, 500. If overpass is constructed, only one gate
erossing will be affected. We should proceed with the gates, he concluded.
City Manager Cowden pointed out that the P. U. C, did not list Reddin� on
the priority for grade crossings for 1965.
Councilman,Fulton stated that in view of the rash of accidents, the safety
factor should be the consideration.
MOTION: Made by Councilman Fulton, seconded by Councilman Denny
directing the City Manager to negotiate with the Southern Pacific Company
for gates at the five crossings. The Vote: Unanimous Ayes.
Councilman Chatfield requested the City Manager to discuss�problems re
switching activities with the local office of the Southern Pacific Company.
