GENERAL MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION
recommendation
RECOMMENDATION: Recommend to the Board of Directors to:
Approve the Amendment to Easement between Orange County Sanitation District and Big Canyon Country Club to adjust the Sanitation District’s easement to correspond with the new sewer location within the Big Canyon Country Club in the City of Newport Beach.
body
BACKGROUND
Orange County Sanitation District (Sanitation District) owns, operates, and maintains a trunk sewer that is rooted, in part, through the Big Canyon Country Club. Big Canyon Country Club planned to expand its maintenance facility and construct a larger maintenance building. The expansion placed the new building directly over the Sanitation District’s trunk sewer and easement, rendering the facilities inaccessible. Through a sewer relocation agreement, Big Canyon Country Club designed and constructed a new sewer to Sanitation District’s standards, relocating the sewer away from the new maintenance building. Big Canyon Country Club abandoned the existing sewer and granted a new sewer easement to correspond with the new sewer location, at no cost to the Sanitation District.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Maintain collaborative and cooperative relationships with regulators, stakeholders, and neighboring communities
• Protect Orange County Sanitation District assets
• Operate and maintain facilities to minimize impacts on surrounding communities, including odor, noise, and lighting
PROBLEM
The Sanitation District requires property rights in the form of an easement in order to access, operate, and maintain its newly relocated facilities.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
Approve the Amendment to Easement which provides property rights that correspond to the new sewer location.
TIMING CONCERNS
The relocation of the sewer has been completed and the Sanitation District plans to initiate its preventative maintenance program on the newly relocated sewer.
RAMIFICATIONS OF NOT TAKING ACTION
Without the Amendment to Easement, the Sanitation District would not have adequate property rights to access, operate, and maintain its facilities in this location.
PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
April 2017 - Approved Sewer Relocation Agreement with Big Canyon Country Club.
