WHEREAS, the City Council ("City Council") of the City of Newport Beach ("City"),
pursuant to Chapter 4 of the Public Streets, Highways and Service Easements Vacation
Law, Section 8330 et seq. of the California Streets and Highways Code, is authorized to
summarily vacate a public service easement when the easement has not been used for
the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired for five (5) consecutive years
immediately preceding the proposed vacation; the date of dedication or acquisition is less
than five (5) years, and more than one (1) year, immediately preceding the proposed
vacation and the easement was not used continuously since that date, or the easement
has been superseded by relocation, or determined to be excess by the easement holder,
and there are no other public facilities located within the easement;
WHEREAS, the property owner of 4839 Cortland Drive, Newport Beach,
California 92625 ("Property") has requested the City vacate a six-foot (6) wide public
water easement ("Easement"), which is legally described in Exhibit "A" and shown in
Exhibit "B" attached hereto and incorporated herein;
WHEREAS, the segment of the water main pipe in the Easement was abandoned
in place as part of the City's Cameo Highlands Backup Water Supply Improvements
Project, there are no active City facilities in the Easement, and thus the Easement is
unnecessary for future water purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, having reviewed and considered the various
elements of the General Plan of the City of Newport Beach with respect to the proposed
summary vacation of the Easement, has determined that the summary vacation is
consistent with the General Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Newport Beach resolves as
follows:
Section 1: The City Council does hereby summarily vacate the Easement
described in Exhibit "A" and shown in Exhibit "B" on the grounds that the Easement is
excess and there are no other public facilities therein.

subsection, sentence, clause or phrase hereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or
more sections, subsections, sentences, clauses or phrases be declared invalid or
