Dear Mr. Wynn:
ORA-1-18.6
Parcel 40468
RONALD REAGAN, Governor
Thank you for your letter of January 12, 1972 expressing your
desire to acquire the above referenced parcel for view park
purposeso It would appear that the California Highway Commis-
sion would not approve a lease under Section 104.15 of the
Streets and High~a ys Code for the City's use of said parcel
for park purposes due to the higher market value of the pro-
perty and because there are improvements located on the pro-
perty. Final approval would be made by the California Highway
Commission based on a formal application from the City sub-
mitting detailed plans for the proposed park.
To answer your specific questions:
(1)
(2)
(3)
We have not established a price for this parcel and said
price would be established after an appraisal of market
value is made.
Under the criteria used by the Commission in accordance
with Section 104.15 of the Streets and Highways Code, it
would appear this property would not qualify on a lease
basis at the term of $100 per year. ·
If your detailed proposal included the removal of existing
buildings and this proposal was accepted by the Commission
then the buildings could be removed.
While leasing said parcel under Section 104.15 of the Streets and
Highways Code does not appear to be feasible, we would be happy
to process your formal application. We also would cooperate
with your City for a direct sale based on the market value of the
property~ when and if this property is released for sale.
