of-way. Based on the results of the consultant's field survey (Attachment #12), the location of the survey monument is correct, and the locations of the Cameron Avenue street right-of-way is accurately shown on the PUD development plan. Mr. Woodall retains title to the portion of Cameron Avenue and Courtney Avenue by his property. Staff located a grant deed (Attachment #8) in which the former owners of the Woodall property dedicated the portions of their property within the street rights-of-way for Cameron Avenue and Courtney Avenue to the City, changing them from private streets to public streets. Although the document that included Mr. Woodall's property (Lot 13) and the neighbor's property on the south side of the Woodall property (Lot 9, 1781 Courtney Drive) was signed and notarized, it was not recorded with the Alameda County Recorder. This issue does not affect the development of the Lehman-Selway property. Staff considers it to be an anomaly that can be corrected by recording a new deed transferring title from these properties to the City of Pleasanton. For background, Cameron Avenue, Courtney Avenue, Nicole Avenue, Equestrian Drive, and Diablo Court of the BAS Homes Development Unit One were originally approved on Final Subdivision Map 5445, recorded in September 1986, as private street reservations. Final Map 5445 indicates that these private street reservations are to meander along the edges of the property lots created by the Final Map, and that these private street reservations are to be used "for assignment of access rights to others in the future." Notes on the Final Map say that the private street areas will "be dedicated by separate instrument." On May 5, 1987, prior to the separate access easements being dedicated for the private streets, or the streets being constructed, the City Council introduced Ordinance No. 1311 (Attachment #7) for PUD-83-10-03M, PUD-83-12-02M, and PUD-86-15-01M. Through this City Council action, it was determined that these streets would not be private, but would be accepted as Public Street Rights of Way. This action was deemed necessary to provide proper emergency response access as required by the General Plan. BAS Homes was directed to prepare and provide to the City the deeds transferring title of the street area from the lot owners to the City. On October 4, 1988, the City Council approved Resolution No. 88-460 (Attachment #7) that accepted all necessary deeds for the public streets and instructed the City officers to take appropriate action. All accepted deeds were recorded in 1988, with the exception of the document that contained the transfer of land on the Woodall property (Lot 13) and Lot 9. Not recording this one document appears to be clerical oversight, as later in 1988 improvement plans for the streets were reviewed and approved for construction. After the construction was completed, the City accepted the improvements, including the portions of Cameron Avenue and Courtney Drive by the Woodall property, as public streets. Further, the City has been operating and maintaining these streets as public streets for the past 20 years. Page 12 of 16
