THE CITY OF 15 Pft^, ° CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT pLEASANTON® July 17, 2012 Community Development TITLE: APPROVAL OF JOINT USE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND PG&E FOR THE RELOCATION OF ELECTRICAL TRANSMISSION FACILITIES WITHIN THE VINEYARD AVENUE RIGHT OF WAY SUMMARY Greenbriar Homes seeks to relocate above-ground electrical transmission lines that currently are located diagonally across its property at 798 Vineyard Terrace to Vineyard Avenue. The Council has previously approved Tract 7240 and PUD-00-01 for this site. Relocation, at Greenbriar's expense, will allow for improved residential development of the vineyard estate lot. PG&E has agreed to perform the relocation upon the City approving and executing the Joint Use Agreement between the parties, which includes the City granting PG&E an easement within this portion of Vineyard Avenue. Greenbriar has agreed to pay directly to PG&E the costs of relocation, as well as an additional $30,000 to the City for Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan fees for landscaping on the north side of Vineyard Avenue. RECOMMENDATION Approve and authorize the City Manager to execute on behalf of the City a Joint Use Agreement between the City and PG&E for the relocation of electrical transmission facilities from 798 Vineyard Terrace to a new easement within the Vineyard Avenue right of way. FINANCIAL STATEMENT There is no anticipated current financial impact. Greenbriar Homes has agreed to pay directly to PG&E the cost of the relocation, as well as $30,000 to the City as additional Vineyard Avenue Corridor Specific Plan fees for landscaping on the north side of Vineyard Avenue. The only potential financial impact is that if the City decides to modify the alignment of Vineyard Corridor in the future, then the City would have to pay for any relocation of the transmission lines in the area covered by this Joint Use Agreement and easement proposed to be granted to PG&E.
