Once again, the incompetent and corrupt director and deputy director of public works are recommending giving away a significant chunk of public property to legalize an illegal land grab. See Next Land Grab Set for March 7, February 23, 2023. Click here for the 8 Western Drive letter.
The staff report reads:
The owners of 8 Western Drive purchased the home whose front fence encroached in the public ROW subject to an improperly issued encroachment agreement which was revoked. Owners were required to remove the encroachment or apply for an Encroachment Agreement to ensure compliance with City’s new ordinance.
Recommended Action: ADOPT a resolution to approve an Encroachment Agreement Application for private landowner fence encroachment into the unimproved public right-of-way at 8 Western Drive; and DIRECT City staff to enter into an Encroachment Agreement regarding same to be recorded on the landowner’s property title – Public Works Department (Daniel Chavarria/Robert Armijo 510-620-5477).
Please share this with as many potentially interested people as you can.
