CITY COUNCIL AGENDA
ITEM NO F-13
SUBJECT: ACQUISITION OF THE SOUTHWESTERLY 7.15 FEET OF 205 39TH STREET
(The southwesterly 7.15 feet of the northeasterly one-half of
Lot 13, Block 139, Canal Section, Newport Beach)
RECOMMENDATION:
If desired, authorize staff to retain an appraiser to determine
the fair market value of the southwesterly 7.15 feet of 205
39th Street.
DISCUSSION:
Attached is a letter from Kirk. S. Lamb requesting that the City pur-
chase a portion of his property at 205 39th Street. Mr. Lamb first contacted
the City in 1970 concerning the planned widening of Balboa Boulevard and how
it affected his property. However, this is Mr. Lamb's first letter requesting
the City to purchase a portion of his property.
In September of 1970, the City purchased the lot between Mr. Lamb's
property and Balboa Boulevard. This lot was 17.85 feet wide. The proposed
widening of Balboa Boulevard would add 25 feet to the right-of-way width. To
maintain this width requires that 7.15 feet of Mr. Lamb's property be acquired.
The City presently owns a 25-foot-wide lot across 39th Street from Mr. Lamb's
property, and a 32.14-foot-wide lot behind his property. See the attached
Exhibit "A" showing City -owned property along Balboa Boulevard.
Mr. Lamb has submitted a set of plans to construct a new duplex on
his property and requested that an "Approval in Concept" be granted so that he
can apply for a Coastal Zone permit. Exhibit B shows his proposed site plan.
The plan shows a portion of the building in the proposed right-of-way area for
Balboa Boulevard. The building shown will fit within the lot remaining if the
.building•is shifted 6.15 feet northeasterly. However, this would eliminate one
of his required parking spaces. Some plan modifications would be necessary to
provide an added space in tandem in the garage.
Mr. Lamb has offered to sell the City 719.93 square feet of property
for $60,445.32 based on the $335,000 he has been offered for his whole parcel.
It is recommended that the City retain an appraiser to determine if this is
the fair market value for the property.
In the meantime, if Mr. Lamb wishes to obtain an approval in concept,
he can shift the building 6.15 northeasterly and provide one added space in
the garage.

If an appraisal of the property is authorized, the appraisal fee of
$1,500 to $2,000 would be funded from the budgeted Gas Tax Project for pre-
paring EIR's and preliminary plans for future street widening projects.
The area to be acquired currently has a portion of a one -bedroom
house on it. If it is occupied by a tenant at the time the City acquires the
property, the tenant may be eligible for relocation assistance.

Re: 205 and 2051 39th Street. Lot 12 and of Lot 13
Dear City Council:
I am 'the owner of this 1 and 2 R2 lot and have sold it to a builder.
(escrow copy enclosed.) When I wanted to build in (1970), I was told
that the city intended to widen Balboa Blvd. and would take about 7 feet
or 719.93 sq. ft. (a little over 4 of the entire lot). I have been
waiting since 1970 for the city to purchase this (see copies of 1970 letters).
If the city still wants this land, the cost should be $60,445.32, calculated
thusly:
Lot 'sale at .$335,000: tot size: 95x42 =3,990 sq.ft.=$83.96 per sq.ft.
The sq. ft. desired by the city is 719.93 (per letter of 4/27/70)
This is a very fair price for the land only. Even though this 7 ft. plus
acquisition will result in the demolition of a 1 bedroom house, the builder
intends to tear everything down anyway. So the city only need pay for the
land cost and not the loss of a house and/or income from the house.
I hope m;y buyer will accept the reduction in lot size (with a reduction in
price, o` course). I cannot guarantee this however, as he will have to
draw a r.-,1 set of plans.
Thank for your time and please keep me informed as to your course
of actor.
Respectf lly,-submz.tted,
irk S. Lamb
