City Council Agenda Item Report
BACKGROUND:
This portion of Wrightcrest Drive is 20 feet in width and was dedicated as a street
easement on Tract Map No. 24413, as recorded on August 30, 1960. The street
extends approximately 100 feet southerly from the intersection of Wrightcrest Drive
and Wright Terrace and dead ends at property currently owned by the Los Angeles
County Parks Department. Since the adjoining property will be developed as a Los
County park, it is highly unlikely that this portion of Wrightcrest Drive will be
extended in the future. Properties that abut this portion of Wrightcrest on its easterly
side are the rear of two lots having addresses at 6020 and 6030 Wright Terrace.
The property that abuts this street on its westerly side is owned by the California
State Parks Department. There are no properties that need access from this portion
of Wrightcrest Drive. Public utilities within this street are attached to a Southern
California Edison pole that has power lines extending southerly beyond the end of
the street onto the adjoining Los Angeles County Parks Department’s property. This
power pole also has A T & T and Time Warner lines attached.
On October 13, 2008, Council adopted Resolution No. 2008-R071 (attached)
declaring its intention to order the vacation of this portion of Wrightcrest Drive and
setting a public hearing for this evening to consider such vacation.
DISCUSSION:
A petition to vacate this portion of Wrightcrest Drive was submitted by the property
owners of 6020 and 6030 Wright Terrace. The major complaint concerning this
street is that it has become an attractive nuisance for late night parking and other
activities. The property owners were required to obtain a street search for this
portion of Wrightcrest Drive and Fidelity National Title Company has determined that
these property owners own the underlying fee to this portion of Wrightcrest Drive.
Since this street will not be extended in the future; and it is not needed for driveway
access to any adjoining lot, it has therefore been concluded by the City Engineer
that this portion of Wrightcrest Drive is no longer needed for the public use. Refer to
Exhibits “A” and “B” of the Resolution of Vacation for an accurate legal description
and plat of the portion of Wrightcrest Drive to be vacated.
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The vacation of this portion of Wrightcrest Drive will cause a small reduction in the
City’s cost for street maintenance and eliminate the City’s liability associated with
issues relating to this portion of the street. Additionally, the vacation will revert this City of Culver City, California
City Council Agenda Item Report
portion of Wrightcrest Drive to private property which will slightly increase the
property taxes to the adjoining lots.
ATTACHMENTS:
1. Resolution No. 2008-R071
2. Proposed Resolution of vacation, including Exhibits “A” and “B”
MOTION:
That the City Council:
Adopt a Resolution vacating a portion of Wrightcrest Drive between the
intersection of Wright Terrace and Wrightcrest Drive and its southerly terminus,
which adjoins the rear of those lots located at 6020 and 6030 Wright Terrace, as
shown on attached Exhibits “A” and “B” and reserving a public utility easement
over the vacated portion of Wrightcrest Drive.
