Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - June 1, 1992 Page - 17 - PUBLIC HEARINGS (continued) B. Matter of Condemnation of Property Located at 1188 Montague Avenue (Wells Fargo Bank) for Measure B - Teagarden Street Extension Project. This being the time and place for the Public Hearing on the above matter, Bill Silva, City Engineer, said the subject condemnation related to construction of the Teagarden Extension connecting Monterey with Aladdin. He said this was a Measure B Project. He said prior to construction the City must acquire 2,344 square feet along the new Teagarden Extension frontage of the property owned by Wells Fargo Bank. He said the issue tonight was to request City Council approval to allow the City Attorney to take appropriate action to acquire the property prior to construction through Eminent Domain. He said the City had a letter from Wells Fargo Bank, requesting that they be permitted to speak. He noted the County Right-of-Way Agent John Fenstermacher was in the audience and available to answer any questions. John Feinstermacher said part of the subject acquisition affects the California Service Tools building. He said he felt a solution had been reached with the tenants with which the tenants are pleased. He said previously the City was talking about actually taking the building, but now they have decided they could notch the road and take only a small portion of the building and keep the business in operation. The Hearing was then opened to the public. Joe Schrader, Wells Fargo Bank, said the property is owned by the Eva Trust, for which the Bank is the Trustee. He said they are in basic agreement with the project. He said they had a couple of clarification points, and they were requesting indemnification for the work that was to be done. He said there are two loading docks for the California Service Tool operation, and there are proposals which have been drafted to relocate the docks. He said the Bank has asked that, in the final agreement, the Bank receive indemnification. Mike Riback, Chief Assistant City Attorney, recommended the City Council move forward with the Resolution of Necessity and direct the City Council to communicate with legal counsel for the Eva Trust to resolve the issues set forth in their letter. He said this is the first time he has seen the letter and he was not prepared to comment.
