PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
TO: City Council
FROM : City Manager
NEEI NG DATE: February 7, 1990
AGENDA TITLE: Sale of House to be Moved. Off Property at 12001 North Thornton
Road
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council authorize the advertising for
sale of the house to be moved off property at 12001 North Thornton Road.
BACKGROUND P4UMATION The 270 acres that were purchased for the
expansion at VVffite Slough contained two dwelling units. One was an old
uninhabitable house which has been demolished. The second is a ranch -style
stucco home containing approximately 2,550 square feet.
The home was to be rented until after completion of the expansion project.
We were then going to consider its removal. However, before it can be
rented, windows in four of the bedrooms would have to be enlarged and other
miscellaneous corrections would have to be made in order to meet Code.
The house currently obtains its drinking water from a domestic well on the
property. The farmer who naw leases the Cityproperty adjacent to the house
is not able to use plant effluent on much of the adjoining property because
of the conflict with the domestic well. The use of sludge on this property
is also restricted by the domestic well. This fanner leased this property
with the understanding that he could use plant effluent for irrigation.
Because of the cost of the corrections to the house and the limitation of
using plant effluent and sludge on the land, it 1 s recommended that the house
be removed Rom the property at this time.
