RESOLUTION OF NECESSITY
PROJECT NO. 283 -GF
SARATOGA AVENUE WIDENING
WHEREAS, on July 18, 1983, the Town Council of the town of Los Gatos held a
hearing after notice given to the persons and in the manner required by Code of Civ-
il Procedure Section 1245.235.
RESOLVED:
1. The public interest and necessity of the Town of Los Gatos require the tak-
ing of the real property or interests in real property shown on the at-
tached Exhibit "A ", which is incorporated in this Resolution by reference
(in fee simple absolute unless a lesser interest is described), for city
street purposes, a public use,under authorization of Government Code, Sec-
tion 37350.5 and the construction of public street improvements including
pavement, curbs, gutters, sidewalks, storm drainage facilities, and in-
stallation of street trees, street lights, and underground utilities
thereon.
2. The Town Council finds and determines:
a. The public interest and necessity require the proposed project because
improvement and widening of Saratoga Avenue is necessary to alleviate
street deficiencies.
b. The taking and acquisition of the foregoing property is necessary for
such public use, and it is necessary for the Town of Los Gatos to
condemn and acquire such property.
C. The proposed project is planned and located in the manner that will be
most compatible with the greater public good and the least private in-
jury because alignment of roadway is established in official plan
lines and is consistent with the General Plan, zoning and existing
street pattern of the area. The street improvements conform to the
existing improved street at each end of the project. The property
owners will be compensated for right -of -way provided.
d. The property described in this Resolution is necessary for the project
because there is not sufficient right -of -way for the proposed project
to be constructed unless the property is acquired. If said property
is not acquired, a short section of unimproved road will encroach into
the roadway causing a discontinuity and traffic hazard.
e. The offer required by Government Code Section 7267.2 has been made to
the owner of record of the subject property.
3. The Town Attorney of the Town of Los Gatos is directed to commence an ac-
tion in the Superior Court to condemn and acquire in the name of the Town
of Los Gatos, said property for the use of the Town.
