Minutes - Board - 1952-06-05Minutes of regular meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District held at 2057 (Rear)
Newport Avenue Costa Mesa California, June 5th 1952
Present: Directors TeWinkle, Nelson, Lord, Norman, Meyers
Attorney Anderson. Engineer Francis H Bulot and
Robert Bulot.
Secretary- Project Manager F B Owen.
Others: Dr Gunning Butler. Frederick E Betlach.
In view of the presence of Messrs Butler and Betlach for the purpose of
discussing acquisition of rights of way for sewer mains through certain
property, regular order of business was suspended to permit such
discussion. Secretary read letter dated May 27th 1952 addressed to
Dr Gunning Butler, Frederick E Betlach and Wesley Collins,.inviting
each of them to be present at this meeting. Wesley Collins not having
put in appearance, Secretary endeavored to reach him by telephone,
but was unable to do so.
Engineer Bulot with use of maps described the locations and routes
of proposed sewer mains through and upon the properties of Messrs
Butler and Betlach and Collins, giving the District's reasons for
desiring such rights of way, the conditions under which this line
formerly included in plans of County Sanitation District No 6, was
taken over by the Costa Mesa Sanitary District, and the benefits
accruing to property adjacent to proposeld route, emphasizing this
service to undeveloped area as a fundamental reason for the proposed
installation of sewer mains providing service connections, in the
locations described.
After considerable discussion and explanations , Mr Betlach said,
"You can have this easement as long as you pay me what it cost," and
stated his reasons as being that he could not use the land under ease-
ment, could not obtain loan , etc.
Dr Butler then said, "Running across my property would be a benefit to
the property, and I am perfectly willing to give you such easement
free of cost."
Upon further discussion in which Engineer and Directors took part
seeking to describe the District's position and responsibilities
and the benefits to be derived from such construction by property
affected, together with the statement by Engineer Bulot to the effect
that if the Sanitation District had retained responsibility for the con-
struction of the line in question, it would have taken possession of
necessary land and gone ahead with construction, "whether you liked it
or not." To which Mr Betlach replied that he had consulted legal
counsel and knew something about what could be done.
It was then suggested that the proposed route might be changed to miss
the Collins property and follow a route westward from easterly boundary
of Betlach's Lot 507 a distance of about 33C' feet, thence southerly
across and in the middle of Lots 507 -508. This would add 330 lineal
feet along the northerly side of Lot 507, paralleling an existing row of
trees. Mr Betlach immediately said this would require an additional
payment of $250 00 for this part of the easement, or a total of $750 00.
After further comments and discussion, Mr Betlach stated that "If I have
to go to court and fight, I will go to court - the same rate down the
trees or $250 00."
At this point and there appearing no point in further discussion, Mr
Betlach retired.
Regular order of business resumed.
Minutes of regular meeting of May 1st read and approved.
Minutes of Special meeting May 15th read and approved.
The following bills being read, upon motion by Director Nelson seconded
