Los Angeles County TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS Metropolitan Transportation THROUGH: Authority FROM:

425 South Main Street SUBJECT: UPDATE ON ACQUISITION OF PERMANENT , CA SUBSURFACE EASEMENTS THROUGH THE 9oo~3q393 HOLLYWOODHILLS

213.972.6ooo

BACKGROUND

At its May24, 1995 meeting, the MTABoard of Directors was requested to hold a public hearing and adopt a Resolution of Necessity authorizing the commencementof eminent domain proceedings to acquire permanent subsurface easements (PSE) from approximately84 properties. The properties are located in the HollywoodHills along the alignment of the Metro Rail Segment 3 tunnel alignment between the Hollywood/Highlandand Universal City stations.

Approximately 30 property owners were present at the meeting and addressed the Board concerning the staffs request to initiate condemnation action. The Board deferred any action on the adoption of the resolution for 30 days and requested staff to work with the property ownersduring the 30 days and report back to the Board on all actions taken.

ACTIONS TAKEN SUBSEQUENT TO BOARD MEETING

The Real Estate, Construction and Public Affairs staffs immediately made plans to hold a communitymeeting with the property owners to discuss the project and to respond to all questions raised by the property owners. A meeting was held on Wednesday, May31, at the CampoDe Cahuenga in Studio City. A meeting notice was sent to all property owner notifying them of the meeting. Approximately 35 property owners attended the meeting.

Staff members from Real Estate, Construction and County Counsel made presentations and answered questions raised by the property owners. A written response to frequently asked Real Estate questions was prepared as a hand-out and was distributed at the meeting (Attachment 1). The issues raised at the meeting the property ownerswere primarily in the following areas: ¯ The selection of the alignment through the HollywoodHills. ¯ The involvementof property ownersduring the selection process. MTABoard of Directors June 13, 1995 Page 2

¯ The effect of the tunnel on the future value of their properly. ¯ The possible effect of noise and vibration from the train operations and MTA’sresponsibility to mitigate damages. ¯ The possible effect of the tunnel construction and operations on the seismic activity in the area. Responseswere given at the meeting and staff is following up with the following actions: ¯ Mailed follow-up package of information to each property owner on June 8 which included materials requested at the meeting related to public participation in the Metro Red Line Project environmentalprocess (Attachment2). ¯ Agreed to prepare deed reservation language which would reserve to owners and to their successors specified rights with respect to the project, particularly with regard to noise and vibration and perhaps other future damageissues. Agreementis being prepared by County Counsel. ¯ Arrangeto have a seismic expert from the California Institute of Technologyaddress the next meeting of the Metro Red Line North HollywoodExtension Citizen’s Committeeand invite property ownersto attend. ¯ Assign MTAReal Estate Staff to complete the acquisition process. RECOMMENDED ACTIONS

Staff has reviewed the construction schedule and determined that the construction need date can be divided into two groups. Starter Tunnel Easements July 26, 1995 Running Tunnel Easements October 1, 1995 Based on the revised schedule, staff will recommendthat the request to adopt the Resolution of Necessity presented at the May24th meeting be withdrawn. A new public hearing will be scheduled for the July 26 BoardMeeting to adopt a resolution for the two parcels that are needed for the starter tunnel. MTAReal Estate staff will continue negotiations with those property ownerS~nan effort to complete the acquisition through negotiations. The Real Estate staff will continue to communicatewith the remaining property owners to address their concerns and to complete the acquisitions through negotiations. Those parcels not acquired to meet the October 1, 1995 construction need date will be brought back to the Board at its Septembermeeting. The Real Estate, Construction, Public Affairs and County Counsel staff are committed to continue workingwith the communityto address their issues.

RESPONSES TO FREQUENTLY ASKED REAL ESTATE QUESTIONS

APPRAISAL QUESTIONS

Q1. Will the MTAsend an owner a copy of the appraisal of his property?

Uponrequest, owners of one to three dwelling unit properties are entitled to review MTA appraisals of their property. Please note that in this instance, the appraisal is of a subsurface easementfound to have a nominalvalue and is not an appraisal of the full value of the property.

Q2. Is Just Compensationbased on nominal value or market value?

Just Compensationis the fair market value of any taking by the MTAas determined by an appraisal. The offered amount presented to the property owner will be this amount or higher, but never less. Nominalvalue is presumedto exist where there is no perceptible dift~rence in the market value of the entire property, before and after the taking. In essence, the taking has little or no market value. Since under most circumstances, a property owner cannot be expected to convey an interest in property without receiving somecompensation, the appraiser determines a nominal value for the taking that is based upon his research, analysis and experience. Based on the appraisal, the MTAhas determinedthat this nominalvalue is consideredto be the fair marketvalue of the taking.

Q3. What market information do you have that shows that a permanent subsurface easement for a subwaymakes no perceptible difference on the market value of the entire residential property?

There is no market information that exist for a situation comparable to the type of acquisitions involved here; i.e. the acquisition of extremelydeep subsurface easementsthat run through rock formation. In this case the appraiser had to reach his opinion of value based on conclusions drawn from engineering and environmental studies that (1) the transit construction and operation will not result in any significant adverse impacts from noise or vibration; (2) the tunnel construction and operations will not result in damage existing improvementsnor interfere with the current or future highest and best use of the land; (3) ttiere is no difference in the highest and best use before and after the acquisition and (4) there is no damageto the remainder as a result of the subsurface easement. The appraiser concludedthat the presence of a permanentsubsurface easement will not affect the value of the surface improvements.Market studies that have been performed on land values near or adjacent to rail stations have shownthat properties that are near rail stations have experiencedan increase in value.

Q4. Is the nominal value the same for all residential property easements?

The nominalvaluation for all "Like" properties is the same. The types of property included single family residences, multifamily residences, and commercialdevelopments. Real Estate Responses Page 2

QS. Are your appraisals done in-house or by independent appraisers?

A. The appraisal of the subsurface easements were performed by independent appraisers.

Q6. Please identify the companyor individuals who performed the appraisals of our properties?

All of the subsurface easement appraisals were prepared by Michael Popwell, CGREA,of Mezaand Madrid Development,Inc., and reviewed by independent, fee appraiser, Taylor Dark, MAI.

Q7. Will granting the easementaffect, in any way, the developmentof my property?

A. No, the tunnels are so deep, ranging from 150 to 900 feet below grade, that future developmentwill not be affected.

QS. In arriving at a nominal value for the easement, were severance damages and/or future damages considered?

Yes, the primary function of the appraisal was to determine the fair market value of the subsurface easements and to estimate the severance damage, if any, to the parent properties. A remainder property results when subtracting the permanent subsurface easement from the parent property. The appraiser concluded that there was no differentiation betweenthe remainder properties’ existing utility or use and that of the parent properties before the taking. The only difference found would be the existence of the permanentsubsurface easement itself. Consequently, since there would be no damages to the parent properties, severance and/or future damageswere not warranted.

NEGOTIATIONS/ACQUISITION QUESTIONS

Q9. Will the MTAaccept counteroffers? Howcan counter offers be made?

A. Th~ MTAwill consider counteroffers, particularly if they are accompanied with information that would support the amount of the counteroffer. /vlTA will review the information submitted and determine whether there is a basis to accept the counteroffer. Anycounteroffer should be made in writing to the MTADirector of Real Estate, Velma C. Marshall.

Q10. Whathappens if an MTAoffer is rejected?

If the MTAoffer is rejected and it appears that a settlement cannot be reached, the MTA Real Estate staff will notify the property owner that a public hearing is being scheduled before the MTABoard of Directors to consider the adoption of a Resolution of Necessity to acquire the property through the eminent domain process. If the Board adopts the resolution, a condemnationaction will be filed with the Superior Court of the Countyof Real Estate Responses Page 3

Los Angeles. However, the MTAstaff will continue to work with property owners to reach a settlementprior to trial.

Qll. Whateffect, if any, will granting of the easementhave uponmy mortgage?

A. This depends upon the language in your mortgage contract. Youshould review your loan documents to determine what your lender requires, if any interest in the property is conveyedto a third party. If you have somedoubts about this issue, you maywait until the MTAhas filed a condemnation suit. At your request, the MTAwill name the mortgagorin the suit and this will protect you from any action by the mortgagor.

Q12. In recording the easement deeds at the CountyRecorder’s Office, does MTApay for all fees connectedwith the recording?

A. Yes.

CONSTRUCTION/OPERATIONS RELATED QUESTIONS

QI3. Does granting the easement release the MTAfrom any responsibility or liability from damagecreated, caused or resulting from construction work?

No. If there is any damageto your property as a result of MTAconstruction, a claim may be made to the MTARisk ManagementConstruction Claim Department.

Q14. Will the MTAcompensate property owners for all damages to properties and all costs incurred in seeking recovery?

Any physical damageto your property caused by the construction or operation of the project should be processed as an insurance claim. If noise or vibration occurs which unreasonablyinterferes with the beneficial use of the property, a claim should be madeto the MTA."If the insurance carrier in the former instance, or the MTAin the latter instance, concurs in the damage,there will be no cost to you in seeking recovery. If the claim is disputed, the property owner may bring an action against the MTA.Successful plaintiffs in such cases usually recover damagesand costs.

Q15. Does MTAhave an indemnification agreement in place to protect property owners from losses or damagesto their property?

A. No. (See responses to Questions 13 and 14 above. Real Estate Responses Page 4

QI6. Canyou assure methat a vent shaft will not be located on my property?

A. No, not at this time. The construction of the twin tunnels will require the construction of a mid-line vent shaft and several alternative locations will be studied. Potentially affected property, owners will be notified prior to a decision by the MTABoard on the selected site.

Q17. Are maps available showing the subsurface easement boundaries and maps showing vertical cross sections of the project as it affects individual properties?

A parcel plat mapis customarily included with every Offer Letter submitted to a property owner. This mapshows the boundaries of the easement take area in relationship to the parent property. A Property Identification drawingis available which showsthe alignment of the tunnel through the mountains and a copy is available at this meeting for your review. Bulky documentsand publications, such as parcel cross-sectional views and the Environmental Impact Reports, are available for viewing at the MTAoffices located at 818 West , Los Angeles.

Q18. Will you send out proposed plans for the construction and operation of the Project within the targeted easement areas?

No. Copies of construction plans are available for a fee and may be obtained by contacting the Records ManagementCenter, ATTN:Judith Butler, 818 West 7th Street, Los Angeles, 90017 (213) 244-7074.

Q19. Howsoon after signing the agreement or easement deed can I expect to receive payment?

Once the agreement and/or easement deed and related documents has been signed, notarized, and submitted to MTA,a check will be processed and mailed to you in two to four weeks.

Q20. After granting the easement, will MTA’s approval be required for future development of the property?

The MTAhas the fight to review all building plans that mayaffect the tunnels. However, with the tunnels at 150 feet to 900 feet belowresidentially zoned properties, there is an extremely low likelihood that any proposed construction wouldpose a threat to the safety of the tunnels. I

M Bassan & Maryann Mechammil 3797 Cahuenga Boulevard North Hollywood, CA 91604 Los Angeles CounD’ Metropolitan Dear Bassan & Maryann Mechammil Transportation Authority A meeting was held on Wednesday, May 31, 1995 at the Campo de Cahuenga with property owners affected by the future construction of the MTA Metro Red Line tunnel. We WestSeventh Street would like to express our appreciation to the thirty or Suite 300 more of you who were able to attend. os Angeles,CA 9oo~7 The MTA cou~L~itted to provide copies of the information that was distributed at the meeting to all of the z~3.97z.6ooo property owners. Enclosed is a composite list of the questions that have been asked regarding the MTA appraisal and acquisition process for the subsurface Mallim3Address: easements and questions regarding construction and P.O.Box 194 operation issues. This document was handed out at the Angeles,CA 90o53 meeting.

As you know, the Public Hearing held by the MTA Board on May 28th was continued for 30 days in order to permit the staff to meet with property owners regarding the many issues raised at the meeting. Staff will recommend that the Public Hearing be canceled for the June 28thmeeting in order to permit more time to resolve many of the open issues with you.

Responding to the requests made by many of you the MTA proposes to take the following actions:

MTA will proceed to acquire the two most northerly of the parcels required for the tunnel construction. Follow-up will be made to the property owners and a public hearing will be rescheduled for July 26 for parcels C3-402 and C3- 406. These two parcels are needed earlier than the remaining parcels.

The real estate staff will continue to work with the remaining property owners over the next two months to remove as many of their objections to accepting the MTA offer as possible. If negotiations are unsuccessful, it would then be the intent of staff to again schedule the public hearing. June 8, 1995 page 2

It was announced at the May 31st meeting that the MTA has agreed to double its initial offer to property owners as an administrative settlement for the acquisition of the subsurface easements. We were asked to put this in writing and this letter is our confirmation of that offer.

Also, at the Wednesday night meeting, MTA counsel agreed to prepare a purchase agreement with language which would reserve to owners and to their successors specified rights with respect to the project, particularly with regard to noise and vibration and other future damage issues. This document along with the MTA Subsurface Easement Deed will be sent to property owners as soon as itis available.

A number of questions were asked at the meeting regarding public notification and involvement in the planning process. In response we are enclosing the "Summary Report for Reconstruction of Public Participation for the Metro Red Line Project" This report describes the public involvement process for the Metro Red Line Project. .

There were also a number of questions about the tunnels and earthquakes. We are arranging to have a seismic expert from the California Institute of Technology address the next meeting of the Metro Red Line North Hollywood Extension Citizen’s Committee. When the arrangements have been completed we will send you an invitation to attend.

If you have additional requests, or would like to schedule a meeting to discuss MTA’s offer to purchase a subsurface easement, please feel free to contact Mr. John Furby, Senior Real Estate Officer at (213) 244-6722 Mr. James Wiley, Manager of Acquisition Services at (213) 244-6404.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION (CANDIDATE ALIGNMENT 1 - MODIFIED)

The MTA/RCCis constructing a 17.3 mile Metro Red Line subway system. The Red Line consists of 3 segments. Segment 1, which extends from Union Station to Westlake/MacArthur Park, has been constructed and is currently in operation. Segment2 is divided into two alignments: the Wilshire Corridor alignment and the Vermont/Hollywood alignment. The Wilshire Corridor alignment begins on

e:\pat\recon sk. doc 1 01/20/94 , between Alvarado Street and Parkview Street and extends westward to the intersection of Western Avenue and Wilshire Boulevard. The Vermont/Hollywoodalignment begins at the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard and Vermont Avenue and extends northward to the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. Segment 3 will stretch from the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street through Universal City to in North Hollywood.

A layout of the three segments, a detailed mapof Segment2, and the Locally Preferred Alternative are shownas Figures 2-1, 2-2, and 2-3.

3.0 RESEARCHED DOCUMENTS

To reconstruct the public involvement process, MTA/RCC(formerly RTD) and other Agency’s files on the Metro Red Line Project were thoroughly searched and evaluated. During this search, the following individuals were contacted to provide information regarding the Metro Red Line Project:

OLYMPICBLVD 4.0 PUBLIC PARTICIPATION

During the development of this Project, public involvement was encouraged. A series of community meetings were held between January 1986 and June 1986. These meetings were held for the Vermont Corridor, Western Avenue Corridor, Fairfax Corridor, Olympic-Pico Corridor, Wilshire Corridor, and Hollywood Corridor (see Attachment 1 for the times and locations). In compliance with the Congressional mandate, and to identify and study candidate alignments that would avoid tunneling through any portion of the risk zones identified in the Task Force Report, SCRTDestablished the Congressional Ordered Re-Engineering (CORE) Study. The "Task Force Report on the March 24, 1985, Methane Gas Explosion and Fire In The Fairfax Area", dated June 10, 1985, identified specific zones where subsurface conditions indicated a "potential risk" or "potential high-risk" of encountering methane gas during subsurface excavations (See Figure 2-3). Accordingly, public input was solicited and received for the COREStudy through a series of communitymeetings; public hearings and open committee meetings of the RTDBoard of Directors; and briefings with elected officials, business and community organizations and public agencies. SCRTDalso established the CORE Forum to encourage elected officials, entrepreneurs, and community leaders to participate in the review process and to commenton the preferred routes and modes for the realignment of the Metro Rail project. TheCOREForum had 137 members (see Attachment 2) and they met four times (see Attachment 1 for times and locations).

On February 20, 1987, the public was notified of the completion of the Draft SEIR. Copies of DSEIRwere mailed to private individuals, Federal and Local Agencies, and public and major universities libraries within the COREStudy area. RTDheld a public hearing on the DSEIR. Letters, comments and questions were received from the public throughout this period. On April 24, 1987, the SCRTDBoard of Directors adopted Candidate Alignment 4 (Vermont/Sunset) as the Locally Preferred Alter~native (LPA). That decision drew major opposition from the broadcasting industries along Sunset Boulevard. Their major concern was the impact of noise, vibration and electromagnetic interference on their studios.

On July 13, 1987, the public was notified of the completion ~f a Supplemental EIS on Alternative Alignments developed to avoid tunneling under the methane gas risk zones. Written public comments and responses were received during a 30-day commentperiod which closed on August 17, 1987.

On October 1987, the City Council authorized the establishment of an Independent Technical Review Panel, comprised of four highly qualified professionals. Mr.

e:\pat\reconsk.doc 3 01/20/94 Frederick Llewellyn chaired the Panel. The other members were Mr. Carl Hanson, Mr. Mas Hatano, and Mr. Ralph Trefney. The Panel was established in order to assure a thorough and independent review of both the SCRTDfindings and studio concerns regarding the potential noise, vibration and electromagnetic interference impacts on the operation of recording and broadcasting studios on Sunset Boulevard. The Panel met three times (see Attachment 1 for times and locations). They conducted meetings in a public setting and all parties were afforded the full opportunity to testify and to provide information relevant to its charges. The findings of the Independent Technical Review Panel were presented to the Transportation and Traffic Committeeof the Los Angles City Council on November 13, 1987.

On November17, 1987, the Draft SEIS/SEIRwas made available to the public and a public hearing was scheduled for December 18, 1987. Public comments and responses were received until January 2, 1988.

On December17, 1987, the commentperiod for the Draft SEIS/SEIRwas extended from January 2 1988 to January 27, 1988 in order to allow more time for public input. On January 28, 1988, in addition to the other five candidate alignments the Board authorized consideration of Candidate Alignment 6 to mitigate the impact of the Sunset Boulevard alignment on broadcasters. On May 20, 1988, an Addendum to the Draft SEIS/SEIRwas madeavailable to the publiiz’and a public hearing was scheduled for Tuesday, June 21, 1988. Following the public hearing on June 21, 1988, the City Planning Commissionadopted Candidate Alignment 1 - Modified as the new LPA and on July 14, 1988, the SCRTDBoard also adopted Candidate Alignment 1 - Modified as the new LPAfor inclusion in the Final SEIS/SEIR. The Final SEIS/SEIRwas madeavailable to the public in July 1989.
