City Council JUST SOLD delays vote on leasing SE Corner of Casanova & 9th Avenue | Carmel-by-the-Sea | $2,895,000 | Represented Buyers railroad property
By KELLY NIX
PACIFIC GROVE council members will wait up to 90 days to decide whether or not to lease a thin, 1.4-mile-long piece of land owned by Union Pacific Railroad, a big portion of which is a popular pathway used by walkers and runners. At the Feb. 18 P.G. City Council meeting, the council had the option of entering into a lease agreement with the rail- road company to allow residents and visitors “unrestricted access” to the 8.35-acre property, which traverses the city’s golf links. The property was for many decades the Central Pacific Railroad’s route from Lovers Point to Asilomar and Spanish Bay. The rail line was shut down in 1972 and, after the tracks were removed, the land became a popular hiking route, even though it remained railroad property. Not only would the lease guarantee public access to the property, “the city would also have access to the trail for maintenance purposes to ensure that adjoining properties remain safe and free of any potential hazards,” according to Past performance is a guarantee of future success. Let me help you with your Real Estate needs in 2015 a report presented to the city council. But concerns raised by the Golf Links Advisory Commission and others prompted the council to vote 4-3 for a 90-day deferral on deciding on the trail lease so the idea Dana Bambace 831.224.6353 could be further studied. Golf commission chairman Bruce Obbink urged the www.DANABAMBACE.com council to delay its decision. CalBRE#: 01731448 “I thought golf commission should have been given all the data before it went to the city council since the trail goes through the golf course,” Obbink told The Pine Cone. Though Mayor Bill Kampe voted against the 90-day wait- ing period saying the time frame was excessive, he told The Pine Cone that in hindsight it was a good idea to put off the vote so the council could get more information about the proposal. “The cost to lease the property would have been zero” to TThe first step toward creating a the city, Kampe said. “But the tradeoff means we are funda- mentally taking over maintenance obligations. How much that would cost? And what about any liability issues?
