WHEREAS, in 1997 a portion of Hawkwood Road was dedicated to the City of
Diamond Bar in fee for public street purposes on Tract Map No. 47850, recorded in
Book 1225, Pages 89 through 99 inclusive, of maps in the Office of the County
Recorder of the County of Los Angeles, State of California; and

dedicated Hawkwood Road is not needed for any current or prospective use by the City
as is more particularly described and depicted in Exhibits "A" and "B" of the Quitclaim
Deed (hereafter, the "Property") which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by
this reference; and
WHEREAS, the Property lies within the Diamond Bar Country Estates
Association (DBCEA) and DBCEA has agreed to annex and maintain the Property as
common area- in accordance with the Quitclaim Deed; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has determined, in accordance with
Government Code section 65402, that the disposition of the Property is consistent with
the City's General Plan in that it is not needed for any City purpose; and
WHEREAS, by way of the Quitclaim Deed, DBCEA will maintain a portion of the
Property for emergency access and DBCEA's use thereof will be subject to all existing
utilities.
B. RESOLUTION:
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DIAMOND BAR,
CALIFORNIA, DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
1.. That disposing of the Property furthers a City purpose in that the City has
no present or future need for the Property and transferring title to the DBCEA will relieve
the City of maintenance and liability responsibilities for the Property, which otherwise
has little to no value.
2, That the Mayor is authorized to execute the Quitclaim Deed in the form
attached to this Resolution.
