Honorable Board of Supervisors -2- July 18, 1958

Please see the Confidential Real Estate Report furnished on this date
to the Board members on details of the appraisals and the negotiations
in accordance with Board Order of July 16, 1957.

Possession of the William S. Hart Park property passed to the County
on August 1, 1957 when the decree of distribution under the Hart
estate was recorded after extensive litigation. The proposed addition
to said park will provide an adequate parking area and a satisfactory
ingress and egress pattern for traffic. Other proposed developments
to better serve the public which cannot be placed on the present park
property are planned to be located on this proposed addition.

TERRITORIAL JURISDICTION OF SUBJECT PROPERTY

The property reported upon herein is presently in unin-
corporated territory of the County and in the local
community of Newhall. Our careful inquiry indicates
that there is at this time no evident local action by
citizens of the district for incorporation proceedings
which woul d include the subject property or for annex-
ation thereof to any existing city.

The acquisition of the aforesaid park addition was approved by the
Regional Planning Commission on December 17, 1957,

RECOMMENDA'rIONS:

1. That your Board make a finding that the subject
property is needed for County purposes; namely,
a park and other governmental use.

2. That your Board approve the attached Notice of
Intention to Purchase the land described therein.

3. That the Clerk of the Board be instructed to carry
out the necessary legal steps for advertising.

very truly you s,

Robert B. Heuer
Director
