At the February 24, 1988 meeting, JAC authorized staff to complete joint negotiations with the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company (AT6cSF) and the Sammis Company to accomplish both goals. Recognizing Encina's need to acquire the Avenida Encinas right of way regardless of whether negotiations can be successfully concluded with Sammis, Carlsbad staff subsequently requested that the JAC authorization be revised to allow direct purchase of the right of way. This approach was discussed with TAC and it is: RECOMMENDED c-: That JAC: 1. Further direct staff to pursue acquisition of the 1.58 acres of ATdcSF right of way needed to extend Avenida Encinas prior to completing negotiations with the Sammis Company; and 2. Request the City of Vista to expend up to an additional $176,000 from the Vista Trust Fund for the purchase of the right of way and associated costs from the ATbcSF Railway. DISCUSSION The right of way needed for the extension of Avenida Encinas is one of the items to be addressed before the Vista Trust Fund can be closed. In contrast, the alignment of Avenida Encinas need not be set until after a local facilities management plan is filed by Sammis and approved by Carlsbad. In fact, road alignments typically are not set until a tentative map is approved by the City. Carlsbad staff would have difficulty approving the realignment prior to approval of the tentative map. In the meantime, Encina needs to fulfill its obligation regarding Avenida Encinas. Today's recommended action would allow Encina to acquire the right of way regardless of how long it takes Sammis to meet the City's requirements.

This is con- (JAC previously approved this expenditure in January, 1988). Assuming AT&SF agrees with the appraised value and does not impose additional conditions, the initial cost to Encina would be as follows: sistent with the findings of the independent appraisals prepared for Encina, Appraisals (previously spent) $ 9,000 Land Cost $172,000 Title Report !$ 2,000 Escrow Fees $ 1,500 Legal Fees $ 500 Total $185,000 These funds would come from the Vista Trust Fund. If, in subsequent nego- tiations, Sammis continues to be willing to pay the land acquisition costs in return for a realignment of Avenida Encinas, Encina could recover up to the entire $185,000.
