In order to accomplish this goal, it is necessary for the City to acquire a portion of a parcel, commonly known as 6400 Dublin Boulevard (APN 941-0550-009-11), owned by Tejindar P. and Rajinder K. Singh ("Singhs"). The subject property is located at the southwest corner of the Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road intersection. The Singhs are currently operating a 76 Gas Station on this site. The City must acquire 5,480 square feet of land in fee from the Dublin Boulevard and Dougherty Road frontages of this site for the Dublin Boulevard/Dougherty Road Widening Project. In addition to the fee ownership acquisition, the City also needs to acquire a 1,967 square -foot temporary construction easement to facilitate construction of the project. Within the area of the proposed acquisition, the property is landscaped with grass and groundcover and includes portions of asphalt driveways and paving. --------------------------------------------------------------- COPIES TO: Tejindar & Rajinder Singh Kevin Lally, Attorney at Law ITEM NO.
