6. Discussion and Background
The Santa Ana Valley Irrigation (SAVI) Company was formed in 1877 to convey water to serve the farmers of Orange and surrounding communities. In 1975, the company was dissolved, and its interests were transferred to the City of Orange. There are approximately 54 miles of known SAVI pipelines in Orange. Most of the larger pipelines have been incorporated into the City’s storm drain system.
Staff reviewed the SAVI system and has determined the SAVI pipeline does not exist within the current easement at 2013 North Batavia Steet and the SAVI easement is no longer needed. The 2015 N. Batavia Street, LLC, has requested the vacation of the six-foot wide City SAVI storm drain easement on the south side and east side of the property for a proposed development.
Given that the SAVI storm drain easement is no longer needed, staff recommends approval of the Quitclaim Deed of the storm drain easement to 2015 N. Batavia, LLC at 2013 North Batavia Street.
