Clearlake council authorizes purchase of two parcels for Eighteenth Avenue extension
Summary
Council authorized purchase of two adjoining self-storage parcels for $550,000 to allow construction of a road extension and safer intersection at Eighteenth Avenue and Highway 53; staff said tenant removal and closing should occur within 45–60 days.
Clearlake’s council authorized staff to complete the purchase of two parcels west of the Eighteenth Avenue and Highway 53 intersection to enable a road and intersection improvement project.
City staff described the parcels as self-storage properties immediately west of the Eighteenth Avenue/Highway 53 intersection and said the city had negotiated a sales price of $550,000. The purchase is intended to allow construction of an extension of Eighteenth Avenue to create a safer, more attractive intersection. Staff told the council that closing should occur within 45–60 days once tenants are given notice and personal property is removed.
A council member moved to approve the purchase and to authorize the city manager to execute the necessary documents; the minutes record the motion as moved by Councilman Craighead and seconded by Councilman Claffey. The council voted 'Aye' and the motion passed. Staff did not record additional conditions in the meeting minutes.
The transcript contains inconsistent spellings for one parcel listed in the agenda and motion (appearing as "6461 Nanonita Avenue" in the staff description and later as "6461 Van Cenida Avenue" in the motion). Staff said they will complete tenant notifications and closing within the stated timeframe; the council did not ask for further modifications during the vote.
What happens next: staff will proceed to close escrow after tenant removal and will coordinate required notices and construction planning for the Eighteenth Avenue extension.
