The deed in question was executed more than five years, ago and was subject to the condition that the City construct a road along the north border of the Civic, Center property. This condition has not been fulfilled and it appears obvious that the road in question will never be constructed at the place designated in the deed. This being so, it is requested that the City execute and deliver to ~lr.Cassady a quit claim deed to the property previously deeded to the City. I would appreciate it if you would give this matter your immediate attention. TGC: ofp T.

ARCADIA, CALIFORN IA TELEPHONE: DOUGLAS 7-8169 March 3, 1953 City Council, Ci ty Hall, Arcadia, California. Gentlemen: I represent C. P. Cassady. In 1947 he purchased a 40 ft. 11 strip of land adjoining the County Park on the west in 40~ Arcadia. In 1948 an agreement was entered into with the ^UoJ )/t~ County of Los Angeles and the City of Arcadia whereby I~ \1 cP,.r;~C-Jr'\ }Ir.Cassady would retain for his own use a parcel of land '-1-l\Q "'-.:PI extending 1200 ft. south from the square of the northwest \00 ~. I corner of the property and would grant.to the County the ~fi ~~~ remainder of this abandoned railroad right of way 40 ft. in ~' width and approximately 3200 ft. in length, upon ,the condition that the County would improve, maintain and keep open a road immediately to the east of the property retained by }Ir,Cassady so that such improved road would be contiguous to the full length of his property, otherwise the property thus deeded to the County would revert to Mr.Cassady. It was agreed that the County would construct and maintain a concrete sidewalk along the east side of the property retained by Mr.Cassady for the entire 1200 ft. except for a distance of 100 ft. beginning at the extended north line of the property upon which the City of Arcadia is building a civic center and extending in a southerly direction, which 100 ft. Mr.Cassady deeded to the City for a roadway and an entrance to the civic center site through his property. The deed to the City of this parcel was conditional upon the;] City installing and improving a 100 ft. roadway between the ~ County Park and the civic center. The deed from }Ir.Cassady to 1:), the City of Arcadia was executed on July 8, 1948. ~~ I am advised that nothing has been done by the County or the City to fulfill the conditions under which the property in question was transferred to the County and to the City. I will appreciate it if you will inform me as to the status of this matter. It is my recollection that the purpose of the 100 ft. roadway was to provide a crossing from the park to cPwi. ~~,,-~v, r~\ Arcadia City Council-page 2 Harch 3, 1953 the C1V1C center over the tracks of the Pacific Electric Railway and since these tracks have now been abandoned and removed the City may wish to abandon this project and to return to }rr.Cassady the strip deeded to the City as aforesaid.
