UTILITY EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND DEED
_ This UTILITY EASEMENT AGREEMENT AND DEED (this "Agreement"), dated
5/c�i' 2003, is made by and among RALPH A. BERTOLINO, AS TRUSTEE OF
THE RALPH ALAN BERTOLINO 1996 TRUST and RALPH A. BERTOLINO, AS
TRUSTEE OF THE RALPH ALAN BERTOLINO 1996 TRUST DBA "CAPISTRANO
PLAZA" (hereafter collectively referred to as "Bertolino,"), the SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a public body, corporate and politic
(hereafter referred to as the "Agency"), and the CITY OF SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, a
municipal corporation (the "City"). Bertolino, Agency and City are sometimes referred to
together as the "Parties".
In consideration of the promises made herein, the Parties agree as follows:
RECITALS
A. BERTOLINO (hereafter sometimes referred to as "Grantee") is the owner of
certain real property located in the County of Orange, State of California, as more particularly
described on Exhibits "A" and "B", attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.
The property described on Exhibit "A" is referred to herein as the "Footprint Property", and the
property described on Exhibit "B" is referred to herein as the "Capistrano Plaza Property". The
Footprint Property and the Capistrano Plaza Property may sometimes be referred to collectively
as the "Grantee's Property".
B. The Footprint Property is improved with certain improvements, including, but not
limited to, a two story building and fences, walkways, walls and landscaping and similar
incidental items, collectively referred to herein as the "Building", and is commonly known as
26755 Verdugo Street, in the City of San Juan Capistrano, State of California.
C. The City is the owner of the public sidewalks which are immediately adjacent to
the Footprint, and of the public streets, curbs, driveways and gutters which are in turn adjacent to
such public sidewalks (collectively, the "Public Property").
38483.0001\ MCHOLMS\IRV\311 W3.1
D. The Agency, by virtue of its interest as a sub lessee under that certain Ground
Lease dated March 8, 1971, between National Producers Life Insurance Company (the "Original
Lessor") as Lessor, and Provincial Properties, Inc. (the "Original Lessee") as Lessee (the "1971
Lease"), may have acquired some right, title or interest in and to some or all of the real property
or improvements ("Residual Rights Area") which surround the Footprint Property, which were a
portion of the property governed by the 1971 Lease. Although the 1971 Lease is, or by the date
of recordation of this Agreement will be, terminated, the Agency joins in this Agreement for the
purpose of insuring that no residual rights remain in Agency which could operate to prohibit or
interfere with Grantee's ingress and access to, or egress from, the Footprint Property and the
private property improved with landscaping, sidewalks, parking areas, driveways and similar
items which surrounds the Footprint Property. The Agency joins in the granting of the
easements conveyed herein as its interests, if any, may appear, and no intention to create any
new interest, or assume any obligations or liabilities which it would not otherwise have are to be
deemed to be created by virtue of such joinder.
E. The City is the owner of the Leasehold interest in the property described on
Exhibit "C" hereto (the "Parking Lot"), pursuant to that certain Ground Lease Agreement dated
July 15, 1982, between Antonin Bertolino, Echo May Bertolino, and Ralph A. Bertolino as
landlord but referred to therein as "Owner" and the City as tenant but referred to therein as "City"
(the "1982 Lease"). Bertolino is the current fee owner of the Parking Lot property, which is
adjacent to both the Footprint Property and Capistrano Plaza.
F. The City and the Agency are sometimes referred to herein collectively as
"Grantor", and the Public Property, the Parking Lot, and the Residual Rights Area are sometimes
collectively referred to herein as the "Easement Areas".
G. The Parties desire to ensure that the Footprint Property and the Building has
adequate utility service, and the right to repair, maintain and replace utility lines, pipes, and
related improvements serving the Footprint Property and the Building, and have entered into this
Agreement to accomplish same.
Therefore, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Grant of Easement By City. The City hereby grants to Grantee, its successors
and assigns with respect to Grantee's interest in the Building and the Footprint Property, a
perpetual, non-exclusive easement for the use, installation, repair, maintenance, construction,
operation and replacement of underground and aboveground utility and service lines, including
but not limited to, water, sewer, gas, storm drains, telephone, electricity and other cable and
communication lines (collectively, "the Utility Improvements"), in, under, and above the Public
Property and the Parking Lot, at such locations and in such a manner, and in at least such
capacity as exists as of the date hereof and presently serve the Footprint Property and the
Building. The Parties acknowledge and agree that due to the age of the Building and the existing
Utility Improvements, the exact location of some of the Utility Improvements may not be known
exactly, or at all, but they nonetheless wish to grant the rights and make the agreements set forth
herein.

3. Reservation of Rights. The City, and its respective successors and assigns, and
