3 The California High-Speed Rail Authority is responsible for planning, designing, building and operation of the first high-speed rail system in the nation. California s electric high-speed rail will connect the mega-regions of the state.

4 By 2029, Phase 1 of the system will run from San Francisco to the Los Angeles basin in under 3 hours, at speeds capable of over 200 miles per hour. Phase 2 of the system will eventually extend to Sacramento and San Diego, totalling 800 miles with up to 24 stations.

6 Project Overview The Palmdale to Burbank project section connects the Antelope Valley to the San Fernando Valley in Southern California. Two distinct high-speed rail corridors with multiple alignment options are currently being considered: The SR14 Corridor and the East Corridor.

8 The East Corridor routes would tunnel through the Angeles National Forest and continue on surface rail, elevated rail, and/or tunnels to Burbank affecting the neighboring communities of Lake View Terrace, Sun Valley, Sunland/Tujunga, and Shadow Hills.

9 The development of the EIR Environmental Document for the Palmdale-Burbank Project Section is likely to begin in mid-2015 and will continue to include public hearings as well as agency and public comment opportunities.

11 Proposed Rail Impact on Local Real Estate Statistically speaking, homes are appraised by the total sq.ft. Depending on upgrades to your property, dollar amounts are affected by improvements such as stables, pools, garages (or lack of), and overall condition. Many +/- variables come into play during the appraisal process. We ll take a look at the past 10 years of SOLD property history for each area.

19 Property Disclosures Sellers in California have a legal duty to disclose to Buyers all material conditions or defects known to them which can affect the value or desirability of the property. Failure to do so can lead to liability to the Buyer for damages as a result of the lack of disclosure. Presentation content courtesy of Jana Ace Wunderlich, REALTOR Podley Properties - La Canada

20 Real Estate Transfer Disclosures Under current California law, the Buyer of a residential property (1-4 units) is entitled to a Real Estate Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) from the Seller.

21 Any Seller, represented by an agent or not, is required to give the Buyer a disclosure statement to identify, among other things, all information regarding any possible problems areas.

22 A copy of the TDS must be delivered to the Buyer before the execution of the purchase offer, or the Buyer has the right to cancel the offer within 3 days of delivery.

23 Real Estate Disclosure Forms California law requires that these forms be completed and signed by both parties: Seller s Advisory (SA) Real Estate Transfer Disclosure (TDS) Seller Property Questionnaire (SPQ) Agent Visual Inspection Disclosure (AVID)

29 Property Rights Real property (real estate) includes land, and anything attached to land and not immovable by law. Land includes the substances beneath the surface that extend to the center of the earth. Land also includes the airspace above for an indefinite distance, subject to limitations by law.

30 Eminent Domain Government may take all or some of the rights of ownership from private individuals by exercising its power of eminent domain. Fair market value of the property is then paid to compensate the former owner. Fair compensation may also include moving costs, mortgage prepayment penalties, etc. Presentation content courtesy of Jana Ace Wunderlich, REALTOR Podley Properties - La Canada

31 Eminent Domain (continued) Assistance in finding new housing is required when residential property is condemned. Tenants who must relocate are also entitled to relocation payments and services.* (*Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policies Act of 1970)

32 Condemnation Process The condemnation process may vary slightly depending on the situation, but in general: 1. Once the government decides to take the property, and has come up with a reasonable appraisal of how much the property is worth (fair market value), it will offer the property owner a pro tanto award - a partial payment from the government as compensation for the land being seized.

33 2. If the owner does not wish to sell, the government files the appropriate court action to exercise the right of eminent domain. 3. A hearing will be scheduled where the government has to show that the monetary offer is reasonable and the property is indeed being taken for public use.

34 4. During the hearing, the property owner is allowed to respond to the claims made. 5. If either side is unhappy with the decision, they have the right to appeal.

35 Inverse Condemnation This is a proceeding brought by a landowner when government puts nearby land to a use that diminishes the value of the owner s property. The Tucker Act of 1887, another federal law, allows a landowner to bring such a suit against the federal government.
