DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
On April 28, 2016, the Board of Supervisors extended three tentative maps in conjunction with the approval of Development Agreements on each project: Bell Ranch (TM96-1321-R-3/TM96-1321-E-2), Bell Woods (TM01-1380-R/ TM01-1380-E), and Hawk View (TM00-1371-R/TM00-1371-E) (referred to hereafter collectively as “Subdivision Projects”). All three Subdivision Projects were put forth by the developer Lennar Winncrest, LLC (Developer), and each of the Subdivision Projects were conditioned to construct the realignment of Country Club Drive in Cameron Park, extending from the previous alignment of Tierra De Dios Drive westward to Bass Lake Road, consistent with the Bass Lake Hills Specific Plan (BLHSP).
The Department of Transportation (Transportation) shows the new segment of Country Club Drive is included in the BLHSP circulation map, as well as being identified in the associated Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP). Additionally, the improvements were included in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) as project #71360, “Country Club Drive Realignment - Bass Lake Road to Tierra de Dios Drive.”
Because these improvements were off site, the underlying land could not be dedicated by the Developer via the Final Maps of any of the Subdivision Projects. An existing alignment of City Lights Drive had been previously dedicated as a Road & Public Utility Easement on Parcel Maps 5-11, 15-53, and 48-80, but additional right-of-way was required to accommodate the final design.
A portion of the underlying right-of-way was purchased by the County from the owner, M.H. Mohanna, as approved by the Board on July 16, 2019 (Legistar File 19-1008), and recorded on Grant Deeds 2019-0050961 and 2019-0050962 for APNs 119-080-12 and 119-080-23, respectively. To complete the alignment, several Irrevocable Offers of Dedication (IODs) were made on portions of parcels affected by the new road alignment. The Board consented to the making of each of those dedications as described below, and the Resolutions considered in this item formally accept each offer made.
The affected parcels and IODs are as follows:
- APN 119-080-17, Fee ROW dedicated by Asha LLC on September 8, 2017. Consented to by the Board on April 30, 2019, Legistar File 19-0639, and recorded at 2019-0016547
- APN 119-080-10, Fee ROW dedicated by Jean Dolores Wyckoff on July 21, 2017. Consented to by the Board on April 30, Legistar File 19-0638, and recorded at 2019-0016548
- APN 119-080-09, Fee ROW dedicated by Richard F. Moorhouse Jr. and Karen L. Moorhouse, as Co-Trustees of The Richard F. and Karen L. Moorhouse Family Trust, Established September 30, 1999 (Moorhouse) on June 29, 2017. Consented to by the Board on July 17, 2018, Legistar File 18-1026, and recorded at 2018-0028251
- APN 119-080-09, Drainage Easement dedicated by Moorhouse on June 29, 2017. Consented to by the Board on July 17, 2018, Legistar File 18-1026, and recorded at 2018-0028249
- APN 119-080-08, Fee ROW dedicated by Moorhouse on June 29, 2017. Consented to by the Board on July 17, 2018, Legistar File 18-1026, and recorded at 2018-0028250
Subsequent to the Board’s acceptance of these IODs, Transportation will accept the segment of Country Club Drive into the County Maintained Mileage System. The roadway has been constructed by the Developer, and its warranty period completed.
Authorization for recording of said Acceptances is pursuant to Government Code Section 7050.
