DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) is proposing a project in El Dorado County for State highway drainage purposes, a public use for which Caltrans has the authority to exercise the power of eminent domain. The County's property, identified as Parcel Nos. 38837-1, 2, 4, 6, are within the project area and are needed for the State’s project. Caltrans is interested in acquiring a Temporary Construction Easement (TCE) needed for construction of the public improvement. The term for Caltrans' possession and use of the TCE will be for a period of 32 months commencing on April 16, 2026, and terminating on December 1, 2028. If the parcels are no longer necessary for construction purposes, the agreement may be terminated early by Caltrans upon written notice to the County. The State is offering to pay the County $55,900 in Fair Market Value Just Compensation for the timely signing of the Right of Way Contract.
ALTERNATIVES
The Board could deny the State the temporary construction easement and the County would not receive the compensation.
