DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
A request has been submitted by Lindsey D.

The remaining portion of the easement is more particularly described in Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B of the attached Resolution. Said property is within the community of El Dorado Hills, Supervisorial District 1.
The Drainage and Public Utility easement, as shown on Lot 32 of Rolling Hills Estates Unit No. 1, recorded in Book I of Subdivisions at Page 11, was offered to the County of El Dorado by Pulte Home Corporation, A Michigan Corporation, on July 15, 1998.
