Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
A request has been submitted by Steven S. Jones and Karen Jones, Trustees of the S & K Jones Trust dated February 7, 2005, owners of Lot 136 and Thomas G. Yancey, Trustee of the Yancey Family Trust dated July 16, 2013, owners of Lot 137, owners of Assessor's Parcel Numbers 109-161-002 and 109-161-003, requesting that the County of El Dorado, Board of Supervisors, vacate portions of public utility easements located on said properties. Subject easements are more particularly described in Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B of the attached Resolution. Said properties are within the community of Cameron Park, Supervisorial District 2.
The public utility easements, as shown on Lot 136 and Lot 137 of Cameron Park Unit No. 3, recorded in Book C of Subdivisions at Page 38, were offered to the County of El Dorado by Robert L. Cameron, Ruth D. Cameron, and Michael J. Daugherty, on December 8, 1959. The easements were acknowledged and accepted by the County of El Dorado on December 28, 1959, and the Subdivision Map was recorded on December 28, 1959.
ALTERNATIVES
An alternative would be to not adopt a Resolution of Vacation for Abandonment of Easement 21-0001. By utilizing this alternative, the owners of Assessor's Parcels 109-161-002 and 109-161-003 would be unable to pursue any development that would impact the subject easements.
