Background
The intersection of Pleasant Valley Road (State Route 49)/Patterson Drive is located approximately one mile northeast of the community of El Dorado and two miles northwest of the community of Diamond Springs on State Route 49. Currently the intersection is a three-way stop.
The Pleasant Valley Road (SR49)/Patterson Drive Intersection Signalization Project (Project) area consists of approximately 1,800 feet of Pleasant Valley Road (State Route 49) and approximately 850 feet of Patterson Drive. Proposed improvements include the widening of the approaches to the intersection; the addition of turn pockets; installation of traffic signals, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks; grading and paving; drainage improvements; and minor landscaping.
The Project is subject to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). On June 30, 2009, the Board adopted the CEQA Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND).
Reason for Recommendation
Negotiations have concluded with the principals for the Tower Energy Group, a California Corporation, and a settlement has been reached that is representative of the appraised value of the necessary land rights and the estimates to relocate the improvements.
Action(s) to be taken following Board approval
1. The Clerk of the Board will obtain the Chair's signature on the Acquisition Agreement for Public Purposes and the Certificates of Acceptance for the Grant Deed and Grants of Easements, subject to County Counsel review and approval.
