Background:
Reason for Recommendation:
As a result of the Angora Fire which began on 6/24/07, an interagency coordinated rehabilitation effort is being planned for implementation prior to the start of the 2007/2008 winter season. The Transportation Department's (Department) role in this effort consists of designing and installing temporary flood protection measures including sand bag dams, hydromulch, and installing permanent erosion/flood control improvements that include culverts, rock-lined channels, rock bowls, grass-lined swales, sediment basins, and revegetation. Since some of these improvements/protection measures will be installed on private property, temporary construction and/or permanent easements will be required.
The areas to receive protection measures/improvements have been divided into four (4) zones. Zone A is bounded by National Forest Service land on the west, south, and north, and by Tahoe Mountain Road on the east. Zone B is bounded by National Forest land on the west and north, by Boulder Mountain Drive and Boulder Mountain Court on the easterly side, and by Angora Creek on the southerly side. Zone C includes the Angora 3B and a part of the Angora 3A Erosion Control Project area where the majority of the permanent improvements will be installed. Zone C is bounded by Mt. Meadow Drive to the east, National Forest land to the west, North Upper Truckee on the southerly side, and Lake Tahoe Boulevard on the northerly side. Zone D consists of the culvert area where Angora Creek crosses Lake Tahoe Boulevard. The attached Figures A through D are location maps depicting the respective Zones and the parcels listed below.
The following is a list of the private parcels for which easements will be required:

The temporary construction easements will expire on November 1, 2007 except as noted above. Parcels on which revegetation will be performed will require a 3-year temporary construction easement to allow for a 2-year irrigation period. Since runoff conditions under burn conditions are unpredictable, the temporary construction easement documents will include language that limits the County's liablility.
The attached Figures A-1 through A-9 for Zone A, Figures B-1 through B-6 for Zone B, and Figures C-1 through C-3 for Zone C show the parcels and the respective owner's names and shows the approximate locations of the easements.
A categorical exclusion which requires no Board action was filed for Zones A and B. An Addendum to the Negative Declaration for Zones C and D will be heard under a separate agenda item at the August 28, 2007 Board meeting. This requested Board authorization is necessary to fulfill legal requirements should the acquisition process result in the need to use the eminent domain process on any of the subject parcels. However, time constraints and funding provisions preclude the use of eminent domain.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
Upon authorization of the recommended action, Department staff will contact the respective property owners to discuss the Project needs and begin negotiations to secure the necessary easements.
