Background:
On August 15, 2006, Agenda Item #71, the Board of Supervisors directed the Department of Transportation to process an abandonment, pursuant to Streets and Highways Code Section 8320(a)1 et seq., of the County Road known as Old River Road through APN's 006-231-13, 26, -27, and -28.  The vacation is pursuant of the provisions of the Streets and Highways Code Section 8320 et seq., Chapter 3 of Part 3, Division 9 (General Vacation Procedures).  
 
On June 5, 2007 your Board adopted Resolution 115-2007 entitled "Resolution of Intention to Vacate a Portion of Old River Road Coloma Townsite".  It set a public hearing date for June 26, 2007 at 9:00 AM in the Board Chambers to receive public testimony in order to make the findings required under Section 8324 of the Streets and Highways Code.  
 
Reason for Recommendation:
An error was created when a subdivision map was recorded on June 13, 1949 Map of Coloma Heights Resubdivision of Portions of Lots 2,5,6,7,8,10, & 11 Block 13 Coloma Townsite recorded in Book A of Maps, Page 89.  New River Road was created and accepted by the County to provided access to said lots.  Old River Road was superceded by the acceptance of New River Road and should have been vacated.  Old River Road is not being used as a street or highway, no monies have been spent on said road, and it is not necessary for access to parcels APN's 006-231-13, -26, -27, and -28.
 
The Planning Commission conducted a Finding of Consistency hearing on December 14, 2006 to review the proposed vacation and voted unanimously that the proposed vacation is consistent with the General Plan as per Government Code Section 65402(a) (findings attached).
 
All  utility companies that may possibly be impacted by this vacation have provided written notification that they have no objection to the proposed vacation; however, AT&T has requested that a public utilities easement be reserved as per Streets and Highways Code Section 8340(a) (request attached). A reservation of such an easement if included in the proposed Resolution.
 
Legal notice of the proposed vacation has been given as directed by the previous Board action of June 5, 2007.
 
The Department of Transportation has reviewed the proposed vacation and has no objections to vacate the road known as Old River Road.
 
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1.      Board of Supervisors to adopt the Resolution to Vacate.
 
2.      Clerk of the Board shall record the Resolution to Vacate.
 
3.      Department of Transportation shall mail a copy of the Resolution to all affected property owners and interested parties.
