Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
Surveyor's Office recommending the Board adopt a Resolution of Vacation for Abandonment of Easement (AOE) 18-011 to abandon Public Utility Easements on a portion of Lots 156, 157 and 158 of "The Summit Unit No. 2", recorded at Book H of Subdivisions at Page 26, identified as Assessor's Parcel Number (APN) 110-312-31.
A request has been submitted by W. Roberts Pedrick and Melanie Pedrick, owners of APN 110-312-31, requesting that the County of El Dorado, Board of Supervisors, vacate a portion of the Public Utility Easements (PUEs) located on the subject property. Said easements are more particularly described in Exhibit A, and depicted on Exhibit B of the attached Resolution.
The Public Utility Easements, as shown on of Lots 156, 157 and 158 of "The Summit Unit No. 2", recorded at Book H of Subdivisions at Page 26 were offered to the County of El Dorado by, Southfork Partnership, a General Partnership, on April 11, 1990. The easements were acknowledged and accepted by the County of El Dorado on June 5, 1990 and the Subdivision Map recorded on July 9, 1990.
On June 16, 1997, a Parcel Map was recorded in Book 46 of Parcel Maps at Page 44, in the County of El Dorado, Recorder's Office; adjusting the boundaries of said mentioned Lots 156, 157 and 158 and resulting in three new parcels. However, at the time the Parcel Map was recorded, the PUEs along the shared boundaries of the original Lots 156, 157 and 158 were not abandoned resulting in an encumbrance on the three new parcels that did not follow the adjusted boundary lines.
ALTERNATIVES
An alternative would be to not adopt a Resolution of Vacation for Abandonment of Easement 18-011. By utilizing this alternative, the owner of Assessor's Parcel 110-312-31, would be unable to purse any development that would impact this easement.
OTHER DEPARTMENT / AGENCY INVOLVEMENT
AT&T, Comcast, El Dorado Irrigation District and Pacific Gas & Electric have not used said easements for the purpose for which they were dedicated and find no present or future need exists for subject easements and do not object to their vacation, and to that end, have all issued letters to that effect.
