DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

A request has been submitted by Will Sykes, owner of Assessor Parcel Number (APN) 102-432-036, requesting that the County of El Dorado, Board of Supervisors, vacate a public utility easement located on the subject property. Said easement is more particularly described in Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B of the attached Resolution.  This property is in the community of Rescue.

 

The public utility easement, as shown on Lot 42 and Lot 43 of The Highlands, Unit No. 4B, recorded at Book G of Subdivisions at Page 83, was offered to the County of El Dorado by Pokfulam Development Company Limited, on December 3, 1987. The easement was acknowledged and accepted by the County of El Dorado on December 22, 1987 and the Subdivision Map recorded on December 28, 1987.
