Body

DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND

A request has been submitted by Trevor William Martin, as Trustee of the TWM Living Trust, U/A dated August 3, 2018, owners of Assessor's Parcel Number 110-252-001, requesting that the County of El Dorado, Board of Supervisors, vacate portions of public utility easements located on said property. Subject easements are more particularly described in Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B of the attached Resolution. Said property is within the community of El Dorado Hills, Supervisorial District 1. 

 

The public utility easements, as shown on Lot 323 of Waterford Unit No. 5, recorded in Book G of Subdivisions at Page 133, were offered to the County of El Dorado by Southfork Partnership, A General Partnership; Home Capital Corporation, A California Corporation, General Partner; Coker-Ewing Company, A General Partnership, General Partner; Coker Development, Inc., A California Corporation, General Partner; Ewing Development, Inc. A California Corporation, General Partner, on March 28, 1989.  The easements were acknowledged by the County of El Dorado on June 27, 1989, and the Subdivision Map was recorded on July 28, 1989.

 

ALTERNATIVES
An alternative would be to not adopt the Resolution of Vacation for Abandonment of Easement 21-0003. By utilizing this alternative, the owners of Assessor's Parcels 110-252-001 would be unable to pursue any development that would impact said portions of the subject easements.
