FUNDING: NA.
Resolution 064-2011
Body
Fiscal Impact/Change to Net County Cost:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this agenda item.
Background:
Public utilities easements, as shown on the Highland Village Units 1 and 2 final map recorded in Book G of Subdivision Maps at Page 18, were irrevocably offered in perpetuity to the County of El Dorado (County) in May of 1984 and accepted by the Board of Supervisors in September of 1984. Lots 42 and 43 of said map were later reconfigured by a parcel map which was filed for record with the County Recorder in November of 1995 in Book 45 of Parcel Maps at Page 79 that designated the two parcels as Parcels 1 and 2.
Reason for Recommendation:
An application has been submitted to the Department of Transportation (Department) by John D. Stone and LaDawn M. Stone, Trustees of the Stone Family Trust, requesting that the County vacate a 10-foot wide public utilities easement located along the previous boundary lines of Lot 42, now located on Parcel 1, and centrally through Parcel 2, also identified as Assessor's Parcel Numbers 126-200-26 and 126-200-27.
A T & T, Comcast, El Dorado Irrigation District, and Pacific Gas & Electric have not used said easement for the purpose for which it was dedicated or acquired and find no present or future need exists for said easement and do not object to its vacation. Department staff reviewed the request and determined that the public utilities easement has not been used for the purpose for which it was dedicated preceding the proposed vacation and has no objection. Said easement is more particularly described in Exhibit A and depicted on Exhibit B of the attached Resolution. This request is necessary to allow for additional development of the subject parcels. The subject properties are situated east of Silva Valley Parkway and south of Green Valley Road, in El Dorado Hills.
Action to be taken following Board approval:
1) The Board Clerk will obtain the Chair's signature on the Resolution.
2) The Board Clerk will record the Resolution and attached Exhibits.
3) The Board Clerk will return the recorded Resolution to the Department for further processing.
