DEPARTMENTAL RECOMMENDATION:
The Department of Resource Management recommends that the Board adopt a resolution accepting the dedication of 0.77 acres of right of way easement for public roadway and public utility purposes on Gordon Valley Road for Minor Subdivision MS-15-03 (Alta Trust).
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
Minor Subdivision MS-15-03 creates two parcels (of 33.25 acres and 21.08 acres). The parcels front on Gordon Valley Road Northwest of the City of Fairfield in unincorporated Solano County (see Attachment A - Map).
Minor Subdivision MS-15-03 was approved by the Board of Supervisors on January 10, 2017. The conditions of approval for Minor Subdivision MS-15-03 require the developer to dedicate for road purposes a 35 foot half width for Gordon Valley Road along the easterly frontage of the property, only 5 feet of which is beyond the existing 30 foot road right-of-way. This dedication of 0.77 acres of additional right-of-way is in accordance with Chapter 26 of the Solano County Code. Adoption of the resolution (Attachment B - Resolution) will result in the dedication being recorded with the filing of the Parcel Map.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Road Fund pays the cost of maintaining Gordon Valley Road. There is no impact to the General Fund. This additional road dedication does not increase total road miles maintained but increases available land for road width to meet Board adopted County Road Standards.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Board of Supervisors may choose not to accept the offer of dedication and purchase the property in the future if needed for road purposes. This is not recommended, since dedications for road purposes are a requirement of County policies...
