SUMMARY:
On May 16, 2006, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution for the amendment to the Conservation and Scenic Easement Deed and Final Map Dedication for lots 71, 72, and 73 in Canada Woods North, Phase II (PLN030068, Resolution No. 06-206).  Upon review of the approved resolution, the resolution references the wrong subdivision and wrong map (Phase IV, Monterra Ranch Subdivision). Also, staff found that the adopted amendment to the Conservation and Scenic Easement Deed and Final Map Dedication was never recorded. Through the recommended actions, the resolution will clearly reflect the correct subdivision and map.
 
DISCUSSION:
On September 8, 2005, a Lot Line Adjustment was approved by the Minor Subdivision Committee which allowed the reconfigurations to lots 71, 72, and 73 within the Canada Woods North, Phase II Subdivision (Assessor's Parcel Numbers 259-092-057-000; 259-092-058-000; 259-092-059-000). The reconfiguration modifies building envelopes, scenic easements, public utility easements, and roadways previously approved in the Canada Woods Final Map. The lot line adjustment was approved with conditions which required a Record of Survey to be filed (Condition No. 4) and that the Board of Supervisors adopt an amendment to the scenic easement deed, road easement deed, and building envelopes (Condition No. 2). On May 16, 2006, the Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution No. 06-206 for the amendment to the Conservation and Scenic Easement Deed and Final map Dedication to satisfy Condition No. 2.  
 
Currently, the subject lots are held in escrow due to Resolution No. 06-206 referencing the wrong subdivision and map (Phase IV, Monterra Ranch Subdivision). Also, the amended Conservation and Scenic Easement Deed and Final Map Dedication were never recorded. Through the recommended actions, the resolution will clearly reflect the correct subdivision and map.
