RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Supervisors adopt a Resolution to:
a. Approve a Lot Line Adjustment between two existing legal lots of record under Williamson Act Contract (AGP 73-34A) consisting of the removal of 47.8 acres from an existing 322.8 acre parcel [Assessor's Parcel Numbers: 423-061-035-000, 423-061-036-000, 423-061-038-000, and portion of 423-071-006-000 (Parcel D)] and the addition of 47.8 acres to an existing 93.4 acre parcel [Assessor's Parcel Number: 423-071-006-000 (Parcel C)]. The lot line adjustment would result in two (2) parcels of 141.2 acres (Parcel C) and 275 acres (Parcel D);
b. Authorize the Chair to execute a new or amended Land Conservation Contract, in order to rescind a portion of the existing Land Conservation Contract as applicable to the reconfigured lots only and simultaneously execute a new or amended Land Conservation Contract for the reconfigured lots between the County and the Property Owners of Record, reflecting the new legal descriptions, current ownership interests, and to incorporate any legislative changes to State Williamson Act provisions and current County Agricultural Preserve Policies or Procedures; and
c. Direct the Clerk of the Board to record the new or amended Contract concurrently with the recordation of the Certificates of Compliance for the reconfigured Williamson Act parcels.
SUMMARY:
The proposed lot line adjustment entails the transfer of 47.8 acres from Parcel D (322.8 acres) to Parcel C (93.4 acres), resulting in one 141.2 acre parcel (Parcel C) and one 275 acre parcel (Parcel D). Both lands are zoned F/40 (Farmlands, 40 acres per unit) and RG/40 (Rural Grazing, 40 acres per unit). Both properties are under Williamson Act Agricultural Preserve per Land Conservation Contract No. 73-34A, owned by Floyd Lester Patterson III and Pamela Davis.
A lot line adjustment between two existing legal lots of record is being requested due to different ownership interest as a result of the death of the previous owner, Jessie Lee Patterson, and the subsequent distribution of her trust. The new lot line adjustment would return ownership lines to the location set forth in the distribution of trust.
