Board adopts resolution abandoning five‑foot public‑utility easement for Lake Comanche Village merger
Summary
The board approved a resolution to abandon a five‑foot public utility easement tied to a certificate of merger for lots in Lake Comanche Village; the surveyor said the easement was an outdated remnant from 1960s‑80s subdivision mapping.
At a public hearing the board adopted a resolution approving abandonment of a five‑foot public‑utility easement associated with a certificate of merger for Lots 284 and 249 in Lake Comanche Village (Subdivision Unit 1).
Roger Pitto, Amador County Surveyor, told the board the easement language dated to subdivision maps from the 1960s–1980s and that modern practice no longer places sideline and crossing easements around subdivision lots when service is provided from the front of the parcel. He recommended approval as the easement no longer served an identified purpose.
The public hearing drew no public opposition. The motion to close the hearing was made and seconded, and the board then moved to adopt the resolutions as presented in the packet. The board vote to adopt the resolution was unanimous: motion carries 5‑0.
Action details: the resolution pertains to Lots 284 and 249 of Lake Comanche Village Subdivision Unit 1, recorded in Book 3 of subdivision maps, page 8, assessor parcel numbers 03‑190‑009 and 03‑190‑014. The surveyor advised the board that custom easements remain used in certain cases but that these older standard easements have largely been removed from current practice.
Ending: The board adopted the resolution and thanked the surveyor for the presentation.
