Mendocino County subdivision committee approves one inland lot reconfiguration and recommends three coastal boundary-line adjustments to Coastal Permit Admin
Summary
The Mendocino County Subdivision Committee voted to approve an inland boundary-line adjustment and recommended approval of three coastal boundary-line adjustments to the Coastal Permit Administrator, with one item subject to a continuance and another requiring a certificate of compliance before recording.
The Mendocino County Subdivision Committee on May (date not specified) recommended approval of three coastal boundary-line adjustments and approved one inland adjustment after brief staff presentations and limited discussion.
The committee recommended that the Coastal Permit Administrator (CPA) review and act on three coastal cases: B20240006, B20240020 and B20240027. The committee approved an inland boundary-line adjustment, case B20240024, subject to a special condition that a required certificate of compliance (CC2403) be completed prior to recording.
“The subdivision committee is a recommending body for coastal boundary land adjustments,” staff planner Russ said, noting that final approval for coastal cases rests with the Coastal Permit Administrator. For the inland case, committee members were told the committee itself has approval authority.
Case B20240006 (owners: Albert Buddy and Mary Anne Burdick; Ryan Yuri) would transfer 0.03 acres between two lots, leaving Lot 1 at 2.04 acres and Lot 2 at 1.08 acres. Committee member Melissa Hammes moved to recommend approval to the Coastal Permit Administrator; the motion carried on voice vote and the committee recorded affirmative responses from Hammes and Alex Sequeira. Staff said they intend to request a continuance at the CPA hearing; if granted, the item could be moved to the committee’s June meeting.
Case B20240020 (owners: Lynn Kathleen Denley Bessard; John Pascal Barrel; Christa Marie Dagley) proposes a reconfiguration in the coastal zone on the west side of Fish Rock Road near State Route 1, changing Lot 1 from about 0.9 acres to about 1 acre and Lot 2 from about 3.8 acres to about 3.7 acres. A staff correction memo was submitted noting that lot numbers in the initial finding had been transposed. Melissa Hammes moved to recommend approval to the Coastal Permit Administrator with the conditions listed in the staff report; Alex Sequeira seconded. The committee recorded affirmative responses and recommended approval.
Case B20240024 (owner: Margaret Watson) was an inland boundary-line adjustment that would decrease Lot 1 to about 69 acres and increase Lot 2 to about 45 acres, on Navarro Ridge Road southeast of Albion. Committee members discussed map display inconsistencies between the paper and online maps; an updated assessor parcel map was cited. The committee approved the adjustment with a special condition requiring completion of Certificate of Compliance CC2403 before recording and finalizing the boundary-line adjustment.
Case B20240027 (owners: Sayun and Camlin Michelle Sayun) requested a coastal development boundary-line adjustment to merge two Manchester-area lots (0.34 and 0.28 acres) into a single parcel of roughly 0.6 acre. Jamie, the staff planner on the item, had no additional comments; Melissa Hammes moved to recommend approval to the Coastal Permit Administrator, and the committee recorded affirmative responses.
Committee chair Dirk Larson and staff reminded participants that the Coastal Permit Administrator was expected to hear coastal items later the same day at 11 a.m. and that continuances to the June meeting could occur if requested and granted. Several items had minor administrative corrections or map updates noted by staff; the committee’s votes reflected the committee’s technical review and recommendations rather than final coastal permits.
