Board authorizes minor amendment to Altamont grant for Sweet Bridal Ranch conservation easement
Summary
The board approved a minor amendment reducing the conservation easement area by about 7.4 acres and the grant amount by $27,555 for the Sweet Bridal Ranch conservation easement; staff said the change does not affect conservation purpose or public benefit.
The Board of Supervisors authorized the Community Development Agency director to amend a previously approved $790,468 grant to the California Rangeland Trust for a conservation easement on the Sweet Bridal Ranch property. Staff explained the landowner requested a minor amendment to exclude residential areas (reducing the easement by approximately 7.4 acres) and proportionally reduce the grant by $27,555. The Open Space Advisory Committee reviewed and approved the change and staff said the conservation purpose, public benefit and willing-seller status remain intact.
The board approved the amendment by voice vote with no public speakers.
Next steps: County counsel review and execution of the amended agreement, and filing with the clerk of the board.
