Mendocino County Subdivision Committee approves Scott Meyer boundary adjustment, requires septic locations on final map

The Mendocino County Subdivision Committee on June 11 approved a boundary line adjustment for property owned by Scott Meyer, with a condition that septic system locations be added to the final map.

Planning and Building Services staff introduced Case B2026-0014, a request to reduce Lot 1 by 10.16 acres and increase Lot 2 to 46.58 acres for parcels listed at 13677, 13679 and 13685 Powerhouse Road, about 1.76 miles north of Potter Valley. Derek Carlson of Planning and Building Services said the parcels are zoned AG-40 and that the request would not increase an existing nonconformity and that planning had no concerns: “planning and building doesn’t have any concerns with this boundary line adjustment.”

Environmental Health raised a procedural concern. Sarah Thompson, Environmental Health, said the septic systems were not shown on the map and asked that showing septic locations be added as a special condition before the map is finalized: “the septic systems weren’t on the map.” The committee added that requirement to its approval.

After discussion, a committee member moved to approve the boundary line adjustment with the septic-location condition; another committee member seconded. The motion carried with 'aye' votes recorded. The record does not name the motion mover or seconder.

Case B2026-0014 was described in the hearing as inside the AG-40 zone near Potter Valley; specific technical approvals such as septic feasibility or permits will follow the map finalization and are subject to separate Environmental Health review.

The committee proceeded to the next agenda item after the approval.
