Yreka council approves lot‑line adjustment to enable construction of new water tank
Summary
The council adopted Resolution 2025‑37 approving a lot‑line adjustment and temporary property transfer tied to a water‑supply project; the transaction includes easements and a $9,100 payment to the property owner, Robert Wolf.
The Yreka City Council adopted Resolution 2025‑37 on Oct. 7, approving a lot‑line adjustment and authorizing acceptance of property from Robert Wolf to enable construction of a water‑supply and storage improvement project.
In a staff presentation, the assistant city manager said the city must expand temporarily onto adjacent property to build a new water storage tank while keeping the existing tank online. City staff described a complex boundary‑line adjustment and easements that would allow the city to construct the new tank, then return a smaller parcel to Mr. Wolf after decommissioning and removal of the old tank. "We will be expanding our property to take over some of his property during the construction... and then at the end of the project... we will then be moving the lot to make it smaller... and then we will be giving that other piece of property to Mister Wolf as part of the transaction that occurs here, in addition to, $9,100," staff said.
Council member Middleton moved to adopt Resolution 2025‑37; the motion was seconded and passed with Council member Baker abstaining and Council member Davis absent. Staff said detailed surveying and easement documentation are complete and would be recorded after approval.
What happens next: staff will execute the boundary adjustment, record easements and proceed with project engineering so construction can move forward under the project's grant terms with the State Department of Water Resources.
