LAKEPORT – When it meets this Tuesday the Board of Supervisors will consider returning a piece of property given to the county several years ago for a college and discuss an appeal of a notice of violation for longterm RV rentals.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday, June 22, in the Board of Supervisors chambers at the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport. TV8 will broadcast the meeting live.
At 10:30 a.m. the board will consider a proposed resolution that will rescind a property donation by Malulani Investments Ltd. – formerly Magoon Estate Limited – and cancel an associated water agreement.
Magoon Estate gave 1,040 acres to the county in March 1998 to be the site of the proposed Guenoc Valley College. County officials have reported that the property donation had the limitation that the college project was the only use for the land.
However, an additional 200 acres that Magoon had promised to donate for the project – which had an area that was buildable – was never given to the county, which led County Administrative Officer Kelly Cox to go to the board in June of 2009 to begin considering what to do with the land.
The proposed resolution going before the board Tuesday grew out of a vote it took at its June 2, 2009, during which the board unanimously voted to direct county staff to pursue options of returning the land and recovering back property tax.
In other planned board action for Tuesday, at 9:15 a.m., the board will hear an appeal by Houser Holdings CA LLC (U Wanna Camp) of the Planning Commission’s denial of an administrative appeal for a notice of violation issued last September regarding long-term occupancy of RV spaces on a site – located at 2699 Scotts Creek Road in Lakeport – that has an expired permit.
A second appeal hearing, originally scheduled for 1:30 p.m. for El Dorado Motel owner Veronica Fisher's appeal of a similar violation – issued last September for the conversion of a motel to a combination permanent living establishment along with transient occupancy facilities – is expected to be continued to July 20 at the request of Fisher, who owns the motel, located at 3955 Lakeshore Blvd., Lakeport.
On the consent agenda the board is expected to approve a marijuana eradication agreement between the county of Lake and Drug Enforcement Administration of the United States Department of Justice.
The agreement calls for the DEA to pay Lake County $250,000 to defray the cost relating to the eradication and suppression of illicit marijuana.
The board also will hold a closed session to discuss labor and property negotiations.
