LAKEPORT, Calif. – An updated draft of a plan begun more than two years ago to address the thousands of paper subdivision lots around the county will go to the Board of Supervisors for review this week.

The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 24, in the board chambers on the first floor of the Lake County Courthouse, 255 N. Forbes St., Lakeport.

The meeting can be watched live on Channel 8 with the video available online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents and the agenda also are available at that link.

At 9:10 a.m., Community Development Director Rick Coel and his staff will take to the council an updated version of the draft paper subdivision management plan he presented last November.

His report to the board explains that the plan has been developed to identify options for addressing the more than 10,000 unbuildable paper lots in the county. The lots were developed by land speculators in the early 20th century.

“At the November 18, 2014 meeting, the Board directed staff to investigate options for revenue to support parcel acquisition, as well as a pilot project to address the erosion activity on these parcels, carrying nutrients into Clear Lake,” Coel wrote. “A request to County Counsel staff was given to review the plan and make recommendations as to form.”

He said the updated draft incorporates staff and volunteer input “and requests Board direction as we finalize plans for its final approval through the public hearing process.”
 
Coel is asking the board to schedule a public hearing for 9:15 a.m. Tuesday, March 17, to consider adopting the final form of the plan.
 
In other business on Tuesday, the board will take up nontimed items including considering the appointment of Lakeport City Council Mayor Martin Scheel as a member of the Indian Gaming Local Community Benefit Committee, with Mayor Pro Tem Stacey Mattina as the alternate.

The board also will consider other advisory board appointments, including consideration of the application of Gladys Rosehill for the District 3 seat on the Lake County Planning Commission.
