LAKEPORT, Calif. – The Board of Supervisors this week will hold a public hearing on a management plan for the county's thousands of paper subdivision lots and honor county employees for their service.

The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, March 17, 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 9:15 a.m., the board will hold the public hearing for the proposed final draft of the Paper Subdivision Management Plan.

County staffers have developed the plan to deal with an estimated 10,000 paper subdivision lots – most of them on the Northshore – that have been the source of ongoing problems for nearly a century.

Developed by land speculators beginning in the early 20th century, the mostly unbuildable lots have been used for illegal dumping, off-road vehicles – leading to erosion – and marijuana grows.

The plan seeks to address those matter, with options including having the county acquire the lots through tax sales or donations.

In other business on Tuesday, at 9:25 a.m., the board will present the annual Employee Service Awards.

In an untimed item, the board will consider continuing the proclamation of emergency declaration for drought conditions and the proclamation of emergency declaration for 2014 Statewide December Winter Storms, and adopting a resolution designating applicant’s agent for California Disaster Assistance Act funding.

The full agenda follows.
