LAKEPORT, Calif. – This week the Board of Supervisors will discuss accepting a resolution related to the rebuilding effort in Anderson Springs, and consider a property donation to the city of Clearlake and an appeal of a large kennel project in Lower Lake.

The board will meet beginning at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22, 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 and online at http://www.co.lake.ca.us/Government/Boards/Board_of_Supervisors/calendar.htm . Accompanying board documents, the agenda and archived board meeting videos also are available at that link.

In an untimed item, the board will discuss a proposal from Community Development Director Robert Massarelli to adopt a resolution pertaining to the rebuilding of Anderson Springs, where more than 180 structures on 130 parcels were destroyed or damaged in September 2015 by the Valley fire.

In his memo to the board, Massarelli explained, “There are numerous issues facing the rebuilding of Anderson Springs. The issues are so complex each lot is different and there is no one right answer. Over the past few months, the staff has been trying to address each subject and develop a comprehensive approach. Based on our efforts, the staff has developed a comprehensive policy statement to give guidance on how to proceed.”

Key issues include those related to nonconforming lots and setbacks – particularly from the creek.

The policy Massarelli is proposing “includes a proposal where the County would work with the property owners to prepare a comprehensive and cohesive waterway setback plan. This would include working with the California Department of Fish and Wildlife to establish their jurisdiction, a setback line and the required mitigation, and the preparation of an initial study,” he said.

Also on Tuesday, in another untimed item, the board will consider donating a county-owned property to the city of Clearlake, at the city's request, for its Safe Routes to School pedestrian improvement project at Phillips and 18th avenues. Staff is recommending the board approve the item.

In other business, in an item timed for 9:30 a.m., the board will consider an appeal of the Lake County Planning Commission's approval of a mitigated negative declaration and major use permit to allow a large animal kennel at 11767 Candy Lane in Lower Lake.

The full agenda follows.
