BACKGROUND:

The County is planning to construct safety improvements along Vasco Road which will include a concrete median barrier. Erica Stafford (Owner) currently has access to her property, Assessor’s Parcel No. 001-011-046 (Property) from Vasco Road through an easement across a neighboring parcel owned by Leo and Maria Master (Master’s Property).

The Owner has requested that access to Vasco Road be granted directly to the Property. Public Works staff has reviewed the Owner’s request and has determined that the proposed Grant of Access Rights would be beneficial to the Vasco Road Safety Improvements Project.

The Owner has entered into a Grant of Access Rights Agreement in which Owner agrees to quitclaim her existing rights over the Master’s Property if granted direct access to the Property.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Property Owners will not obtain new rights to access their property.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

Not applicable.
