RECOMMENDATION(S):

1. ADOPT Resolution No. 2018/184 to initiate proceedings for reversion to acreage of the real property within Subdivision SD08-09215, San Ramon area. (District II)


2. AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to take all actions necessary to complete the reversion.

RECOMMENDATION(S): (CONT'D)

FISCAL IMPACT:

Staff costs associated with the reversion would be funded by available revenues from a cash security deposit and fees paid by the owners.

BACKGROUND:

On January 12, 2010, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2010/37, approving the final map and Subdivision Agreement for SD 08-09215, a three-lot subdivision located south of Ashbourne Drive in an unincorporated area near San Ramon, approximately one-third of a mile southeast of the intersection of Ashbourne Drive and Norris Canyon Road. The street address of the subdivision property is 2301 Norris Canyon Road. The subdividers and fee title owners of the the subdivision property are Randolph D. Lindsay and Roxanne W. Lindsay, Trustees of the 1996 Lindsay Living Trust under Declaration of Trust dated February 7, 1996 (“Owners”).

The Subdivision Agreement required the installation of road, drainage and other subdivision improvements within two years of execution (i.e., by January 12, 2012). That deadline was extended four times, ultimately to January 12, 2016. The Owners failed to install any of the improvements required under the Subdivision Agreement. In a June 9, 2017, letter to the Public Works Director, a copy of which is attached, the Owners advised that they were unable to complete the improvements because of their cost, and that they consented to the reversion to acreage of the subdivision property.

A reversion to acreage would merge the three parcels created by SD08-09215 back into one parcel. The process would be completed in accordance with Government Code section 66499.11 et seq. and Chapter 924-2 of the County Ordinance Code.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The reversion to acreage would not take place. Staff would evaluate other measures to address the Owners’ default under the Subdivision Agreement.
