BACKGROUND
A complete application to request vacation of a portion of Second Street in the Town of Brooks was submitted to the Yolo County Planning, Public Works and Environmental Services Department on October 8, 2015. The applicant is requesting that the County vacate the portion of this “paper” road (unconstructed road right-of-way) between Park Place and State Route 16, within the applicant’s property (Assessor’s Parcel Numbers 060-010-011 and 060-010-012).
See Attachment A for the Assessor’s Parcel Map depicting the location, which is approximately two miles north of the Cache Creek Casino. Attachment B shows an aerial view of the subject area. Per Book L of Supervisors’ Minutes, Page 365, Second Street was accepted by the County when the Tancred Subdivision Map was approved by the Board of Supervisors on August 12, 1911. County staff researched other maps filed with the County Recorder from that time period, and it appears that additional development was expected in the area of the Tancred Railroad Depot (immediately west of the subdivision). However, the railroad no longer exists in this area of Yolo County. Second Street has never been constructed as a public road, is not identified in the Circulation Element of the 2030 Countywide General Plan as part of the County’s roadway system, and is unnecessary for present or prospective public use.
The applicant’s neighbor immediately to the west has also expressed support for this road vacation request. While researching the request, staff noted that the twenty-foot-wide strips of land lying within the applicant’s property could also be construed as public easements, due to the vagueness of the language on the Tancred Map and County records from 1911. To eliminate future confusion and clear all possible public road interests from the applicant’s property, staff also recommends vacating the twenty-foot-wide strips on the applicant’s property. The California Streets and Highways Code Section 8334 allows the Board of Supervisors to summarily vacate “an excess right-of-way of a street or highway not required for street or highway purposes.” See Attachment C for the resolution to vacate this road segment, and the twenty-foot- wide strips intersecting the road segment. |
