BACKGROUND
A landscape maintenance easement located at 14309 Platt Court, Lot 38 of Tract Map No. 45934
(Exhibit A of attached resolution), was dedicated to the City of Santa Clarita (City) Landscape
Maintenance District (LMD) and recorded on December 18, 1996. The dedication of this
maintenance easement provides access for the City to maintain landscape improvements located
within LMD Zone T52 (Stonecrest).
The owner of the subject property wishes to construct backyard improvements on property
already owned in title, but is currently encumbered by the existence of the above referenced
LMD maintenance easement. The easement proposed for summary vacation encompasses
approximately 1,858 square feet of excess slope area that only benefits this specific parcel.
A resolution, accompanied by a legal description prepared by the property owner, identifies the
area proposed for vacation. The existing easement exclusively serves the LMD and supports no
additional public purpose. Upon Council approval, the City's LMD operation will cease having
any responsibility for maintaining this area. The property owner will be required to secure a
grading permit for the proposed improvements to their property and is financially responsible for
