July 12, 1994 SUBJECT: SUMMARY VACATION OF HOLT CANYON ROAD Resolution No. 94-73 DEPARTMENT: Community Development BACKGROUND This item was originally discussed during the June 28 Council meeting, Councilmembers requested additional information regarding access for bordering parcels. The item was continued to this date for further discussion. City staff originally received a request for the vacation of dedication for street purposes from property owners, Clifford G. Snyder and Joan Carol Snyder. The portions that are being considered have been unused and impassable for more than five years. The request, therefore, qualifies to be considered without a public hearing as a summary vacation. Holt Canyon Road was originally dedicated in conjunction with a Grant of Waiver and Certificate of Compliance for Parcel Map No. 7686. The waiver was recorded in the official records of the Los Angeles County Recorders office on April 12, 1984. Certain slope easements were recorded concurrently. The vacation of the private street dedication would add one acre to the usable area of the 5.5 -acre parcel in an area with two -acre minimum lot sizes. The Unified Development Code created the special standard district of Sand Canyon, which removed the requirement for construction of paved streets on new development in the area. The Holt Canyon dedication is opposite Live Oak Springs Canyon Road in Sand Canyon. The present location of the dedication for Holt Canyon Road has numerous large oak trees present, as well as a swimming pool and an accessory building. The area has been unused since the time of dedication and would require a bridge over the Sand Canyon wash in order to connect to any future construction of Holt Canyon in the unincorporated portion of the County. The vacation of the Holt Canyon dedication would create no physical or financial changes. Adopted: ,7-/a - g Av" - RESOLUTION NO. 94-73 July 12, 1994 - Page 2 RECOMMENDATIONS Receive public testimony on the subject. If the Council believes, based upon this testimony, that there will be no future need for the right-of-way, it should be vacated per this resolution. If the Council sees a potential for the construction of a road upon future development, the request should be denied.
