Olive Orchard Estates: 47 units—approved in 2004
Approved Subdivision of 47 approx. 5-acre lots, located and accessed on Olive Orchard Road. #2003-157. In 2004 project approval was conditioned on off-site improvements to Olive Orchard Road and a left turn lane at the Hwy. 26 intersection. In 2007, in order to allow recordation of a final subdivision map, the developer posted a bond to guarantee the road improvements. Specified road improvements were not done. In 2012, the developer applied for a Modification to Existing Permit (MEP 2012-038) requesting removal of the required road and intersection improvements. As of August, 2015, 14 houses have been constructed.
On August 13, 2015, the Planning Commission approved the removal of the requirement for road improvements on a 3-2 vote. On August 27, local residents filed an Appeal of that decision to the Board of Supervisors. Click here for Olive Orchard Road MEP Appeal and Supplement. On September 22, with one supervisor absent, the Board of Supervisors voted 2-2-1 in favor of the Appeal. But because a majority vote is needed to pass a motion, the motion failed, and no action was taken. According to County Counsel, if the Board of Supervisors takes no action on an Appeal, the Planning Commission decision stands. The Appeal of the Planning Commission's decision was denied because no action was taken by the Board of Supervisors. Appeal hearing testimony and discussion may be watched on the Board of Supervisor September 22 Part 1 meeting video (Olive Orchard appeal hearing starts at 1 hr. 48 min. in; Board discussion and vote at 3 hrs. 9 min.).
