Mrs c:holland.ex April 24, 1990 t. CONTRA COSTA COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT Date: April 15, 1993 STAFF REPORT TO: Board of Supervisors FROM: J. Michael Walford, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Vacation of portions of Holland Tract Road Vacation No. V1809 Area: Bethel Island Hearing at 11:00 a.m., May 4, 1993 I. INTRODUCTION The County proposes to vacate portions of Holland Tract Road. California Environmental Quality Act requirements for this proposal have been satisfied by a Categorical Exemption class 5C. The East County Regional Planning Commission on February 1, 1993, found this project to be in conformance with the existing General Plan. II. REASON FOR REQUEST In October 1990, the Board of Supervisors authorized a temporary closure of the eastern and western segments of Holland Tract Road due to prior storm damage. This closure is still in effect. Holland Tract Road is located on top of an existing levee which protects Holland Tract from delta waters and flooding. The levee is presently maintained by Reclamation District 2025. To avoid flooding of Holland Tract, the Reclamation District needs to raise the elevation of the levee but only has the funds to reconstruct it to private road standard rather than public road standards. If the proposed vacation occurs, the existing lock gates would remain and the vacated road segments would continue to be accessible to the private property owners and to the Reclamation District to provide routine maintenance. III. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the subject street segments be ordered vacated. RB:glo c:V16HTRdA4
