Susan Heffernan <cmIn.ridge@gmail.com> Manch 1914 Road Access defining "legal" parcels 1 message Susan Heffernan<crain.ridge@gmail.com> Tue, Oct 27, 2009 at 2:01 AM To: Kim Yamaguchi<KYamaguch4abuttecounty.net>, Bill Connelly<bconnelly@buttecounty.neth Mello Kim and Bill- My concern is the 74 ruling that determines a"legal"parcel MUST have access or easements to a state or County Road-size and zoning of the parcel Is not a factor. Only when Digital Path filed for a permit to improve their installation on my sister's land off Rim Road did this come up. When my grandmother transferred the bulk of her property to family members after placing the parcels in TPZ(Timber Preserve Zone) she was never made aware of this"access to state or County road"reululrement nor can I find any mention of it in her files, diaries or papers with Leonard and Lyde who did all her legal work. She was a detail person and she would have made sure we were given all info available. I spoke to Mark Michelena with Co. Planning-he has worked with Digital Path on this the past few months-he said the county doesn't have the manpower to go through and find all these noncompliant parcels and issue a statement to the ownerships. 1 Tear this will affect most of our parcels on "private"roads like Crain Ridge or on now Forest Service Roads like Rim Road(Years ago my grandmother did not wish to sell Rim Road so Forest Service condemed and took It-now they of course will not consider giving an easement to the State Hwy since that was one option the co. said could solve this new probleml). 1 asked Mark how I could run my family's AP# to find Quit their standing since this Is all a big surprise. He said there was not a list4t would take the$81.fee per parcel to fiend out. I am ballied that with all the years we have sold large pieces anditransfered the title to many parcels this has not come up before. I asked several other realtors who had handled the more recent sales of my family's and they now heard ofthis-1 asked the Moaks etc if in their holdings through the years4hey also unaware of this. I can only imagine county wide how big a nightmare this could be-especially when the old ownerships aren't aware of their parcels deemed illegal". I have an aunt who died in April ,the appraiserjust finished appraising her 120 acre(twmed#otal timber loss In last year of course)and he had never heard of this. Her piece is off a private logging road off of the Rim Road of the parcel declared"illegal"-I know hers will fall in the sane category and when it is sold for the good old death taxes her family will deal with that appraisal will be incomplete if it is missing thousands of dollars needed to buy easments to make if"legal-"this throws everything upside down...I am sure my family is one of thousands in the same situation. Now-what can I do? is them any chance in working on a solution by adding"private roads or FederaWSFS roads"to the verbage in the access code—and Is that a feasible way to go? In the end I would think the County would end up with less revenue and parcels without improvements and planning if this is not dealt with eventually. When land is handed down through the genera ions_and family members owned large junks there was not a need to wont'about all those parcels giving eachother easements. Now as our family has very little still in the family (and now most of it burned in the last 3 fines) I need to concentrate on protecting what is left-this came as a shock—and I kind of thought I was through the worst part of this.past year. Now 1 am not sure. Is there anything I can do to change that code that cripples a lot of us and And an easier way to have a list of what the.co. deems Ellegal"so many years past when it should have been made obvious either through the assessors office or tax collector ofTrce...where It doesn't only surface when a permit is applied for. Please let me know what you think I should do and what we could do to naive this countywide. I know Digital Path wants my sister to combine her two parcels to then be"legal"-that would solve their problem but not be in the best Interest of my sister to have one parcel at 320 acres rather than 2 that are smaller the way my grandmother planned it. I have to put my family first(t feel bad enough that all their land is now burned). Thank you Bill and Kim, Susie Holleman crain.ridge@gmaii.com http://mall.google com/n iall/?ul=28dk=... 1/2
