following 2 parcels: APN 056-140-046 (my primary residence) & APN 056-140-046
(owned investment home). The proposal is to move the shared boundary 312 ft
longitudinally westward changing the parcel acreage sizes of the properties to:
APN 056-140-046 = 3.21 acres & APN 056-140-046 = 3.21 acres
This proposed change will ensure that my primary residence has improved health
and safety conditions surrounding the residential structure, such as a greater area of
defensible fire clearance space. The Park Fire wildfire event has created a new
revelation of concerns for the safety and welfare of our family home. The July 2024
Park Fire burned to within 40ft of our home on 3 sides of the property, the east, west
and south facing sides. We had purchased the property, APN 056-140-046, when it
became for sale in 2022 because we were concerned that new owners may not be as
cooperative with allowing us to limb up tree branches, mow down grass, and remove
brush. Cal-Fire defensible space guidance is 100ft minimum, this western boundary
of our primary residence is only 20ft from the house. The western boundary is also a
downhill slope from our house and therefore the Cal-Fire guidance is to maintain a
defensible space perimeter of 100-200ft. We had intended to keep the property next
door as an investment rental residence, but have had to reevaluate the financial
health of such investment with consideration to rising fire insurance costs being
even higher due to this property being a rental residence located in a high scoring fire
risk zone.
The proposal is to adjust the shared property boundary in such a way that both
parcels are of equal size, and have a large area of owned land surrounding the
residential dwellings to maintain a healthy and safe defensible space. We are
applying for this change, so that after the line adjustment is recorded, we may list
the parcel APN 056-140-046 for sale.
