Summary of Request

The Angelo Coast Range Reserve is requesting the County to vacate the County right-of-way for Wilderness Lodge Road (County Road 320) where it passes through their property. The section of road to be vacated rests entirely within a parcel owned by Angelo Coast Range Reserve and will not change access to any property not owned by the reserve. There is a gate on the Angelo reserve where the County road ends, and that gate will be moved to the new end of the County road, at the edge of the Angelo Coast Range Reserve.

 

Alternative Action/Motion:

Postpone the public hearing and decline to vacate the road and provide direction to staff.
