ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: December 15, 2009 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ~_ <br />SUBJECT: Approval of Boundary Line Agreement for Seven Mile Creek Preserve <br />DEPARTMENT: Environment and Resource PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) No <br />Conservation <br />ATTACHMENTS INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />1) Site Map David Stancil, 245-2510 <br />2) Boundary Agreement (Draft) Rich Shaw, 245-2510 <br />PURPOSE: To resolve boundary overlaps and gaps among property owned by the Friends <br />of Moorefields, the Crutchfield heirs and Orange County by a boundary agreement. <br />BACKGROUND: In October 2009 the Board authorized a survey of property for the <br />County's acquisition of land from the Friends of Moorefields for the Seven Mile Creek <br />Preserve. A preliminary survey of the property revealed some boundary gaps and overlaps <br />for a portion of the County's existing property acquired in the 1970s and for the property to <br />be acquired. <br />ERCD is working with attorneys handling the transaction between the County and the Friends <br />of Moorefields and the adjacent landowners to resolve the boundary issues with a boundary <br />line agreement to be signed by all parties. The adjacent landowners have expressed their <br />willingness to sign such an agreement. A draft boundary agreement is attached. <br />The signed agreement would be recorded with the Register of Deeds. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There will be no change in the price the County will pay for the <br />purchase of the property from the Friends of Moorefields. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board approve the boundary <br />agreement ,authorize the Chair to sign the boundary agreement on behalf of the County, <br />and authorize the agreement to be recorded contemporaneously with the recording of the <br />documents to be recorded as part of the County's purchase of the Moorefields property. <br />
