extending the conservation area another 1,000 feet eastward along the creek. Orange County <br />is working with the Davis' to complete that easement project by July 2014. <br />Once that Davis easement is recorded, DEAPR would work with the Volpes to execute an <br />amendment to their conservation easement that would allow the transfer of real property. The <br />proposed land transfer would be accomplished by recording a recombination plat that would <br />modify the property boundaries and conservation easement boundaries accordingly. <br />DEAPR staff is confident that the amendment to the Volpe conservation easement, in <br />combination with the Davis conservation easement, would enhance the protection of <br />natural resources in this area. <br />DEAPR will work with the County Attorney to prepare the amendment to the Volpe conservation <br />easement and have the amendment recorded with the Orange County Register of Deeds <br />sometime before July 31, 2014. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: The amendment to the conservation easement is likely to incur some <br />transaction costs to be shared by both parties. The estimated cost to the County would be less <br />than $1,000, which would be paid from the Professional Services account within the DEAPR <br />Lands Legacy Fund. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends that the Board adopt the Resolution <br />approving the amendment to the conservation easement and authorize the Chair to sign the <br />Resolution. <br />
