Requested Action:
Recommendation
It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners approve and authorize the Chair to execute a License Agreement that allows Mr. Carl Wasileski to access his property through the EEL Program managed Fox Lake Sanctuary.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
Mr. Wasileski owns property that is adjacent to lands managed under the Environmentally Endangered Lands Program known as the Fox Lake Sanctuary. The Fox Lake Sanctuary is adjacent to Fox Lake Park. Mr. Wasileski does not have legal access to his property and the License Agreement provides a mechanism for him to access his property through the Fox Lake Sanctuary via an existing fire line and trail.
This access currently provides the only physical access to Mr. Wasileski's property. The License Agreement, in addition to providing access for Mr. Wasileski, also ensures that the access is not detrimental to the ecological health of the sanctuary or restrictive to management operations. This access does not conflict with the proposed Management Plan for this site.
The License Agreement does not provide the legal access easement that would be required if Mr. Wasileski wanted to obtain a building permit for his property. The License Agreement does not prevent Mr. Wasileski from pursuing a formal ingress / egress easement from the County in the future.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please return Board Memo and executed License Agreement to the EEL Program.
