SUMMARY:  In February 2005, the Board authorized the attached Deed Restriction Implementation Guidelines (Exhibit 1-A).  The guidelines allow modifications to the deed restriction templates used by the District to be implemented immediately with authorization from the General Manager and District Counsel.  Changes are then provided to the Rules and Regulations Committee quarterly, or as needed.  Deed restrictions are routinely used by the District for enforcement of rules and conditions and to notify current and future property owners of specific conditions, violations or restrictions on a property. 

 

Previously approved templates were recently reviewed by District Counsel to ensure consistency and provide clarification of uses.  In keeping with the Deed Restriction Implementation Guidelines (Exhibit 1-A), staff is providing the revised forms to the Rules and Regulations Committee (Exhibit 1-C).

 

RECOMMENDATION:  Staff recommends that the Committee approve the Deed Restriction Template revisions.

 

BACKGROUND:  Exhibit 1-B consists of a listing of the 39 deed restriction templates that the Board has approved for use by the District and Exhibit 1-C provides the current versions of four templates.  Templates 1.6 and 1.6.1 prohibit any use of California American Water (other than fire protection).  Templates 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 California American Water service is at the property, but the well will be utilized for separate purposes (i.e. swimming pools, guesthouses, caretaker units).
