Hey there!  OK, in the two last posts we took a look at a fairly well prepared LDPCSD Annexation request that LAFCo “conditionally approved” and designated the Lake Don Pedro CSD as the “conducting authority” to proceed with the annexation

“AFTER

proper notice and hearing subject to the following condition of approval:  The Lake Don PEdro Community Services District shall provide water service to all future development within the annexation territory.”

Apparently the terms and conditions of that approval were somehow changed to what was actually produced and presented to the public:

“WHEREAS,  the Local Agency Formation Commission has authorized this Board to approve this annexation without notice and hearing and without an election.”

When I fist discovered this statement of how LAFCO permitted the LDPCSD to conduct annexations without notice or hearing –

(so that the MR WECs of the Lake Don Pedro subdivision – who pay the bills WOULD BE UNAWARE of this major property addition into the district that was outside the legal PLACE OF USE for MERCED RIVER WATER under WL11395 and thus would require an expensive groundwater substitution program for the approved project as well as FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN A LARGER TERRITORY),

PLANNING/LAFCO officials appeared confused about the statement indicating such would not be approved by LAFCO.  (This is similar to the map posted on the LDPCSD website which KAMPA states was produced by LAFCO, but it also was not according to the LAFCO Executive Officer.)

 

I have an idea (scary huh?)  I’m going to try to create a page with some of the important LAFCO – LDPCSD ANNEXATION RESOLUTIONS posted so you viewers can compare them side by side.  Perhaps we’ll be able to update this page as new annexation resolution information is made available at the county site.

OK, if this works, when you select the below link it should open a page with a bunch of RESOLUTION LINKS from both MARIPOSA COUNTY LAFCO and the LDPCSD.   Now for the FINAL SOI REPORT for the LDPCSD in 1987, it is a PDF file (first page displayed) and viewers can move through the document by using options located at the bottom left hand corner of the page.

Cross your fingers!……

(every time I try something like this ….well, I just hope it works.)
