Supervisors to consider grassland trails expansion and eminent domain for San Vicente Road project

“San Diego County Board of Supervisors will consider eminent domain for two parcels sought for the San Vicente Road Improvement Project at its Aug. 7 meeting.

The parcels would cost the county $18,800, which represents their appraised value, according to the meeting agenda.

Construction of the San Vicente Road improvements require acquisition of property rights from 31 privately-owned properties within the project area, which covers about 2.25 miles from Warnock Drive to just east of Wildcat Canyon Road. The required property interests include road, slope/drainage, and temporary construction easements, which are partial acquisitions consisting of strips of property along the existing road and driveways, said the county. The project does not require any full takes or impacts any buildings. To date, 29 of the 31 property owners have signed real property contracts agreeing to sell the required interests with all contracts costing less than $150,000 each, according to the county.”
