Notice is hereby given that the Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission will hold a public hearing on the following:

File No. 2015-07: Reclamation District No. 2061 Dissolution (Kenwood/VSFCD)

The application was initiated by petition of the two owners of the real property within the District: the Vallejo Sanitation and Flood Control District and Kenwood-BPSC Hunt Club, LLC. The affected territory, consisting of 19 parcels totaling approximately 2,715 acres, is generally located on the north and south sides of Highway 37, commonly known as Tubbs Island, bounded by Tolay Creek, East Branch of Tolay Creek, Sonoma Creek and San Pablo Bay, in Sonoma County. The Reclamation District owns four, largely serpentine, parcels, consisting generally of levees and ditches, that run through and around the real property held by the other two owners. The reason for the proposal is to allow the owners of all real property within the District to assume responsibility for the parcels they own; by resolution of its board of directors, the District has been inactive since 1992. Environmental Determination: Exemption, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines.

At the hearing, the Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission will hear any relevant oral or written testimony and evidence presented or filed concerning the proposal. The Commission will consider the report of the Executive Officer and plan for providing services and may approve, amend, or deny the proposal. The Commission will consider the environmental effects of the proposal.

This Notice of Public Hearing is being sent to all owners of property within the affected territory and to all owners of property within 300 feet of the outside boundary, based on the most recent Sonoma County assessment roll.

Copies of all related documents are on file and may be reviewed at the Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission office. If you cannot attend the public hearing described in this notice, you may submit written comments prior to the hearing. Please direct comments, questions, and requests to review documents to the Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission, 575 Administration Drive, Room 104A, Santa Rosa, CA 95403.

All Interested persons are hereby invited to be present and heard on the matter described in this notice.

If you challenge the actions of the Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission on the environmental determinations and the proposal in court, you may be limited to raising only those issues raised at the public hearing described in this notice, or in written correspondence delivered to the Sonoma Local Agency Formation Commission at, or prior to, the hearing.
