Subject: Sunset Drive (Peach Hill Development Co.)
File No: 736- 23- 54- 79CC -79S
Dear Mr. Toppel:
Your April 212 1983 letter has been reviewed and our comments
are as follows:
REQUEST
You requested that we send you a letter with a clear statement
that the entire length of Sunset Drive is a public road and that it
was the intention of the County to accept all of Sunset Drive as
• offered for dedication on the original subdivision map (Book P,
Page 34 -35).
RESPONSE
To clarify our response we will list page and paragraph number
of your April 21, 1983 letter followed by our comments:
Page 1, Paragraph 1 and 2
No comments.
Page 1, Paragraph 3
Our February 23, 1983 letter to Mr. Jack N. Christenson
was in response to a request by Mr. Christensen per his February 14,
1983 letter. The following extract from Mr. Christenson's February 14
1983 letter will clarify the request; ,
"Indicate the extent of the county maintained portion and
the portion dedicated to the public by recorded maps."
Response per Question 2 of our February 23, 1983 clarified
that extent of the county maintained portion of Sunset Drive is
0.12 miles + west from Glen Una Drive. Also, we clarified that based
upon the in -formation on the subdivision map, Sunset Drive is dedicated
• to public use.
It should be noted that the question raised by the Engineer
® was regarding extent of county maintained portion and dedication to

public use of Sunset Drive and not regarding the length of Sunset
Drive accepted by Board or Supervisors. Therefore, our February 23,
1983 letter should not be interpreted to conclude that the entire
length of Sunset Dr vi has been accepted by the County as a public`
road. The County is maintaining 0.12 miles + length of Sunset Drive
which was the length accepted by the Board 07 Supervisors per
November 5, 1962 Resolution (Book 5787 Page 195).

The standard format for the resolution used in 1962
included the information such as Road number, Name, Length, Width,
from and to for the road proposed to be accepted into the System
In this case, from Glen Una to end means 648.75 feet from the
westerly right -of -way line of Glen Una Drive.
At the time Board of Supervisors accepted 648.75 feet •
of Sunset Drive into the County Roadway System per November 5, 1962
Resolution, it is our understanding that there was no road built to
County Standard beyond 648.75 feet because of the existing creek
across the road.
Page 2, Paragraph 3
From the above clarification, it is apparent that although
the entire length of Sunset Drive was offered for dedication for
public use (according to the Owner's Certificate on "Glen
Map No. 1) the Board of Supervisors accepted a length of648.75anch
feet along Sunset Drive. As already stated above, the County
maintains only that portion of the roadway that was accepted by
the Board of Supervisors into the County roadway system.
We hope above comments clarif� the difference between "an offer
of dedication for public use" and 'the acceptance of the said offer
by the Board of Supervisors Resolution."
