RESOLUTION NO. 2017-02

A RESOLUTION OF THE BEAUMONT BASIN WATERMASTER APPROVING THE
TRANSFER OF OVERLYING WATER RIGHTS TO SPECIFIC PARCELS

WHEREAS, the Stipulated Judgment establishing the Beaumont Basin Watermaster
(Riverside Superior Court Case No. 389197) was filed with the Superior Count of California,
County of Riverside on February 4, 2004; and

WHEREAS, Oak Valley Partners, L.P. (“OVP”) has certain water rights which were
assigned to its property as described in the Beaumont Basin Adjudication (“Adjudication”) that
was filed on February 4, 2004 with the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of
Riverside. Within this Adjudication, OVP was granted overlying water rights of 1,806 acre-
feet/year over a total of 5,331.65 acres consisting of several assessor parcels that are identified
within Exhibits D and E of the Adjudication. Section 3(G) of the Adjudication clearly defines OVP’s
Overlying Water Rights and states that these rights can be passed on to OVP’s successors and
assigns for development of their projects. OVP desires to have the Overlyer Rights assigned to
the Assessor Parcel Numbers that make up the entire Summerwind Ranch Specific Plan
(“Project”). The entire Project property that is defined by the approved Summerwind Ranch
Specific Plan is located entirely within the OVP Adjudication parcels; and

WHEREAS, the reference OVP 2004 parcel numbers listed on Exhibit D of the
Adjudication that are pertinent to the Project property includes the following parcel numbers:
• 413-040-002;
• 413-160-003 through 007;
• 413-170-020, 021, 023, 027 through 031, 033, and 035;
• 413-180-011 and 019;
• 413-190-001 and 011;
• 413-200-002, 010, 014, 015, 020, 023, 024, 026 through 030, and 034 through 037;
• 413-290-003 and 007;
• 413-460-038; and

WHEREAS, OVP desires that the Beaumont Basin Watermaster (“Watermaster”) approve
the transfer of all 1,806 acre-feet/year of OVP’s overlying water rights that are defined within the
Adjudication for the development of the Project by OVP and its successors. Once this transfer is
approved by the Watermaster, incremental portions of the 1,806 acre-feet/year of water rights will
be subsequently transferred to the Yucaipa Valley Water District to service the development
phases of the Project.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BEAUMONT BASIN WATERMASTER
as follows:

1. Transfer of Overlying Water Rights. The Watermaster hereby approves the transfer of
1,806 acre-feet of OVP’s overlying water rights, as amended from time to time when approved by
the Watermaster as a recalculation of Beaumont Basin Safe Yield, to the Project parcels listed on
Exhibit 1 to provide for the development phases of the Project by OVP and its successors/assigns.
Once this transfer is approved by the Watermaster, incremental portions of the 1,806 acre-
feet/year of water rights will be subsequently transferred to the Yucaipa Valley Water District to
service the development phases of the Project.
