Director Memorandum 18-017

Date: February 6, 2018

Prepared By: Kathryn Hallberg, Management Analyst

Subject: Discussion Regarding the Potential Land Sale, Lot Line Adjustment, and
Easement Allowance Associated with Well 28 - Mike Parskima

Recommendation: That the Board directs District staff to proceed with the sale and creation
of an access easement with Mr. Parskima.

The District staff has been working with homeowner Mike Parskima, whose property is located
next to Well 28 on Limekin Drive in Yucaipa.

In early 2017, Mr. Parskima approached the District about the possibility of purchasing Well 28
which is adjacent to his property. Well 28 is not currently being utilized but is an asset to the
District and will be turned into a monitoring well in the near future, and maybe a groundwater
production well again.

Mr. Parskima’s house extends
within 18 inches to the property
line of Well 28. Mr. Parskima
requested the District’s
consideration to purchase the
tail end of the property as this is
the portion of the property that
is closest to his home.

Since the District no longer
accesses the well site with
vehicles, and in an effort to be
good neighbors the District
offered Mr. Parskima the
possibility of purchasing the tail
end of the property estimated to
be 450 square feet, as seen in the attached map.

In addition to the purchase of a portion of the property, Mr. Parskima would be responsible for the
cost of a lot line adjustment needed to complete the purchase of the property.

District staff would also recommend providing an easement to Mr. Parskima, at his cost to the
portion of the property outlined in the map below. This would allow Mr. Parskima access to the
back of his property and would not interfere with District staff operations.

These options were discussed with Mr. Parskima as a possibility pending Board approval and he
was agreeable to these terms.
