Placer County Supes approve private property owner's right to build

The Placer County Supervisors today approved a request from Tahoe City resident Tony Caldwell to build on his land, which consists of nearly five acres in Alpine Meadows.

The property is zoned Open Space and its land use designation includes "green belt" and "park." Today's board action will re-zone the property to Residential Family.

The board approved the request on the advice of County Planning Department Director Michael Johnson who said Caldwell received the necessary environmental analysis to move forward with building a home and obtained sufficient utility services. 

One proviso, however, is that Caldwell must have a licensed architect or engineer on the site during grading.

The board voted 4-1 with Supervisor Jennifer Montgomery dissenting.
