Below is a synopsis of my meeting notes to help break down where we are with this issue:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is not a new ordinance.\u00a0 It was adopted in 2019 and amended in 2020 and its purpose was to provide for the removal of hazardous vegetation and combustible materials in the unincorporated areas of the County to reduce wildfire risk.<\/li>\n<li>The 100 ft. defensible space requirement around structures is state law.<\/li>\n<li>State law also requires that if you are selling real property in a High or Very High Fire Hazard Severity zone, you need to provide the buyer with documentation stating that the property meets the defensible space requirements.\u00a0 This became state law July 1, 2021 (AB38).\u00a0 If documentation cannot be obtained prior to the close of escrow, seller and buyer may enter into an agreement for the buyer to obtain documentation and compliance.\u00a0 Staff suggested a timeline of 90 days after escrow.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Proposed changes to our Ordinance include&#8230;<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>An enforcement process which clarifies the administrative and abatement process.\u00a0 It also adds a &#8220;meet and confer&#8221; process so that property owners can obtain compliance to make their property and community safer.<\/li>\n<li>Definitions were added, modified and clarified including the definition of &#8220;structure&#8221;.\u00a0 In our Ordinance, the definition of structure was updated to include buildings which qualify for occupancy per our building code (trailers, mobile homes), commercial buildings, industrial and agricultural buildings,\u00a0 barns, storage and any accessory buildings that have a site address.\u00a0 Freestanding outbuildings less than 120 sq. ft are exempt from defensible space requirements.<\/li>\n<li>A &#8220;Good Neighbor Policy&#8221; was added to clarify the roles and responsibilities for creating and maintaining a 100-ft. defensible space clearance around a structure.<\/li>\n<li>We added ourselves into this Ordinance! State law exempts local governments from having to comply with these regulations under the definition of &#8220;Responsible Person&#8221;, but we felt that was not right.\u00a0 If our goal is a fire safe community, we also have to do our part!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>At our BOS meeting, staff and Captain Shephard from El Dorado County Fire were particularly helpful in explaining that the intent of this ordinance is education, outreach and voluntary compliance, and that the defensible space requirements are more about strategic, intentional landscaping around a structure, NOT moon-scaping or a concrete jungle.\u00a0<\/strong>Defensible space inspections will help property owners know what they actually need to do to be fire safe.\u00a0 I was also relieved to hear that since we enacted this ordinance in 2019, we have never assessed a fine.\u00a0 The enforcement process is there as a last resort to give us a tool to abate nuisance and hazardous properties (after a full due-process) if the property owner is not cooperative.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong>Following public comment, the Board continued the item off calendar and directed staff to develop an implementation document which describes the purpose of the Ordinance and how it is intended to be used.<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0<strong>We also directed that community workshops be held over the next several months (on the West Slope and on the East Slope) to give you a chance to engage on this issue.\u00a0 If we do not understand our residents&#8217; concerns and if our residents do not understand this ordinance, it will not be successful and ultimately, our community will not be as resilient as it could be if we all work together cooperatively.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><em>Stay tuned for workshop dates, and I will look forward to seeing you there!<\/em><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><strong><a
