Solano County Municipal Code § 26-133 Dedication of land and easements for public use

All title, rights and easements specified in Sections 26-133.1 through 26-133.4 shall be dedicated or offered for dedication to the County of Solano or other appropriate public agency not later than the time the final map or parcel map is filed for approval.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

All rights-of-way required by Section 26-77 with respect to channels shall be offered for dedication to the appropriate public agency. All required rights-of-way offered to a public agency shall be offered for dedication in a form that meets the requirements of that agency. All required rights-of-way offered for dedication pursuant to this section shall be free of all liens, encumbrances, assessments, leases and easements except for public utility easements.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

Easements allowing all governmental agencies access for public health, safety and welfare purposes on all private roads or lanes shall be dedicated or offered for dedication to the County of Solano.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

Except as otherwise provided below, all easements for public roads, public pedestrian and bicycle paths, public walks, and public alleys shown on the final map or parcel map and all rights of access to and from residential lots of the proposed subdivision abutting on controlled access roads shall be offered free and clear of any prior easements or rights-of-way, liens and encumbrances for dedication to the County of Solano. The rights of access to and from residential lots abutting on controlled access roads shall be such that owners of such lots shall have no rights whatsoever in such roads except in the general right of travel which belongs to the public at large. The Board of Supervisors may approve an offer of dedication wherein certain easements remain prior, in while or part, to the rights being offered to the County. However, such approval shall be given only when unusual circumstances warrant and the easements that remain prior do not substantially interfere with proper use of the rights being offered to the county.

All other easements for public use required as a condition for approval of the tentative map for the proposed subdivision shall be offered for dedication to the County of Solano or other appropriate agency.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

All offers of dedication shall be made by certificate on the final map or parcel map unless made by separate document with the approval of the County Surveyor.

(Ord. No. 1608, §2)

The Board of Supervisors is authorized to accept or reject on behalf of the County, or on behalf of any other public entity whose governing board is the Solano County Board of Supervisors, any and all offers of dedication, whether by separate document or by certificate on the map. Acceptance pursuant to this Section of an offer of dedication of a road (including ways offered only for nonvehicular use such as equestrian and pedestrian trails) shall cause that road to become a public way open to use by the public unless the offer expressly provides otherwise. Acceptance pursuant to this section of an offer of dedication of a road (including ways offered for nonvehicular use) shall not cause the road to become a County highway that the County is obligated to maintain unless and until the road is, by resolution of the Solano County Board of Supervisors, expressly accepted into the County road system.
