BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
On August 27, 2019, the Board of Supervisors (BOS) adopted an Ordinance and CEQA exemptions approving a Development Agreement (Napa County Agreement No. 8595) with the Carneros Resort and Spa. The Development Agreement included the conveyance of one-acre of land on the Old Sonoma Road side of the Carneros Resort to the County for use by the County Fire Department. Ongoing negotiations with Carneros Resort resulted in a final parcel configuration of 0.57 acres which adequately meets the County's needs as a suitable site for a future fire facility.
On December 8, 2020, the BOS approved acceptance of a grant deed (Official Record 2020-034345) from GF Carneros, Inn, LLC for a 0.57-acre parcel located along Old Sonoma Road northeasterly of Dealy lane; the Assessor’s Parcel number is 047-110-029-000 and address is 5260 Old Sonoma Road, Napa, CA 94559.
On July 13, 2021, the BOS awarded the Carneros Fire Station 210, PW 20-27 construction contract to R O Construction for their low base bid. Construction was completed on January 18, 2023.
Today’s recommended action establishes the easement for the potable water pipeline and wastewater services pipeline and the terms between the Napa County and GF Carneros Inn, LLC and Carneros Inn Mutual Water Company for providing water and wastewater services as well as amends the design contract with SKA for work conducted in July of 2023, to prepare the easement documents.
