Ventura—During a Tuesday, August 6, special meeting, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution with the intent to purchase real property.
The 1.5-acre property is located at 575 Casitas Vista Road, owned by Dennis Ryder and Susan Ryder, Trustees of The Dennis and Susan Ryder Family Trust.
The intent to purchase amount was adjusted to $1.3 million, with an updated notice of intent with the adjusted amount.
Central Services Director Joan Araujo presented the item and said the property is located in the Foster Park area below Lake Casitas in District 1.
“This property comprises five parcels, and the County is offering the appraised and validated value of $1.273 million,” she said. “This request also includes an additional $15,000 for closing costs, which do not include any pro-rated property taxes.”
Once approved, she said the Board’s Clerk will publish three notices of intent starting August 12, 19, and 26.
“I’m scheduled to return to your Board for a public hearing on this matter on Tuesday, September 10, should this notice of intent be approved,” Araujo said. “The funds for this purchase would be forthcoming in a grant from the National Resource Conservation Service (NRCS).”
