Lone Oak Estates Project Denied

slide12A plan to build 10 homes on 12 acres in Lake Camanche Village ended Tuesday when the Amador County Board of Supervisors denied an appeal by the Lone Oak Estates applicant. The Planning Commission had denied the application to subdivide the parcel because there is not adequate sewer service in the area, and because project roads did not provide sufficient emergency access.
Lone Oak Estates owner Ryan Voorhees appealed the ruling, asking the Supervisors to put the project on hold until wastewater hook-ups were available and road issues were resolved. Lake Camanche Village neighbors of the proposed project presented a petition of signatures urging the Supervisors to deny the appeal – and the Supervisors agreed, voting unanimously. Supervisor Richard Forster noted that the project could be resubmitted in the future, but would need to start the application process at the beginning and be subject to any new requirements or fees that may come into effect in the meantime.
