RE: City of Lake Elsinore Request for Tax Default Purchase of APN 379050024-4
Follow Up for Property located on Ulla Lane, Lake Elsinore CA 92530
Dear Ms. Bryant -August:
Thank you very much for your assistance and follow up on the City of Lake Elsinore
request to purchase the above -identified parcel. Attached is the original application
packet with applicable information.
You had requested additional information to include the City's Mission Statement and
also why the City of Lake Elsinore objects to parcel 379050024-4 being sold under Chapter
7 tax sale. Following is the information.
The City Council adopted the City's Mission Statement that says "The City of Lake
Elsinore will be the ultimate lake destination where all can live, work, and play, building
futures and fulfill dreams."
The City objects to the sale of the property under Chapter 7 tax sale as the parcel was
identified and currently is designed for drainage and flood control. The adjacent
properties called the "Cottage Lane" subdivision was approved for 48 residential units
under Tract Map 32996 and the subject parcel was designed to not only address drainage
and flood control on that property but also currently accepts drainage and flood control
for existing residential properties on Ulla Lane. The parcel is graded with rip rap to
function as a drainage and flood control channel. In addition, due to the current property
owner's lack of maintenance the City conducted a nuisance abatement to remove all
overgrown vegetation that was interfering with the drainage and flood control function.
When the Cottage Lane project was sold the subject parcel was inadvertently removed.
Sale of the parcel for development of a residence cannot be done unless the current
drainage and flood control function were replaced.

RE: City of Lake Elsinore Request for Tax Default Purchase of APN 379050024-4
Property located on Ulla Lane, Lake Elsinore CA 92530
Dear Ms. Bryant -August:
Thank you very much for your assistance in directing me to the procedures of acquiring
the tax default property identified above. Attached is the application and pertinent
information.
This parcel is vacant and currently a drainage facility that serves current and future
residences on Ulla Lane. Tract Map 32996 (attached) when originally approved included
this parcel for drainage on the 48 -unit residential project as well as existing properties on
Ulla Lane. The Tract Map and project went bankrupt and when purchased the drainage
lot was somehow not included in the sale. APN 379050024-4 is critical for area drainage
purposes on Ulla Lane.
The City of Lake Elsinore respectfully requests to purchase this property as soon as
possible to provide drainage to existing and future residences on Ulla Lane. Thank you
for your consideration. Please contact me at 951-674-3124, Ext. 270 or email at
