    STAFF REPORT 69 A 56 10/24/19 AD 671 W 503.2094 S 28 W. Crunk CONSIDER BOUNDARY LINE AND EASEMENT AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE STATE, ACTING BY AND THROUGH THE STATE LANDS COMMISSION AND CERTAIN PROPERTY OWNERS AT DONNER LAKE PARTIES: State of California, acting by and through the State Lands Commission All those property owners along the shore of Donner Lake listed in Exhibit A, attached (collectively known as the “Property Owners”) INTRODUCTION: In November 2016, a group of Donner Lake property owners filed suit against the Commission through a recently formed corporation known as SOS Donner Lake. The Nevada County Superior Court case, SOS Donner v. California State Lands Commission, challenged the Commission’s jurisdiction over Donner Lake and the boundary between State-owned sovereign land and the privately owned uplands. The proposed Boundary Line and Easement Agreements (Agreements) will settle this litigation, settle the underlying boundary disputes, and bring finality and certainty to an area that has been in contention since the 1970s. The proposed Agreements will fix the elevation of the low-water mark that serves as the boundary between State-owned fee land in the bed of Donner Lake and the privately owned adjoining uplands. The Agreements will also fix the elevation of the high-water mark that delineates the landward extent of the Public Trust easement. The upland owners will also acknowledge the navigability of Donner Lake, thus confirming the State’s ownership of the lakebed. To effectuate the Agreements, the Commission and Property Owners will mutually grant quitclaim deeds that will confirm the parties’ respective ownership.
