My question involves real estate located in the State of: California, County of Lake
I own a ranch that has a state highway and a public ROW-dirt road crossing it.
People are cutting live trees and large dead standing/nesting trees on the dirt road.
The title describes the highway accurately but does not describe the dirt road.
Plats just show a "dotted line" with no geometry.
I can find no record of survey or description of the ROW at the County. I knew the
road existed when I bought the ranch. The county grades it from time to time.
My questions concerning the dirt ROW are:
1) What type of easement would this be under CA law?
2) What would the physical dimensions of this road be legally?
Google shows it as 30 feet, but where would the lines be?
3) What public use would be granted with such an easement?
4) In reference to #3, people are poaching timber and firewood, asserting that
these live and standing dead trees are public property. They come onto the road,
take the wood, leave piles of debris both on and off the road, create deep ruts.
I have had people cock and point firearms at me when I ask them to leave my property.
Its a bit of the old west here and people are use to just taking what they want.
Law enforcement has provided no help in fifteen years of repeated calls.
5) What California laws govern harvesting wood on ROWs, landowners rights to such resources,
and what permits are they required to have in order to harvest timber in a "Category A"
listed raptor and owl habitat?
