Hello! I stumbled across this site while I was researching the early days of the Subdivision Map Act. I am involved in research and am researching a subdivision that was created in 1924 and offered, dedicated and accepted by the County with all the attendant attestations from the developer/subdivider, notary for same, Bank notary, County Auditor signature, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, and County Auditor and Assessor saying the subdivision is valuable for summer residences and camp sites. That was in 1924. Today, it is home to full time and part time residents in houses. I'm trying to jive up what was the standard for subdivision acceptance according to the SMA in 1924, before the 1929 change and how to interpret the 2003 Supreme Court decision in the 2003 Supreme Court decision in Gardner vs County of Sonoma: "The California Supreme Court's decision in Gardner v County of Sonoma (2003) 29 C4th 990, leaves open the question of whether maps filed before 1929 can create legal lots. This date is significant because it was not until the 1929 amendments to the Subdivision Map Act that cities and counties were given authority to regulate subdivisions."
Anyone? Buhler? Buhler?
TIA!
