1945 - Actors Harry & Olive Carey sell Saugus ranch after 29 years; now Tesoro del Valle [story]

The yellow outlines signify the county-owned parcels - three bigger ones and two little ones at left.

Consider it housekeeping – or yard keeping.

A quarter-century after the city of Santa Clarita was formed, the county of Los Angeles is transfering  title to some land in Canyon Country that was supposed to go to the city in the first place.

At issue are five county-owned parcels the city has maintained as part of Canyon Country Park. According to a report from the county’s chief executive officer, they “should have been transfered from the county to the city at the time of incorporation in December 1987.”

The Board of Supervisors will considering authorizing county CEO William Fujioka to sign the appropriate quit-claim deeds at their meeting Tuesday.

The strings are that the city of Santa Clarita must continue to maintain the five parcels as parkland; and city and county residents must have equal access to the property. Otherwise the county can take back the land.

At various times over the past 25 years, the city has charged unincorporated residents higher enrollment fees than city residents for city parks and recreation programs. The city wouldn’t be able to do that with any program that uses one or more of the five county-owned parcels, which essentially comprise the northwest and northeast corners of the park.

    The 76.6-mile-long Antelope Valley Line has the third-highest ridership in Metrolink’s system with an estimated average of 9,000 passengers daily. However, the uneven terrain and single-tracking along the line in some areas forces trains to travel at a slower speed which results in an estimated travel time of approximately one hour between Santa Clarita and Union Station.
