1 year later, how is Sacramento addressing backyard encroachments onto city property? ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

The area is between San Juan and West El Camino Avenue, where people have been extending their backyards beyond their backyard fence lines.

Many neighbors' main concern with the space has been over fire danger, but they have extended their backyards to the point where some have poured concrete to create basketball courts and batting cages.

Talamantes told CBS13 that after reviewing the long history of the parkway, she wants to bring that program back, where they will charge people a yearly property tax fee to plant beyond their fence lines.

"What's most important to me is figuring out a solution that can work for the city, the city park's department and for neighbors," said Talamantes.

George Azar has an encroachment along the parkway and spoke with us last summer.

Back then, he showed CBS13 his backyard extension that pretty much looked like a park with a bench and concrete from where a basketball court once was.

"We're in a budget deficit right now, the City of Sacramento," said Talamantes. "If people are willing to step up and plant some beautiful mustard seeds or plants, then why not?"

The city attorney will need to look over liability concerns.

CBS13 put in a request with the city to see if it plans on doing any more vegetation management along the parkway before the summer heat.
