BACKGROUND:
The Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District (District) entered into an agreement with the Town of Woodside (Town) on April 2, 1968 (Agreement) for the provision of sewage transmission and disposal of wastewater collected through the District facilities for properties within the corporate limits of the Town and within the Town’s Redwood Creek Main Trunk Sewer and Glens Collection System Assessment District (Assessment District). The subject property is within the Town and outside of the original boundary of the Assessment District.
The Peterman Trust is the current owner of the property within the Town at 145 Lynn Way, which is also identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 069-150-630. The owner has requested that the property be annexed to the District in order to receive sewer service. The existing septic system failed and the owner has received permission from the District to expedite a connection. A hearing to consider an annexation to the District is required pursuant to Section 5820 et. seq. of the Streets and Highways Code.
This Board adopted Resolution No. 080689 on October 8, 2024, which set 9:00 A.M. on Tuesday, November 12, 2024 at the regularly scheduled Board meeting, as the time and place for a hearing to consider the annexation of the Lands of Peterman Trust to the District.
DISCUSSION:
The District is able to provide sewer service to the property as it is one of the properties within the Assessment District that was allocated a portion of the District’s sewage treatment capacity. The District prepared a geographic description and plat map for the property being considered for annexation, which are attached to the Resolution as Exhibit “A” and “B”, respectively. The hearing to consider the proposed annexation has been properly noticed. Therefore, we recommend the annexation be approved.
County Attorney has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form and the Town has consented to the annexation by adopting their Resolution No. 2022-7539.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The property owner has paid or will pay all required fees for the parcel as follows:
• Annexation Processing Fee: $1,800
• District Connection Fee: $5,960
• Plan Review Fee: $300
• Sewer Inspection Permit Fee: $300
• Miscellaneous Services Fee: $200
• State Board of Equalization’s Recording and Mapping Fee: $350
If the annexation is approved, the property owner will be subject to the annual sewer service charge levied by the District, which has been set for $1,095 for FY 2024-2025. The property owner will construct and pay for the sewer lateral that is necessary to bring sewer service to this property.
There is no impact to the General Fund.
