title
Acting as the Governing Board of the Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District, adopt a resolution setting Tuesday, October 17, 2017 at 9:00 a.m. at your regularly scheduled Board meeting, as the time and place for a public hearing on the proposed annexation of the Lands of Vorrath (290 Ridgeway Road, Woodside, APN 069-361-170) to the Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District.
body
BACKGROUND:
The Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District (District) entered into an agreement (Agreement) with the Town of Woodside (Town) on April 2, 1968, 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 agreement requires properties within the Town that are proposed to be served by the District be annexed to the District, and also requires the Town to approve said annexations into the District. The Town executed Resolution No. 2017-7148 on March 14, 2017 (attached), consenting to the proposed annexation of this property. Section 5820 et seq. of the Streets and Highways Code authorizes your Board to adopt a resolution setting the time and place for the hearing upon the question of annexation, and to conduct a hearing to determine whether the territory shall be annexed.
DISCUSSION:
Darren and Kim Vorrath are the current owners of the property within the Town at 290 Ridgeway Road, which is also identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 069-361-170. They have requested that their property be annexed to the District in order to receive sewer service.
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. Department staff has determined that the property can be served through the facilities of the District, and is recommending that a public hearing be set for your Board’s regular meeting of October 17, 2017, at 9:00 a.m., to consider the proposed annexation.
The required notices will be posted and published subject to your Board adopting the proposed resolution.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form.
Approval of this action contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community as it is a required step in the process to provide effective sanitary sewer service to a parcel in a suburban area that would otherwise use an “on-site” method to handle wastewater.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The property owners have paid or will pay all required fees for the parcel as follows:
• Annexation Processing Fee: $1,800
• District Connection Fee: $4,460
• Plan Review Fee: $300
• Sewer Inspection Permit Fee: $300
• State Board of Equalization’s Recording and Mapping Fee: $350
If the annexation is approved, the property owners will be subject to the annual sewer service charge levied by the District, which has been set at $680 for Fiscal Year 2017-2018. The property owners 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.
