body
BACKGROUND:
The Fair Oaks Sewer Maintenance District (District) entered into an agreement with the Town of Woodside (Town) dated April 2, 1968 for the provision of sewage transmission and disposal through District facilities of wastewater collected by the District for properties within the corporate limits of the Town and the Town’s Redwood Creek Main Trunk Sewer and Glens Collection System Assessment District (Assessment District).
Russell and Deborah Margiotta are the current owners of the property within the Town of Woodside at 220 Laning Drive, which is also identified as Assessor’s Parcel Number 073-021-010. They have requested that their property be annexed to the District in order to receive sewer service. A public hearing to consider an annexation to the District is required pursuant to Section 5820 et. seq. of the Streets and Highways Code.
Your Board adopted Resolution No. 075650 on January 9, 2018, which is set for 9:00 A.M. on Tuesday, February 13, 2018 in your Chambers as the time and place for a public hearing to consider the annexation of the Lands of Margiotta to the District.
DISCUSSION:
The District prepared the attached geographic description (Exhibit A) and plat map (Exhibit B) for the property, and the public hearing to consider the proposed annexation has been properly noticed (Exhibit C). 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. Therefore, we are recommending that the annexation be approved.
County Counsel has reviewed and approved the resolution as to form and the Town has consented to the annexation by adopting their Resolution No. 2017-7167.
Approval of this annexation contributes to the Shared Vision 2025 outcome of a Healthy Community by providing 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.
