SUBJECT: BUENA WOODS UNITS 1 AND 2
REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENTS
STATEMENT OF THE MATTER
The developer was required to oversize sewer, water and storm drain facilities as
part of the construction of Buena Woods, Units 1 and 2. The oversizing of the
waterline was needed to accommodate the increased water flow requirements of the
Plaza Camino Real expansion, while the oversizing of the sewer and storm drain was
required by the City to accommodate a 70-acre drainage basin in the vicinity of
Valley Street and Elm Avenue. Although staff does not advocate a future policy to
reimburse developers for oversizing storm drains or sewer lines built within the
limits of their subdivision, this seems to be a special case. The record indicates
that the developer was assured he would be reimbursed for these improvements and
has been working with the City for several years to settle the reimbursement issue.
The determination of the reimbursable costs was complicated due to the five-year
time lapse, the changeover of engineering personnel and past conflicts with the
developer's engineer over the true extent of the oversizing. These problems now
appear to be resolved. The quantities and size increases as shown on Exhibit "A"
of the Resolution were all determined from a review of the plans and engineering
calculations. All the figures as presented are based on 1974 prices. The cost
differences for the pipe oversizing were pulled directly from the City of San
Diego's Community Development Subdivisions Manual dated March 15, 1974. The re-
maining costs were arrived at using engineering judgment as to the probable cost
difference. Engineering staff feels the attached figures are justified. No funds
have been previously authorized by Council for this reimbursement and fund transfers
from appropriate accounts are required.
The storm drain reimbursement of $6,716.60 is proposed for funding by transferring
funds from General Fund 'Unappropriated Reserves, Account No. 01-000-0900, to Capital
Improvement Program, Account No. 01-170-3900. The waterline reimbursement of $2,784
is proposed for funding by transferring funds from Unappropriated Water Reserves,
Account No. 51-000-0900 to Water Transmission and Distribution Lines, Account No.
51-244-3970. The sewer line reimbursement of $'1.838.40 is proposed for funding fromthe Sewer Construction Fund, Account No. 16-207-3900.
