SANITARY SEWER LINE CITY Am!&& CITY MGR. * RECOMMENDED ACTION: Introduce Ordinance No. 70 and adopt Resolution NO. 7720 . ITEM EXPLANATION On April 17, 1984, Council heard testimony on construction of a sanitary sewer in the vicinity of Buena Vista and Valley Streets and determined that the City would build the sewer with City funds subject to reimbursement when people in the area connect to the line. The existing municipal code provides for reimbursement for sewer mains on a front foot basis. The letter dated April 24, 1984 from the Utilities Director explains why that is not fair in some cases. The attached ordinance would allow the City Council to adopt by resolution an alternative basis for reimbursement - spreading the cost by benefit measured by dwelling units served. The attached resolution would establish the reimbursement schedule for the Buena Vista-Valley project. A request for proposal for design of the project was distributed on April 26, 1984. Responses were received and Brian Smith Engineering of Carlsbad was selected for a fee of $1,900. The design is forthcoming. FISCAL IMPACT - -. c. h The exact fiscal impact is unknown at this time. Computation will be available when the design estimates are received. The City Engineei's estimate for the project is $40,000. If the new Jarvis initiative passes the $715 fee may be invalid.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE SITUATION AS WE CURRENTLY UNDERSTAND IT: 1. WE RESIDE APPROXIMATELY 2 BLOCKS FROM CITY HALL. 2. SEWERS ARE IN PLACE AND OPERATING WITHIN ONE BLOCK OF EACH DIRECTION OF US. 3. AN 8" SEWER LINE COULD EASILY BE RUN FROM ELM AVE. TO BUENA VISTA WAY--A MATTER OF A FEW IiUNDRED FEET. .- --_ b 4 4. IT APPEARS WE ARE UNABLE TO FORM AN ASSESSMENT DISTRICT AS '? .--. c ' ; c!

OUR SEPTIC SYSTEMS ARE BARELY FUNCTIONAL AND ARE A TOTAL ANOMALY TO THE AREA AND ITS NEEDS. h'E ARE MORE THAN WILLING TO WORK WITH THE CITY IN SEEING THAT THIS MOST BASIC OF SERVICES IS PROVIDED TO US. WE ARE SIMPLY ASKING FOR THE OPPORTUKITY TO PRESENT OUR CONCERNS TO THE CITY COUNCIL IN ORDER April 24, 1984 84-068 s 500 TO: CITY ENGINEER FROM: Director, Utilities & Maintenance SEWER BENEFIT DISTRICT - VALLEY STREET AND BUENA VISTA AVENUE The city code provides for a reimbursement procedure for the construction of sewer lines described as a front line fee (13.08.030). This fee reflects benefit in circumstances where lots are similar in size and thus have com- parable frontages on a street. The front line fee tends to be unequitable in areas such as the proposed benefit area which includes some large unde- veloped interior lots (panhandles) or raw acreage which fronts the present streets. It appears that under these circumstances, a more equitable means of assessing benefit would be on an EDU basis - the total EDU calcu- lated using existing zoning and the average "yield" for similarly zoned areas. The area in question is R-1 which requires, as a minimum, 7,500 sq. ft. lots. Some developed lots are larger (10 - 12,000 sq. ft.), but, it is considered highly unlikely that they will attempt any lot consolidation to gain more building lots. for the areas benefiting. provided by this line on a per EDU basis. This would compute at about $715 per EDU. The per foot cost, on the other hand, is $20.62 per foot for each side of the street. This would compute to a cost of $1,853 for Mr. Tell (1700 Buena Vista Way) for a single EDU and $1,409 for the adjoining unde- veloped lot which could yield 4 lots or a net cost of $352 per EDU. It appears to me that the benefit area approach is more equitable than the front line fee in this circumstance. Attached is a listing of the most likely EDU yield This indicates a potential of 56 EDU's being This approach can, I believe, be accomplished by an ordinance change which could be accomplished concurrently with the design and construction of the sewer line. q:dL R :jlc Attachment c: City Manager(w/attachment) City Attorney (w/attachment) .- Parcel No. 156-14-06 156-14-07 156-1 4-08 156-14-09 156-14-10 156- 14-31 156- 14-32 156-20-01 156-20-02 156-20-03 156-20-04 156-20-05 156-20-06 156-20-07 156-20-08 156-20- 26 156-22-01 156-22-20 Size - Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot 1.19 Acre 2.15 Acre Single Lot Single Lot 1.73 Acre Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot Single Lot 4.39 Acre 3.46 Acre EDU - 1 1 1 1 1 4 7 1 1 6 1 1 1 1 1 1 15 12 57 - 4 I P r I' lu I' - - - ---- - '1 I- rn POR.
