The example of a single family residential unit as given in the newspaper does not apply properties in the Cii of Carlsbad, but was only intended to estabiish an example of a I application of the formula as applied to a typical single family residential unit that benefits ail three services - Street Lighting, Street Tree Trimming and Street Median Maintenance. Your property is identified as a condominium unit and is, therefore, assessed by a diil formula base. In addition, your property is not included in the Street Tree Trimming Zone so is not assessed for services to that zone.

I- July 12, 1995 x A*- F- "~~ mX\\ LbkL k To "NOTICE OF PROTEST FOR TAX INCREASE CALLED STREfT UGHTlNG & LANDSCAPING DISTRICT NO. 1' The intent of this lettter is to claify certain statements in the "Protest' form letters signed you end seven other property owners within your immediate area. The statement within the first paragraph '...do hereby protest the increases advertised ir Blade Citizen ...' is confusing. Overall, your total assessment for all three zones within tt District (Street Light Maintenance, Street Tree Maintenance and Street Median Maintena decreased by $4.84 compared to the previous year. The example given in the newspaper notice was meant to represent an estimated averi benefit assessment for a single family residence for Fiscal Year 1995-96. It was not inte to represent increases, or decreases. The second paragraph of the form letter, and portions of the third, stating "I further plot existence of these taxes in the first place,' and 'My protest is based on the Landscapin! Lighting Act of 1972.: seem contradictory. The Lighting and Landscaping Act of 1972, codified at Section 22500, and following, of Streets and Highways Code, permits the installation, maintenance and servicing of landscaping and lighting through annual assessments on real property which benefits f the improvement. Property which does not benefit is not assessed. Further, the amou assessed is not based on property valuation (ad valorem taxation), but on the estimate benefits to the property (benefit assessment). The further intent of this letter is to indicate City staff's availability to respond to any ad1 comments, or questions, you have regarding the district. For additional background information, you can reach me at 619/434-2941.

Abshier 2821 Forest View Way Carlsbad CA 92008 PROTEST OF STREET LIGHTING ZONE ASSESSMENT FOR FY 1995-96 The City Clerk sent me a copy of your letter regarding the Street Lighting Zone benefit assessment proposed for your property, which presents the opportunity to provide further information concerning the assessment. The energy and maintenance costs for the street lighting system within your neighborhood has been paid for with funds from the City's street lighting budget since the lights were installed in 1985. Although Forest View Way is classified as a private street, the City retains general easements for street light maintenance and other City services, The owners of adjacent properties on your street have been paying an annual stref lighting assessment since annexation to the district in 1986-87. Annexation to the City-wide Street Lighting and Landscaping District No. 1 is petitioned by the origin? developers of improved properties at the time of plan submittal. Fiscal Year's 199L 1995 lighting assessment for all other Forest View Way properties was $39.78. The Fiscal Year 1995-1 996 proposed assessment for the same properties is $35.72. A recent audit of the entire Street Lighting Zone identified more than 100 assessabl parcels throughout the City directly benefitting from street lighting that had either been inadvertently omitted from the assessment rolls or had been incorrectly formulated for prior assessment rolls. Although notification of the street lighting assessment rates for these parcels is not required by state law, City staff felt notification to property owners of the adjusted/increased rates was advisable in order to be able to respond to individual concerns such as yours.
