ENG DECLARATION FOR SOUTH AGUA HEADIONDA REACHES SAHTIE AND SAHTIF; CMWD PROJECT NO. 92-406 SAHTI E AND SAHTI F RECOMMENDED ACTION: CITY MGR. a Adopt Resolution No. zooo-106 approving and authorizing execution of a reimbursement agreement with the Terraces at Sunny Creek, LLC, for engineering costs; and certification of an Environmental Mitigated Negative Declaration for South Agua Hedionda Reaches SAHTIE and SAHTIF; CMWD Project No. 92-406 SAHTI E and SAHTl F. ITEM EXPLANATION: The Sewer Master Plan identifies the need to construct an l&inch diameter interceptor sewer pipeline through “The Terraces at Sunny Creek”. This sewer pipeline is referred to as Reach SAHTl E of the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer which will ultimately extend easterly toward Vista and serve future developments. Also, Reach SAHTI F will extend through “The Terraces at Sunny Creek” and eliminate three (3) private sewer lift stations. Reach SAHTIF will be an 8-inch diameter sewer pipeline. Exhibit 1, Location Map, shows the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer System. Since “The Terraces at Sunny Creek” needs Reach SAHTlE for sewer service, the developer was conditioned to design and construct Reaches SAHTIE and SAHTI F. The developer of “The Terraces at Sunny Creek” is now requesting reimbursement for design of the final plans and specifications for these reaches. The cost to construct Reaches SAHTIE and SAHTIF will be reimbursed by a separate agreement and is not included in this request. The reimbursement agreement is for engineering costs only and is included in Exhibit 2. Prior to giving the developer’s engineer of work the notice to proceed for design, engineering staff determined that the design cost was fair and reasonable and that the designer was capable of performing the work. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The Planning Director reviewed the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor sewer pipeline projects, Reaches SAHTl E and SAHTl F, and has given the projects a Mitigated Negative Declaration dated August 18, 1999 as part of EIA 97-05 and this determination is being certified by this City Council action.

Code [6103].) Space above this line for Recorder’s Use REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT REGARDING SOUTH AGUA HEDIONDA INTERCEPTOR SEWER REACHES SAHTIE AND SAHTI F-ENGINEERING COST ONLY THIS REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT (hereinafter the “Agreement”) is entered into as of 9 2000, by and between THE TERRACES AT SUNNY CREEK, LLC, a California partnership (hereinafter “Terraces”) and the City OF CARLSBAD, a municipal corporation of the State of California (hereinafter “City”), with reference to the following facts: A. The Terraces is the record owner of certain real property located in the City of Carlsbad, California, more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and made a part hereof (“The Terraces Development”). The Terraces Development consists of a residential area of 172 homes, 50 affordable housing units, and a commercial site, referred to as Lot 11 of CT 83-36, as designated on Exhibit “A”. As used herein, the term “Planning Area” shall refer, as indicated, to both the commercial center and the residential area. The various Planning Areas as shown on Exhibit “A” either are, or will become, separate legal parcels in accordance with the applicable legal requirements of the State of California and the City. B. Upon their creation as separate legal parcels, the “Terraces” intends to convey or cause conveyance of record title to the Planning Areas, to other persons pursuant to -_ contractual commitments not related to this Agreement. Any further development activity with respect to any of the Planning Areas will be the responsibility of the respective transferee. All of the Planning Areas of The Terraces Development Project, are herein referred to collectively as the “The Terraces Development Project.” The Terraces is the developer of The Terraces Development Project. C. The Terraces filed a separate application for tentative subdivision map and site development plan with respect to the Planning Area. The Project is the subject of certain development approvals received from the City of Carlsbad, including without limitation: Tentative Subdivision Map (CT 96-02, EIR 98-01, GPA 96-01, ZC 96-01, SP 190(B), LFMP 87- 15B, SDP 97-02), Planned Unit Development Permit (PUD 96-02) and Hillside Development Permit (HDP 96-02), all approved by the City Council, Resolution No. 98-337 on November 17, 1998, which included specific reference to Planning Commission Resolution No. 4288 through 4295 recommending approval of The Terraces Development Project with conditions and approved by the Planning Commission on July 1, 1998. D. The Terraces has filed a separate application for a General Plan Amendment, Rezoning, LCP Amendment, Hillside Permit, and a master tentative map (the “Master Tentative Map” or “MTM”) with respect to The Terraces Development Project. Planning Areas are being processed merely to create them as legal parcels, and the Master Tentative Map intended to note that further mapping of parcels, will be required prior to any development of them. The Terraces has also filed a proposed amendment to the Zone 15 Local Facilities Management Plan ( the “LFMP General Amendment”). In addition, the Terraces has filed a separate application for approval of a site development plan with respect to the commercial site Lot 11 of CT-83-36 “The Plaza” and expects development approval within the year 2000. E. The various approvals referred to in Recitals “C” and “D” are collectively referred to herein as “The Terraces Development Project Approvals.” 2 5 F. One of the conditions of approval for the Tentative Map (CT 96-02) for the Terraces, portions of Condition 7 and Finding 1, requires the Terraces to construct a sewer line within portions of “The Terraces Development Project” to El Camino Real. G. The Terraces has advanced or is willing to advance on behalf of the City the cost of engineering the South Agua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer Reaches SAHTlE and SAHTI F located within the Terraces Development Project facilities consisting of a 18-inch diameter PVC, SDR 35, pipeline as identified by the Zones 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 16, 18 and 24 Local Facilities Management Plan and an 8-inch diameter PVC, SDR 35, pipeline.

Said plan is set forth in the January 1992 Update to the December 1987 Master Plan of Sewerage, prepared by Wilson Engineering (hereinafter the “Wilson Report”), and is subject to further review and modification by the City. The sewer benefit area fees, in addition to sewer connection fees, will be collected by the City from builders upon the City’s issuance of building permits. I. The City will utilize funds collected from such sewer benefit area fees, in addition to sewer connection fees, to reimburse the costs advanced hereunder by the Terraces. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: 1. Costs to be Reimbursed bv The Citv. a) South Aaua Hedionda Interceptor Sewer.
