Connection Fee for El Camino Real Sewer from Tamarack Avenue to Chestnut Avenue.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
There are twenty (20) parcels of land located along El Camino Real between Tamarack Avenue and
Chestnut Avenue that presently do not have access to a public sewer. Existing residences in this area use private on-site septic tanklleachfields for wastewater disposal. To provide a public sewer
requires the construction of an 8-inch diameter sewer pipeline that would begin at an existing sewer
Avenue as shown in Exhibit 1. The proposed sewer includes manholes and also a service lateral for
pipeline at Tamarack Avenue and extend northerly approximately 4,280-feet towards Chestnut
each of the 20-parcels. One service lateral will extend partially within a private utility easement to
provide service to 5 of the parcels. The estimated construction cost is $420,000.
The cost share of the project to each benefiting property owner was established by prorating the
total estimated construction cost using a ratio of the total number of equivalent dwelling units
(EDU’s) allowed on the parcel in relation to the total number of EDU’s estimated for the benefiting
service area. This method was used because all parcels benefit equally in the sewer capacity, not all
parcels front the sewer, and the sewer pipeline length is greater than the total front footage of each
parcel. The total number of EDU’s per parcel was determined from existing land use zoning
approved by the City for each parcel, with the exception that parcels having an existing residence
was assumed at 1 EDU rather than the possible number of EDU’s allowed under current zoning.
This approach resulted in a potential for 28 EDU’s on 20 parcels of land. There are a total of
own parcels that are undeveloped. 14 property owners. Seven property owners have an existing residence and seven property owners
To finance the sewer project, staff recommends that the City fund the construction cost through a
loan from the Sewer Replacement Fund. The property owners would then reimburse the City’s
the parcel of land that they own. Property owners with developed property would be required to pay
Sewer Replacement Fund when they pay the sewer reimbursement connection fee attributable to
their fee assessment when they connect to the sewer. Owners of undeveloped property would be
required to pay the fee upon issuance of a building permit for the property. These conditions would
be recorded on each property.
Under the proposed funding approach, the City’s Sewer Replacement Fund may not totally be reimbursed if a parcel of undeveloped land is not developed, or if an existing home does
not connect to the sewer. In reference to Chapter 13.04.030, “Use of public sewers required”,
the City Engineer will not be notifying property owners to connect existing residences to the sewer
except when their private on-site septic tanklleachfield fails to handle the wastewater from the
existing residence.

Chapter 13.08 et seq., of the Carlsbad Municipal Code establishes provisions that compel a
property owner to pay such owner’s proportionate share of the cost of a sewer main to serve such
owner’s property as a precondition to connecting to such sewer main. Section 13.08.010 provides
that whenever a person applies to connect to a sewer main, such application may not be acted upon
or approved until such person has paid to the City such person’s proportionate share of the cost of
such sewer main. Section 13.08.035 authorizes the City Council by resolution to approve a plat map
for an area benefited by a sewer main which provides for a fee determined by dividing the cost of
the sewer main by the number of dwelling units served by such sewer main.
Government Code Section 66013 and 66016. Government Code Section 66016 requires that prior In order to establish such sewer main connection fee, the City must comply with the provisions of
to adopting the resolution to levy such sewer main connection fee, the City Council must hold at
least one open and public meeting, at which oral and written presentations can be made, as part of
a regularly scheduled meeting. Notice of the time and place of such meeting must be mailed at least 14 days prior to the meeting to any interested person who has filed said written request for such
notice. However, the City Council is going beyond these minimum procedural requirements by
scheduling a public hearing on January 22, 2002 to consider the establishment of this sewer
reimbursement connection fee and that notice of such hearing was mailed on December 28. 2001,
which provided more than 14 days prior notice of the hearing to owners of each parcel benefited by
the sewer improvements as well as any other interested person who has filed a written request for such notice.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will initially be funded by a loan of $420,000 from the Sewer Replacement Fund to the

Subject: 1-22-02 Hearing for reimbursement of connection fee,
El Camino Real sewer line from Tamarack Ave. to Chestnut Ave.
As a property owner for parcels 18 and 19 on the enclosed map (Assessor's No.
1657-230-24 & 25), I would ask that the City Council support the proposed project.
Exhibit C contemplates that I would use 4 EDU for my 2% acres. i believe this is realistic
and I would think this would occur soon after the new sewer line was finished.
Thank you for your support.

Re: EI Camino Real Sewer Llne Extension CITY ci"s OFFICE
from Tamarack Ave to Chestnut Ave
Thank you for you and your staffs hard work in putting together the project that was
approved by the City Council last night.
I will look forward to working with you in getting the project completed
In anticipating the finished project's extension of the sewer lines, it will be important to
determined when the City will finish the widening of El Camino Real in front of our property,
parcels 167-230-24 & -25.
It seems to me that this would be a good time to finish the road widening at this location.
Maybe you can let me know what the City's thoughts about this are. Is there a drawing of
what the City proposes? If so, could you send me a copy?
Sincerely yours,

PUBLIC HEARING FOR REIMBURSEMENT CONNECTION FEE -EL CAMINO REAL SEWER FROM TAMARACK AVENUE TO CHESTNUT AVENUE: APN(S): ccAPNsn
Over the past 12 months, City staff has been working on developing a public sewer to provide service to properties along El Camino Real between Tamarack Avenue and Chestnut Avenue.
This work was in response to a request from many of the property owners in this area of the City. During this time we held two informal meetings with property owners in March and June of
2001 at the City's office on Faraday Avenue to discuss the proposed public sewer.
Based on input from the property owners, the City has determined the service area for the public sewer and a method to finance the construction cost. The service area includes twenty
owners. Seven property owners have an existing residence and seven property owners own (20) parcels of land as shown on the attached Exhibit A. There are a total of 14 property
parcels that are undeveloped. Our records show that you own at least one of these twenty parcels.
SEWER REIMBURSEMENT CONNECTION FEE
The estimated construction cost of the sewer project is shown on Exhibit B and totals $420.000. To finance the project's construction cost, it is proposed that the City borrow from its Sewer Replacement Fund. The benefiting property owners would .then reimburse the Sewer
reimbursement connection fee for each of the 20 parcels by prorating the project cost by a ratio Replacement Fund through a "Reimbursement Connection Fee". We have calculated the
of the number of equivalent dwelling units (EDU's), which is a single-family residence, that can be built on a given parcel of land divided by the total number of EDU's in the benefit area. The number of EDU's were estimated by using the City's existing land use zoning. This approach resulted in a potential for 28 EDU's on 20 parcels of land. The distribution of cost to each parcel of land is shown on Exhibit C. A parcel having one EDU or residence would have a reimbursement connection fee of $15,000. In addition to this fee, the property owner is also
approximately $1,800 per EDU. responsible to pay the City's sewer connection fee that pays for treatment capacity. This fee is
TIME FOR PAYMENT OF REIMBURSEMENT CONNECTION FEE
Property owners with developed property would be required to pay their fee assessment at the time they connect to the sewer, The City Engineer will not be requiring existing residences to connect to the sewer unless their private on-site septic tanklleachfield system fails. Owners of undeveloped property would be required to pay the fee assessment upon issuance of a building permit for the property. These conditions would be recorded on each property.
