Example four. Widening of an existing roadway acros~ an existing drainage channel with no change in the drainage channel and where the existing crossing is by bridge. In this case, assuming the crossing would con- tinue to be by bridge,.the abutting p~operty'owner$ would pay an esti- mated cost of wtdeniqg the roadway to the extent,.required by the Sub- division Ordinance.. The City would assu~e the cost of widening the bridge structure and the remainder of the. roadway~ In the case of the Hopyard Road crossing of the Pleasanton Canal the case is complicated by the fact that the roadway must be lowered an~by the fact that the ultimate channel requirements are less than the existing and the bridge can be replaced with a box culvert. This is most unusual and will probably never happen again. In this case it appears that this should be treated like a new culvert crossing and the abutting owners would pay for the entire length of box culvert and for their share of the roadway as established by the Subdiv~sion Ordinance. Example five. The widening of a roadway across an existing drainage channel with a concurrent widening Of the drainage channel. This occurs where the Mocho crosses Santa Rita Road. In mos~ cases such as this the existing structnre cannot be saved and a totally new structure is involved. This would, therefore, be treated similarly%to'Example two if a bridge were involved. If it did happen to be a pipe or.box culvert that could be lengthened and widened or paralleled then the~abuttlng properties would be responsible as'in Example one or three. In some Cas~s, because of property ownership llnes~the adjacent property may be a yery small parcel while the actual con~ributlng development is a much larger area but not abutting either section of the roadwa~ and ~anal. An example of this is the Pleasanton Valley involvement in the Hopyard Road crossing' of the Pleasantoa Canal.. The adjoining property owner in this quadrant of"thR intersec[ion is quite small ~nd it would not be equitable to charge tht~ p~operty with one-quarter of the cost of replacing the structure.
