THE CITY OF CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT V pL EASANTONo August 18, 2015 Community Development Planning Division TITLE: CONSIDER REQUEST FOR A PREANNEXATION AGREEMENT AND WATER AND SEWER CONNECTIONS FOR 753 SYCAMORE ROAD (BOGGS/JUNG) SUMMARY The property owners of 753 Sycamore Road are requesting that water and sewer service be established to serve their existing to-be-expanded residence located within the Happy Valley Specific Plan area outside City limits. Alameda County's Department of Environmental Health (DEH) has determined the existing septic system is inadequate to provide service to an expanded home. In addition, the water quality of the groundwater underlying Happy Valley has been adversely affected by nitrate contamination. DEH also restricts repairs or installation of new septic systems when a sanitary sewer main is within 200 feet of the property. Therefore, the property owners are requesting connection to the City sewer system to eliminate the use of their septic system and to allow for a future connection to the City water system. Prior to allowing a property located within the County to connect to the City water and sewer systems, the City requires the property owner to enter into a preannexation agreement. If the pre- annexation agreement is approved, the City must apply for and receive on the owner's behalf an "out-of-service area" agreement from the Alameda County Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo). The Livermore-Amador Valley Water Management Agency (LAVWMA) may also require approval of the connection. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve the preannexation agreement between Boggs/Jung and the City of Pleasanton, subject to modifications approved by the City Manager and City Attorney, and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement. 2. Authorize staff to file an application with LAFCo for the extension of water and sewer service to this parcel and authorize staff to seek LAVWMA approval, if needed, of the connection. 3. Authorize connection of the Boggs/Jung parcel located at 753 Sycamore Road (APN 949-0006-007-04) to the City water and sanitary sewer system, provided: all connection work is done to the satisfaction of the City Engineer; all costs are borne by the property owners; and the proposed extension of City services is approved by LAFCo, and LAVWMA, if needed.
