Attachment 3 THE CITY OF 6A LLz 6.n. —s u n LEASANTON. City Council Staff Report December 3, 2002 Revises Report Dated November 19,2002 Public Works Department Planning Department SUBJECT: CITY POLICY FOR CONNECTION TO SEWER AND WATER SERVICES IN THE HAPPY VALLEY AREA STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Determine which of the options the Council wishes to use within the areas where laterals will be installed along Alisal Street and Sycamore Road. SUMMARY: Past policy has been to require annexation for sewer and water service. Exceptions, however, have been made for health/safety reasons, where pre-existing obligations exist, and, in the Remen Tract area, where pre-existing lots exist. The City has reviewed requests to serve existing development outside of the City limits on a case-by-case basis and in recent years has approved service connections (once authorized by City Council) by use of pre-annexation agreements. The Golf Course project will bring sewer/water laterals to properties (extended to the right-of-way only) along Alisal Street; and laterals already are installed within the street area along Sycamore Road. These two streets bear the traffic impacts of the Golf Course project until a bypass road is built. Council asked to revisit the connection policy within this area. Costs to connect to sewer and water services have been estimated to be approximately $34,000 to $50,000 for each residence along Alisal Street. In the written staff report to City Council at their meeting of November 19, it was indicated that this cost estimate was exclusive of connection fees. However, it has since been determined that this cost estimate includes connection fees as was verbally reported to Council at the meeting of November 19. This report has been modified to reflect that revision. SR:02:284 Revises SR 02:276 11/19/02 Page 1 of 10
