PAGE 18 <br /> BENEFIT To THE PUBLIC AT LARGE=10% <br /> The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of <br /> time that the Maintenance District's public landscaped areas and facilities are used and <br /> enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in <br /> the Assessment Area. Based on surveys and research conducted by SCI, in which visitors <br /> to similar landscape, open space and parks, at various times of the day, evening, and week, <br /> were asked to look at a District map and to identify whether they lived or worked within the <br /> City, less than 5% of the use of similar landscape, open space, parks or recreation areas is <br /> by the public at large. When people outside the Maintenance District use landscape, open <br /> space, parks or recreation areas, they diminish the availability of such facilities for people <br /> within the Maintenance District. Therefore, another 5% of general benefits are allocated for <br /> people within the Maintenance District. Combining these two elements of general benefit, <br /> we find that 10% of the benefits from the Improvements are general benefits to the public at <br /> large. <br /> TOTAL GENERAL BENEFITS To BE FINANCIALLY CONTRIBUTED FROM OTHER FUNDS IS 10.0% <br /> Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately 10.0% <br /> of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be <br /> funded by sources other than the Assessments. <br /> General Benefit Calculation <br /> 0.0% (Outside the Maintenance District) <br /> + 0.0% (Inside the Maintenance District—indirect and derivative) <br /> + 10.0% (Public at Large) <br /> = 10.0% (Total General Benefit) <br /> SOURCE OF FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER FUNDS TO SATISFY THE 10.0% <br /> REQUIREMENT <br /> The general benefit contribution is paid in part from other "in-kind," non-monetary <br /> contributions from the City in the form of infrastructure critical to the continued maintenance <br /> of the Maintenance District Improvements, as described below. Also, general benefit <br /> contributions come from the "annuity" value of the improvements that were constructed by <br /> the developer. <br /> The City of Pleasanton owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces the curb and putter along <br /> the border of the Maintenance District.This curb and gutter serves to support,contain, retain, <br /> manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the Improvements. The <br /> contribution from the City of Pleasanton toward general benefit from the maintenance, <br /> rehabilitation, and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 10%, <br /> based upon the relative cost to construct and maintain this critical local infrastructure.
