PAGE 18 BENEFIT To THE PUBLIC AT LARGE=10% The general benefit to the public at large can be estimated by the proportionate amount of time that the Maintenance District's public landscaped areas and facilities are used and enjoyed by individuals who are not residents, employees, customers or property owners in the Assessment Area. Based on surveys and research conducted by SCI, in which visitors to similar landscape, open space and parks, at various times of the day, evening, and week, were asked to look at a District map and to identify whether they lived or worked within the City, less than 5% of the use of similar landscape, open space, parks or recreation areas is by the public at large. When people outside the Maintenance District use landscape, open space, parks or recreation areas, they diminish the availability of such facilities for people within the Maintenance District. Therefore, another 5% of general benefits are allocated for people within the Maintenance District. Combining these two elements of general benefit, we find that 10% of the benefits from the Improvements are general benefits to the public at large. TOTAL GENERAL BENEFITS TO BE FINANCIALLY CONTRIBUTED FROM OTHER FUNDS IS 11.9% Using a sum of these three measures of general benefit, we find that approximately 11.9% of the benefits conferred by the Improvements may be general in nature and should be funded by sources other than the Assessments. General Benefit Calculation 1.9% (Outside the Maintenance District) + 0.0% (Inside the Maintenance District—indirect and derivative) + 10.0% (Public at Large) = 11.9% (Total General Benefit) SOURCE OF FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTIONS FROM OTHER FUNDS TO SATISFY THE 11.9% REQUIREMENT The general benefit contribution is paid in part from other "in-kind," non-monetary contributions from the City in the form of infrastructure critical to the continued maintenance of the Maintenance District Improvements, as described below. Also, general benefit contributions come from the "annuity" value of the improvements that were constructed by the developer. The City of Pleasanton owns, maintains, rehabilitates and replaces the curb and gutter along the border of the Maintenance District.This curb and gutter serves to support,contain, retain, manage irrigation flow and growth, and provide a boundary for the Improvements. The contribution from the City of Pleasanton toward general benefit from the maintenance, rehabilitation, and replacement of the curb and gutter is conservatively estimated to be 10%, based upon the relative cost to construct and maintain this critical local infrastructure.
