f. agree to (or vote in favor if) any future proposed annexation of the property to the City; g. obtain City design review approval for any future addition or alteration to the property requiring a building permit from the County; h. agree to not subdivide the property; i. pay all City and County processing fees for LAFCo: j. obtain approval of LAVWMA, as applicable. As part of the request, the property owner submitted an inspection report for the existing septic tank system, prepared by Al Tank Service dated September 17, 2021 . The inspection report states the existing septic system failed flow test and recommends troubleshooting the existing drain field. Staff was informed the property owners purchased the existing three-bedroom residence in 2020 and wish to expand the existing residence for their growing family. After having become aware of the required process to connect to the City's systems, the owners' representative contacted ACDEH for installation of a secondary septic system to support the contemplated expansion. The ACDEH has historically supported conversion of septic systems to connections to sewer systems if they are readily available to the project site. The ACDEH reviewed the conditions of the existing on-site system, and made a recommendation on May 14, 2021 and again on January 19, 2022 for the site to abandon the existing septic system and connect to the City's sanitary sewer system. The City's utility system shows water and sanitary sewer lines are located in Amber Lane directly in front of the site. Engineering Department staff indicates the sanity sewer line and the water line have the capacity to handle the anticipated water usage and wastewater discharge from the existing residence. As the existing residence would remain as a single-family home with or without an addition and the City system has the capacity to serve, staff does not object to the request to connect to the City's water system. Staff recommends the City Council approve the request and authorize the City Manager to execute a preannexation agreement with the property owner including the service provisions listed in Res. 17-961 . The draft preannexation agreement (Attachment 1) includes language reflecting these provisions. If the Council approves the requested connections, a hearing must be scheduled before LAFCo. While per Cal. Government Code §56133 the City's past practice has been to apply to LAFCo on behalf of the property owner located outside of City limits, the applicant will be asked to submit their request to the LAFCo Board. Staff has shared Res. 17-961 with the property owner; no objection to any of its requirements was received. Additionally, City staff conferred with LAFCo staff, who support the requested sanitary sewer connection for health and safety reasons due to the failing septic system and the availability of City sanitary sewer service. LAFCo staff does not express concerns for the requested water connection. In addition to LAFCo's approval on service extensions, the request needs to be supported by LAVWMA. In November 2018, the LAVWMA Board of Directors preapproved up to ten (10) extensions each in the unincorporated Happy Valley and Page 4 of 5
