Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND The property owners, Beverly and Ernie Trutner of 3631 Vine Street, are requesting connections to the City water and sewer systems to serve two proposed lots located within the Remen Tract, which is outside the City limits. The Trutners currently have an approved Tentative Parcel Map with the County, which allows them to subdivide their two existing parcels into three lots. On January 18, 2000, the former owner of these two parcels, Arlyne Mckee, received Council approval to connect her existing residence, 3631 Vine Street, to the City sewer system. However, her remaining parcel would not be allowed to be connected until such time there was a development plan for the property that the City could review. There is currently a Preannexation Agreement for these two parcels. The Trutners have subsequently purchased both parcels and have been working with the City and County over the past year to develop a plan that could be approved by both jurisdictions. Alameda County, Department of Environmental Health, restricts installation of septic systems when a lot is less than 40,000 square feet or a sanitary sewer main is within 200 feet of the property. These parcels could be served from the existing water and sewer mains on Vine Street. Zoning The County zoning designation for these parcels is R-l-B-10 (Single-Family Residence, 10,000 square foot minimum building site area) District. These two parcels total approximately 36,000 square feet and the proposed three lots would range from 10,003 to 13,911 square feet. Since the size of the lots are proposed for 10,000 square feet or greater, the City proposes to apply R-1-10,000 Zoning District regulations. However, the lots approved with the Tentative Map in the County are 78.15, 35.00, and 76.00 feet in width, which is less than 80.00 feet minimum required for R-l-10,000 Zoning District. Should these parcels annex some time in the future, the lot widths would be considered a pre-existing condition. It should be noted that about half the lots within the Remen Tract do not meet this criteria. The lots across the street are 76.00, 72.00, and 72.00 feet in width. This proposed development is configured with two of the lots facing Vine Street, Parcel One is 76.00 feet wide and Parcel Two is 78.15 feet wide. Parcel Three is located behind lots 1 and 2 with a 35-foot wide driveway access from Vine Street. As a requirement of the Preannexation Agreement, the applicant will submit house plans to the City for design review prior to the issuance of building permits by the County. SR 06:030 Page 2 of 4
