ENGINEER'S REPORT LAUREL CREEK ESTATES GEOLOGIC HAZARD ABATEMENT DISTRICT Section 1. Introduction. This Engineer's Report provides the justification and rationale for the proposed assessment for the Laurel Creek Estates Geologic Hazard Abatement District CGHAD"). The Engineer's Report has been prepared by a registered professional engineer certified by the State of California and as such, it complies with the requirements of Section 4(b) of Article XIII D of the California Constitution. The 271-acre Laurel Creek Estates subdivision is located on a north-facing slope bounded by Foothill Road to the east and Dublin Canyon Road to the north in Pleasanton, California. Access to the subdivision is from either Foothill Road or Dublin Canyon Road. Laurel Creek Estates is subdivided into 100 single-family residential lots, Tract 6400 and Tract 6590, and will be known as The Preserve. Section 2. Special Benefits. Each of the parcels identified on the map attached as Exhibit 1 will receive a particular and distinct benefit in the form of GHAD facilities and services which are over and above the general benefits received by the general public. Specifically, the GHAD will (a) maintain surface and sub surface drainage facilities to prevent certain geologic hazards within the GHAD, and (b) establish a reserve to fund, mitigate, abate or control those geologic hazards within the GHAD. The special benefits are more fully set forth in the Laurel Creek Estates Plan of Control ("POC"), attached as Exhibit 2. As discussed more fully in Section 6 below, the special benefit derived from the GHAD by each parcel is proportionate to the entire costs of the GHAD, and the amount of the assessment is proportional to, and no greater than, the benefits conferred on each parcel.
