CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLEASANTON <br /> <br /> ALAMEDA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA <br /> <br /> RESOLUTION NO. 99-013 <br /> <br /> RESOLUTION APPROVING THE "SUBCOST METHOD" <br /> FOR ALLOCATION OF WATER AND SEWER <br /> INFRASTRUCTURE COSTS FOR THE HAPPY VALLEY <br /> AREA DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN DEVELOPED AND <br /> UNDEVELOPED PROPERTIES <br /> <br />WHEREAS, at its meeting of February 16, 1999, the City Council reviewed the report of the <br /> Director of Public Works (SR 99:41) which presented various methods of <br /> allocating water and sewer in~'astructure costs for the Happy Valley area; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, a public hearing was held and Council received testimony regarding cost allocation <br /> strategies; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, under one such method, proposed by the Alisal Improvement Club (AIC) Board, <br /> the core water and sewer system that will be installed as part of the City's <br /> development of the golf course would be paid by property owners with <br /> undeveloped property (including the City as the developer of the golf course), with <br /> property owners with developed property paying only an incremental amount for <br /> upsizing the core systems in order to accommodate developed properties; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, under the AIC Board's method, property owners with developed property would <br /> on average save $12,890 when compared to a method where there is no <br /> differentiation between developed and undeveloped properties using the core <br /> systems to be constructed; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, using the AIC Board's approach would (1) result in new development paying <br /> entirely for its needed infrastructure improvements because the infrastructure is <br /> needed for new development, (2) compensate property owners with developed <br /> property for the impacts and inconvenience caused by the construction to install <br /> the infrastructure, (3) make water and sewer connections more affordable to the <br /> property owners with developed properties, (4) encourage property owners with <br /> marginal septic tank systems to connect to the City system, thereby promoting <br /> public health and safety and (5) provide an incentive for property owners in the <br /> Happy Valley Specific Plan area to annex to the City; <br /> <br /> <br />
