Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: BACKGROUND The property owner, Rick Hempy of 351 Virginia Way, is requesting connections to the City water and sewer systems to serve a proposed new lot located within the Remen Tract, which is outside the City limits. He currently has an approved Tentative Parcel Map with the County, which allows him to subdivide 351 Virginia Way into two lots. His existing residence on this parcel currently has City water and sewer services. In 1997, Hempy received approval from the City allowing for City water and sanitary sewer services for the existing dwelling at 351 Virginia Way. There is a Preannexation Agreement with the City for this parcel. The proposed parcel map at 351 Virginia Way is configured with two lots facing Virginia Way for a total of 1.52 acres. Parcel One is 20,919 square feet (0.48 acres) and Parcel Two is 45,108 square feet (1.04 acres). Parcel Two has the existing residence. As a requirement of the Preannexation Agreement, the applicant will submit house plans for Parcel One to the City for design review prior to the issuance of building permits by the County and encroachment permits for utility connections by the City. Proposed Improvements The applicant is proposing several subdivision improvements, which were recommended by staff. As part of this development, the applicant would extend the water main to the north end of Virginia Way, including the installation of a fire hydrant on Virginia Way. The new water main will improve the water system within the Remen Tract. There is an existing sanitary sewer main on Virginia Way, which was installed previously by Hempy. The applicant would also be required to pay a pro-rata share of future Virginia Way street improvements along his property frontage. These conditions have been added to the Preannexation Agreement. Preannexation and Provisions of Water and Sanitarv Sewer Agreement Historically, when an owner of a property located outside the City limits requests water and sewer services, the City has granted such requests only after determining that the use on the property to be serviced is consistent with the City's General Plan, and after receiving assurances that the property owner will enter into a preannexation agreement. This agreement allows the owner to connect to the City's water and sewer systems prior to the property being annexed to the City providing the following requirements are met: The property owner agrees to (a) pay the water and sewer connection fees, (b) pay all costs associated with the connection to and use of the water and sewer systems, (c) abandon the existing septic system on the property, (d) pay all City and County processing fees for LAFCo approval, (e) support any subsequent annexation initiative that may occur.
