The following conditions are included in the Preannexation Agreement: 1. Owner shall extend a new water main to the north end of Virginia Way from Vine Street. The new water main shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. The water main shall be installed prior to any new water or sewer connections for the proposed lot. 2. Owner shall install fire hydrant on Virginia Way. The City Fire Marshall and City Engineer shall approve the location and installation of the hydrant. The hydrant shall be installed prior to any new water or sewer connections for the proposed lot. 3. Owner shall agree to execute a deferred improvement agreement for future Virginia Way street improvements along the property frontage. The pro-rata share amount established in the agreement shall be subject to the review and approval of the City Engineer. The deferred improvement agreement shall be executed prior to any new water or sewer connections for the proposed lot. 4. Owner shall pay the City the difference between the City and County development impact fees for a single-family residence. The impact fees for comparing between the City and the County consist of Park-in-Lieu, Public Facilities, Lower Income, and Traffic Impact (local fee). The current difference in fees is $15,770. Conclusion The City normally requires that property annex to the City in order to receive City utility services. The subject parcels are contiguous to the City Limit boundary; however, it would require annexation of other parcels to make this a logical annexation. Should this parcel be included with a larger annexation, a number of issues would need to be addressed. There are 42 parcels within the unincorporated Remen Tract area and currently 24 preannexation agreements with the City. The issue of annexing the Remen Tract goes back over 25 years with the first request for City utilities. As with other efforts to annex this area, the City has not yet reached a consensus with the residents regarding such issues as infrastructure costs, land use policies, and the willingness to be annexed into the City. Annexation of the Remen Tract will require a number of neighborhood meetings to address concerns of the residents. At this time, staff recommends authorizing the water and sewer connection for the proposed lot, with an agreement to annex at some future date as part of a larger annexation area. The extension of City services shall be subject to LAFCo's approval. SR 06:141 Page 3 of 4
