��To: Kathleen Blatz, City Attorney �� <br /> From: Michael P. Gaffron, Asst Planning & Zoning Administrator <br /> Date: March 25, 1987 <br /> Subject: Sewer Assessment Policy <br /> CASE IN POINT: A vacant property consisting of 4 separate tax parcels at <br /> 1290 Loma Linda Avenue was included in the 1970 LS-1 sewer district but was <br /> not serve �ri�� sewer. It is possible that this occurred because the <br /> property was under 2 or more different owners at the time. The lots are <br /> now under one owner and together meet the area and width standards of the <br /> LR-1B district to be a buildable property, except that sewer is not <br /> available. <br /> It appears technically feasible to extend a private 4" line a distance of <br /> 90' from the existing municipal sewer line to the property boundary. <br /> QOESTION: What is a fair, reasonable, and legal sewer connection charge to <br /> collect when we allow the property to connect to the municipal sewer? <br /> SIIPPORT DATA: <br /> - Original assessment for the 1970 LS-1 project was : <br /> $1,270.00/unit <br /> 7.8 0/f ront f oot <br /> 225. 00/unit plant charge (assessed for all existing <br /> houses at the time) <br /> - Total (non-inflated) assessment for the 4 lots if a stub had <br /> been provided and 1 unit assessed, would have been: <br /> [ $1,270 + (7. 80x200. 8 ' front feet) )= $2,836. 24 <br /> - Cost today of bringing a 90' stub to serve the property <br /> (estimate only) : $1, 000 - $2, 000 <br /> PROBLEM: 1987 fee schedule (portion attached) indicates only a $225.00 <br /> connection fee for the 1970-LS-1 District - but does not specify whether <br /> this is for previously assessed properties only or for all properties. . . <br /> The property is currently for sale; a potential buyer is requesting to know <br /> the dollar amount of the assessment or connection charge the City will <br /> require. Staff requests your input as to what connection charge can <br /> legally be required under the circumstances. We should discuss as a group <br /> as soon as possible. <br /> cc: Nar�cy Husnik, Legal Assistant <br /> John R. Gerhardson, Public Works Coordinator <br /> Jeanne A.
