__ ._ .(�.2 _ I REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager September 13, 2004 Subject Sanitary Sewer Connection and Service - 970 Upland Road Recommendation Adopt a resolution approving and authorizing sanitary sewer connection and service to 970 Upland Road (unincorporated area of San Mateo County), in accordance with Redwood City Code, Chapter 27, Sanitary Sewerage Facilities, Section 27.53 — Inter- area Connections, subject to the following conditions and fees; 1. That Council adopt this resolution as recommended; 2. That LAFCo approves the application for the subject connection; 3. That property owners extend the sewer main in Upland Road and make connection in accordance with City Standards, at their own expense; 4. That property owners pay a Wastewater Treatment Capacity Fee; 5. That property owners pay a Sewer System Capital Facilities Fee; 6. That property owners pay for all expenses related to processing this connection, and directing staff to submit an application to LAFCo for said extension. Background Pursuant to the Redwood City Municipal Code Section 27.53, staff is prohibited from authorizing any sewer connection to serve premises located outside of the City's limits. These connections are only authorized by Council after finding the existence of exceptional and extraordinary conditions affecting such premises. This property is located at 970 Upland Road, and two of the property lines define the City/County limits. The property is currently on a septic system, which is showing signs of failure. The San Mateo County Health Services Agency has determined that this failure is a hazard to public health, and the County has no collection system to serve the area. The Uniform Plumbing Code also prohibits the repair of such existing septic systems, when there is a collection system within 200 feet. The owners have expressed the desire to connect to the Redwood City sewer system, which has a collection system about 100 feet from the property line. They are aware of the conditions, and wish to proceed. The owners also have demolished the house, and are in the initial process of building a new one under the permit and design standards applicable to the County. Page 1 of 2
