6.P. - Page 4 of 24 <br />►_[el muua>I <br />The owner has signed a proposed agreement that would obligate the owner to pay for the construction <br />and maintenance of sanitary sewer improvements and appurtenances required by the City for sewer <br />service to their property. Upon execution by the City, the agreement would be recorded against the <br />Property. The agreement obligates the property owner to construct the extension of sewer pipeline from <br />the City's existing wastewater collection system to their property. <br />The agreement also obligates the property owner to maintain the facilities that are outside of the City's <br />jurisdiction. The facilities outside of the City's jurisdiction are privately owned and are referenced as <br />"private improvements" in the agreement. These private improvements function as a sewer service <br />lateral to the single family home and thus no other property may connect to such facility. <br />The City would own and operate the additional sewers that are constructed within the City limits, which <br />is consistent with municipal sewer service provided by the City elsewhere within the City's jurisdiction. <br />ADDITIONAL APPROVALS <br />If the City allows the connection, the Town of Woodside would need to permit the construction of the <br />sewer extension to the Property. Town of Woodside staff have indicated they do not object to the City <br />providing service to the Property. <br />LAFCo must also approve of the City providing sewer services as the subject Property is outside of the <br />City's jurisdictional limits. Included with this Staff Report is a draft resolution requesting that LAFCo <br />approve the City providing sewer services outside of the City's jurisdictional limits pursuant to <br />Government Code Section 56133. <br />The property owner is obligated to obtain any and all approvals necessary for the sewer extension to be <br />constructed and maintained. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />If the City Council chooses to authorize staff to process the sewer connection permit application, the <br />applicant will pay all associated connection fees at the time permit is processed. Monthly sewer service <br />charges will be collected after service is provided consistent with utility billing procedures within the City's <br />jurisdiction for utility customers. There will be additional operational and maintenance costs for the <br />extension of the wastewater collection system that are within the City, which would be offset by the <br />monthly sewer charge the resident would pay. The maintenance agreement with the property owner <br />obligates the owner to pay for the operational and maintenance cost for the remainder of the sewer <br />extension. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br />The construction of a sewer main extension and sewer connection would be categorically exempt under <br />CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15303(d) for construction of new utility extensions to one <br />single family home. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />539 <br />
