REPORT 6.3A Page 1 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From thee, .,Maoa er January 7, 2008 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service - 647 Acacia Lane, Woodside, CA. RECOMMENDATION Approve, by resolution, a request to Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries to 647 Acacia Lane, Woodside, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND Currently, 647 Acacia Lane is comprised of two parcels (APN 057-153-180 and APN 057-153-460), which are outside the City's jurisdictional boundaries but within the City's water service area and sphere of influence. Redwood City has provided water service to the existing residence on one of two parcels at this address since at least 1995. Further development of the additional parcel at 647 Acacia Lane requires an additional connection and service from the City. The County of San Mateo is processing a request to merge the two existing parcels, a proposed subdivision to create two new parcels, and a proposed new single family home that requires water service from the City. Approval of a proposed subdivision requires the property owner to replace the existing 2-inch watermain with an a-inch watermain. The property owner has recently applied to the City for the permit to replace the watermain. Staff recommends that the City request LAFCo approval to extend water service outside jurisdictional boundaries pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. LAFCo requires COl,ilncil approval, by resolution, of requests that the City makes to L.AFCo for extensions of service. The proposed water service extension will provide water connection and service to the newly subdivided lot located at 647 Acacia Lane. Extension of service is subject to the following conditions and fees. 1. LAFCo approval of the application for the proposed extension of water service; 2. Property owner's payment of the City's water service annexation fees when request is made for service extension; 3. Property owner's payment of LAFCo fees; 4. Property owner's payment of all expenses related to processing, constructing, and connecting the proposed 8-inch watermain; 5. After approval of the construction drawings by the San Mateo County Building Department and upon application for new water service, property owner's payment of all applicable Redwood City fees, including connection fees, and construction costs associated with providing proposed water service extension. ALTERNATIVES Council may choose not to approve application to LAFCo for the extension of service which would result in the denial of water connection and service to a newly subdivided lot. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact to the City.
