<br />REPORT <br /> <br />6.28 <br />Page 1 <br /> <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City CQuncil <br />From the Ci. Mana. er <br /> <br />December 15,2008 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Water Connection and Service - 590 California Way, unincorporated San Mateo <br />County, CA. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Approve, by resolution, a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) <br />for extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries to 590 California Way, <br />unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />The property at 590 California Way (APN 068-172-260) is a vacant lot located outside <br />the city's jurisdictional boundaries, but within the city's water service area and sphere of <br />influence. The owner of the parcel has applied to San Mateo County for approval to <br />construct a new single family home. The proposed development requires a new water <br />connection and service from the city. The watermain located along the property's <br />frontage is eight inch (8") in diameter and adequately sized to service the new <br />residence. <br /> <br />The extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries is not a common <br />occurrence. The infrequent addition of a residential connection is not anticipated to <br />have any significant impact on the city's total water allotment. <br /> <br />Staff recommends that the city request LAFCo's approval to extend water service <br />outside jurisdictional boundaries to 590 California Way pursuant to Government Code <br />Section 56133. LAFCo requires Council approval, by resolution, of requests that the <br />city makes to LAFCo for extensions of service. The proposed water service extension <br />will provide water connection and service to the proposed single family residence at 590 <br />California Way. Extension of service is subject to the following conditions and fees. <br />1. LAFCo approval of the application for the proposed extension of water service; <br />2. Property owner's payment of the city's water service annexation fees when request <br />is made for service extension; <br />3. Property owner's payment of LAFCo fees; <br />4. After approval of the construction drawings by the San Mateo County Building <br />Department and upon application for new water service, property owner's payment <br />of all applicable Redwood City fees, including connection fees and construction <br />costs associated with providing proposed water service extension. <br /> <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />Council may choose not to approve application to LAFCo for the extension of service <br />which would result in the denial of water connection and service to the proposed single <br />family residence. <br /> <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact to the city. <br />
