REPORT 6.3A age 1 To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Ci Mana er December 7,2009 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service - 999 Godetia Drive, Town of Woodside, CA. RECOMMENDA liON Approve, by resolution, a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries to 999 Godetia Drive, Town of Woodside, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND The property at 999 Godetia Drive (APN 068-302-070 and 068-302-080) is a vacant lot located outside the Redwood City's jurisdictional boundaries and sphere of influence, but within the city's water service area. The owner of the parcel has applied to the Town of Woodside for approval to construct a new single family home. The proposed development requires a new water connection and service from City of Redwood City. There is an existing 2-inch water main at the frontage of the property. Approval of the proposed residence requires the property owner to replace the existing 2-inch water main with an a-inch water main from the existing 8-inch water main on Jefferson Avenue extending across their property frontage on Godetia Drive. The property owner is in the process of applying to the city for the permit to allow this work. The extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries is not a common occurrence. The infrequent addition of a residential connection is not anticipated to have any significant impact on the city's total water allotment. Staff recommends that the city request LAFCo's approval to extend water service outside jurisdictional boundaries to 999 Godetia Drive pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. LAFCo requires Council approval, by resolution, of requests that the city makes to LAFCo for extensions of service. The proposed water service extension will provide water connection and service to the proposed single family residence at 999 Godetia Drive. Service extension includes the installation of a new fire hydrant. 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 for all expenses related to processing, constructing, and connection of the proposed a-inch water main and fire hydrant. 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.
