6.3C Page 1 REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er June 28, 2010 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service - 787 Hillcrest Drive, in unincorporated San Mateo County, CA. RECOMMENDATION Approve, by resolution, a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCo) for extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries to 787 Hillcrest Drive, Redwood City, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND The property at 787 Hillcrest Drive (APN 058-272-080) is developed with an existing single family home and second unit. This parcel is located outside of Redwood City's jurisdictional boundaries, but is within the city's sphere of influence and water service area. It is currently served by a single water connection to the city water system. The owner of the parcel has applied to the County of San Mateo for approval to subdivide the lot and create a new parcel. The owner of the parcel would like to construct a new single family home on the new parcel. San Mateo County's condition of approval for this subdivision is an additional water connection and service from the City of Redwood City to serve the proposed residence. There is an existing 6-inch water main at the frontage of the property. Approval of the proposed subdivision and construction of the new residence will not require a water main extension. 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 787 Hillcrest Drive pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. LAFCo requires Council approval, by resolution, of requests that the city makes to LAFCo for new services. The proposed water service connection will serve the proposed single family residence at 787 Hillcrest Drive. The service is subject to the following conditions and fees. 1. LAFCo approval of the application for the proposed water service connection; 2. Property owner's payment of the city's water service annexation fees when request is made for service; 3. Property owner's payment of LAFCo fees; 4. 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 associated with providing proposed water service
