6.2.B. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er November 5, 2012 SUBJECT Water Connection and Service — 35 Agua Vista Court, in unincorporated San Mateo County, CA RECOMMENDATION Approve, by resolution, a request to the Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) for extension of water services outside jurisdictional boundaries to 35 Agua Vista Court, in unincorporated San Mateo County, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. BACKGROUND The property owner of 35 Agua Vista Court (APN 068-081-520) wishes to construct a new single family residence on the vacant parcel. The parcel is located in the unincorporated part of San Mateo County, outside of Redwood City's jurisdictional boundaries, but is within the city's sphere of influence and water service area. The owner of the parcel has applied to the County of San Mateo for a building permit to construct the proposed residence and, as a condition of approval; the county requires the property owner to secure a new water connection and service from the City of Redwood City. The city must receive LAFCO approval to provide water service from the 6-inch water main that currently exists along the frontage of 35 Agua Vista Court. Service extension includes the installation of a new fire hydrant at a maximum distance of five hundred (500) feet from the proposed residence, as directed by the Woodside Fire Department. ANALYSIS The extension of water service outside jurisdictional boundaries is not a frequent occurrence. The occasional 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 the City's jurisdictional boundaries to 35 Agua Vista Court pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. LAFCO requires Council's authorization, by resolution, of requests made for new services. The water service connection proposed for the single family residence at 35 Agua Vista Court 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 LAFCO fees; 3. 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; 4. Property owner's payment of the city's water service annexation fees;
