BACKGROUND The property at 1005 Lakeview (APN 057 - 270 -030) is developed with an existing single family home. The parcel is located outside Redwood City's jurisdictional boundaries, but is within the City's sphere of influence and water service area. It is currently serviced by a single water connection to the City water system. The owner of the lot has applied to the County of San Mateo for approval to subdivide the lot creating two parcels: Parcel 1 and Parcel 2, and construct the two new residences. The existing water service is located at and will continue to serve Parcel 2. ANALYSIS The Property is located within Redwood City Water Service Area; and there is no other public water purveyor in the area. Redwood City is obligated to serve properties within the Redwood City Water Service Area. City must receive LAFCO approval to provide water service to Parcel 1. The Property owner will construct an eight inch water main extension along the entire frontage of the two new parcels and connect to the nearest six inch or larger water main, pursuant to City Code Section 38.26. LAFCO requires Council's action, by resolution, for requests made for new services. Staff recommends that the City request LAFCO's approval to extend water service outside City boundaries, but within the City's water service area, pursuant to Government Code Section 56133. The water service connection proposed for the new single family residence at 1005 Lakeview Way 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;
