Nisich*�_ SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1 - LOCATED AT GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD AND SAN RAPHAEL DRIVE RESOLUTION NO. 94-67 RESOLUTION NO. 94-68 RESOLUTION NO. 94-69 Community Development Tract No. 48117 was required, as a condition of approval, to install certain improvements, which included portions of Golden Valley Road and enhanced landscaping adjacent to Golden Valley Road. In addition, the developer was required to establish a funding mechanism to ensure ongoing maintenance of the landscaped areas. The Council approved the formation of a landscape maintenance district on November 10, 1992 in compliance with project conditions. Each fiscal year, the City Council must determine the assessments for the parcels within the District. The initial step will be to adopt resolutions ordering the preparation of an Engineer's Report for Fiscal Year 1994-95 and approving the preliminary Engineer's Report with the Resolution Of Intention. This second resolution will also set the public hearing on the District for July 12, 1994. Upon the conclusion of the public hearing, the assessments will be confirmed and recorded. The landscaping was expected to be completed during the 1993-94 Fiscal Year and accepted by the City for maintenance. Assessments were collected last year so that the funds would be available when the landscaping was put in. However, the landscaping has not been completed on Golden Valley Road between Green Mountain Drive and the Antelope Valley Freeway. The City now has the funds from last year to begin maintenance as soon as the landscaping is in. No additional funds will need to be collected during this fiscal year. The landscape district is consistent with the City's policy of requiring landscape improvements for new developments and providing a fiscal mechanism to assure that the costs of long-term maintenance will not affect the City's other funding source. There is no Fiscal Impact to the City. All costs for maintenance and administration will be placed on the properties involved as yearly assessments. -- Adopteti:�1 Agenda Item: AGENDA - Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. May 24, 1994 - Page 2 RECOMMENDATION Adopt Resolution Nos. 94-67, 94-68, and 94-69, preliminarily approving the Engineer's Report, initiating proceedings and ordering the Engineer's Report with regard to LIVID No. 1 for Fiscal Year 1994-95 and declaring the City's intent to levy and collect annual assessments for LIVID No. 1, and setting a public hearing for June 14, 1994.
