Nisich {amu May 23, 1995 PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING SANTA CLARITA DRAINAGE ASSESSMENT AREA 18, TRACT NO. 44965 - ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 95-96 Community Development This item is to conduct the public information meeting which is required when an assessment is proposed to be increased. The City of Santa Clarita had previously established Drainage Benefit Assessment Area No. 18 on July 25, 1989, to provide maintenance of a subsurface drainage system constructed to ensure stability of the slopes and building pads for Tract No. 44965 (see attached report).. The proposition was submitted to the eligible voters in this area, and a majority of voters approved the formation of the District and the levying of the assessment. Each year thereafter, the City Council determines and imposes an annual assessment to cover the costs of maintaining the system. Geologic reports completed in April and December of 1994, and as part of the annual geologic evaluation, the City's geologist identified a ground water and ponding problem. A series of monitoring wells were installed to determine the locations and depths of water. The proposed solution and alternatives are still being evaluated and will be implemented when a satisfactory solution is agreed upon. The estimated assessment last year was $109.00 per unit. The estimated assessment for Fiscal Year 1995-96 is $159.00, the same as the adjacent assessment district, Area No. 6. The additional assessment will pay the costs to mitigate a high groundwater condition by installing dewatering devices and for other required major repairs to the existing system. The affected property owners have been notified by mail of the proposed increase in assessment and public hearing. RECOMMENDATION Conduct a public information meeting, and continue to the public hearing on July 11, 1995. ATTACHMENT Engineer's Report Exhibit "A" NED:hds wo dl1d18.ned. DRAINAGE BENEFIT ASSESSMENT AREA #18 - ENGINEER'S REPORT 1. Description of the Service The proposed service involves the maintenance and operation of the subsurface drainage system and pump station constructed for Tract No. 44965. Included also is the maintenance of the access road to the pump station, the fences and walls and appurtenances pertaining to the subdrain system. Tract No. 44965 is located near Soledad Canyon Road and Sierra Highway, in the City of Santa Clarita as shown on Exhibit "A." Maintenance and operation of the subsurface drainage facilities involves: 1) periodic inspection, monitoring and evaluations; 2) well and access shaft unclogging and clean out where necessary; 3) maintenance of the one pump station; 4) annual geologist review with a report and recommendations and 5) installation of dewatering devices and other mitigation measures. The estimated total annual cost to provide this maintenance is $45,156. r :•IW4V ME - The area located within the district boundaries shown on Exhibit "A' is the area of benefit, and the imposition of the benefit assessment will be restricted to this area. The basis of benefit was determined to be dwelling units, i.e., one dwelling unit = one benefit unit. Tract No. 44965 indicates there will be 284 dwelling units proposed. At this present time, many units have not been built; therefore, a proportional amount was levied upon each of the existing parcels. Assessor's parcel numbers with a zero assessment are common areas which will have no dwelling units on them. Drainage Benefit Assessment Area No. 18 is comprised of 284 dwelling units on 74 parcels as listed below. If changes occur in assessor's parcel numbers, the proposed assessment will be apportioned according to the basis of benefit. 3.
