SUBJECT; SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1
LOCATED AT GOLDEN VALLEY ROAD AND SAN RAPHAEL DRIVE -
ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 95-96
RESOLUTION NO. 95-62
DEPARTMENT: Community Development
This is a public hearing item to consider comments regarding the proposed assessments for
Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No.1 and to approve the final Engineer's Report
and authorize the levy of the assessments.
BACKGROUND
On May 23, 1995, the resolution initiating the proceedings for Santa Clarita Landscape
Maintenance District No. 1 (the District), and the resolution declaring the City's intention to
levy assessments for the District on the tax rolls for fiscal year 1995-96 were approved, along
with the approval of the Preliminary Engineer's Report, and call for a Public Hearing. The final
Engineer's Report is attached and is also on file with the City Clerk.
Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1 was formed for the maintenance of
landscaping along Golden Valley Road from the Antelope Valley Freeway west to Green
Mountain Drive. Maintenance includes all upkeep, water,electrical, repairs/replacements, and
all administrative costs associated with the District landscaping. When the other projects along
Golden Valley Road develop, they will annex to this District.
In 1993, it was estimated that the improvements would be installed within six months, and the
fiscal year 1993-94's assessment of the $9,200.88 was to cover the maintenance costs for this
period with an additional six months of expenses to establish a reserve fund for future
expenditures. The assessment for fiscal year 93-94 was $88.47 for each of the 111 parcels in the
District. However, the landscaping has not been completed, approved by the City or accepted
for maintenance. The funds will carry over to fiscal year 1995-96, and the proposed assessment
this year is $0.00, the same as it was last year.

The law provides that the total cost shall be assessed proportionally to each individual parcel

by the City of Santa Clarita Planning Commission, the developer, Amcal Diversified Corp. is
required to provide landscape improvements along Golden Valley Road shown on the diagram
for Santa Clarita Landscape Maintenance District No. 1. The District is to provide for the
maintenance and servicing of the landscape improvements and all incidentals thereto. Since
this project is one development, the properties within the development each receive full benefit
from the improvements, i.e., maintenance and servicing. Therefore, because each parcel
benefits equally, the benefit should be proportioned to the number of lots to be created by the
development.
