Cushman PUBLIC HEARING DATE: June 24, 1997 SUBJECT: SANTA CLARITA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 1, ZONE NOS. ONE THROUGH FIVE - ANNUAL ASSESSMENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997-98 RESOLUTION NO. 97-78 DEPARTMENT: Building & Engineering Services 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. All proposed assessments are in compliance with Proposition 218 and are the same as last year. On May 27, 1997, the resolution initiating the proceedings for Zone Nos. 1 through 5 within 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 1997-98 were approved, along with the preliminary approval of the Engineer's Report and call for a Public Hearing. The Engineer's Report is on file with the City Clerk. Zone One consists of the lots within Tract No. 48117. This tract was required, as a condition of approval, to install certain improvements, including portions of Golden Valley Road and enhanced landscaping adjacent to this street. 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. Due to delays in the construction of Golden Valley Road, the landscaping installation is still not completed, and therefore no assessments have been necessary for maintenance purposes. The original approved rate is $88.47 per parcel, and that amount remains as the maximum rate for this District. However, for the 1997-98 fiscal year, there will be a zero assessment collected because there are adequate funds necessary for the coming year if the improvements are completed soon. Also, recent discussions with the Montecito. Homeowner's Association representatives have resulted in a tentative agreement that they will maintain this landscaping in conjunction with their landscaping in the immediate area. This zone was originally Adopted: - 2-4 -a Item..'

The total annual assessment amount required to maintain the landscaping will be $33,188.00, or $436.68 per lot, and remains unchanged from last year.
