DESCRIPTION: In 1983, the City formed Landscaping and Lighting Assessment
District No. 83-2 for the purpose of maintaining landscaping within Tract 4719. The District originally
included Stagecoach Park and Stagecoach Road north of the City Limit, but now includes only roadway
landscaping along Stagecoach Road and on the "interior slopes" (Coral Way and Agate Way) within the
Dublin Hills Estates development. The maintenance cost for Stagecoach Park, as well as the undeveloped
Dougherty Bills Park, is paid by the City through the Park Maintenance Operating Budget and is not a part
of this Assessment District.
The cost of maintenance of the Stagecoach Road landscaping is spread 60%to the Amador Lakes
development(divided among the 552 condominium lots) and 40%to the Dublin Hills Estates development,
(divided among 150 single-family lots). All of the "interior slope" maintenance cost is spread evenly to the
150 single-family lots.
The estimated June 30, 1998, reserve for this District is projected to be$29,642. The actual reserve will
not be known until the City closes its books and accrues the necessary revenues and expenses. In the past,
portions of the reserve have been used for landscape renovations, particularly following the disastrous
freeze several years ago. In addition, a portion of the reserve has been used in recent years to keep the
assessment to property owners as low as possible. The level of service in this District has been tailored to
the available funds (i.e., low assessment,,small reserve) as much as possible rather than requesting to
increase the assessment in order to perform additional work. This District has quite a large landscaped
area which is supported by relatively few property owners.
For Fiscal Year 1998-99, no change is recommended with respect to the method'of determining the
assessments.. The District boundary remains the same.. The assessment to the single-family property
owners in the Dublin Hills Estates development is proposed to be$228.72 per single-family home. The
Amador Lakes Apartments property is proposed to be assessed at a rate of$38.68 per dwelling unit (or
$21,351.36 for the entire apartment development). This is the same as the 1997-98 assessment.
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolutions approving the preliminary Engineer's Report
and setting a public hearing date of July 21, 1998, for the purpose of hearing protests to the proposed
assessment.
