The proposed assessment for the upcoming Fiscal Year is yet to be calculated and will be presented to the City Council at the time that approval of the preliminary Engineer's Report is requested. DESCRIPTION: Taylor Woodrow Homes, the developer of the Clifden Parc 17-lot subdivision (formerly called "Gleason Property") in the western hills, requested that the City allow decorative lighting in lieu of the standard "cobra head" street lighting. Staff.agreed to allow use of the decorative lighting that is installed in the Dublin Ranch development, with the condition that the subdivision be annexed into the separate street light maintenance assessment district that was formed for Dublin Ranch. The City Attorney has recommended that the Clifden Parc subdivision be a second "zone" of the assessment district and that the 17 lots support the cost of maintaining the 13 lights that have been installed. It is proposed that the costs for Zone II be included in the Engineer's Report for the existing assessment district 99-1 and be subject to the same stipulations; i.e., formulated to include future escalation of costs based on inflationary increases in labor and material costs, as well as the cost of energy. The cost per single-family lot in Tract 7067 will be somewhat higher than the cost per lot for Dublin Ranch, as the ratio of lights to lots is higher. gSassessdist\99-1 z2\agstfrml COPIES TO: Tony Craig, Taylor-Woodrow Homes Jay Egy, DeSilva Group ITEM NO. ~ It is further proposed that the Homeowner's Association agree to establish a fund for major repairs or knockdowns through the CC&R's, as the amortization of major costs would make the assessment per individual homeowner too high. The incidence of major repairs is generally low and may not occur every year, but the funds must be budgeted as a contingency. The proposed assessment for the upcoming Fiscal Year will depend on the estimated date that the City would assume maintenance of the lights. The proposed assessment will be presented to the City Council at the time that the Preliminary Engineer's Report is brought back for approval. The schedule for formation of this assessment district provides that Staff will return to the City Council at the June 6th meeting with a resolution of intention for formation of the District. This process requires a 45-day public hearing notice, which means that the first opportunity for a public hearing would be the August 1st meeting. This is consistent with the timing for the annual assessment district hearings. Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution initiating proceedings for annexation of Zone II of Landscaping and Lighting Assessment District No. 99-1.
