" - o o June 29. 1992 File No. 14.40-94 ENGINEER'S REPORT CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO PROPOSED ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO.I007 PEPPER AND RANDALL AREA LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT o o CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO ENGINEER'S REPORT ASSESSMENT DISTRICT NO. 1007 PETITION -- On April 1, 1992, this office received a petition from R.L. Construction for the establishment of an assessment district for the maintenance of landscaping for Tentative Tract No. 15315 delineated on the attached vicinity map. This petition was the result of a requirement placed upon these Tracts by the City to relieve the Department of Parks and Recreation from having to maintain the areas. AUTHORIZATION TO PROCEED -- On April 20, 1992, notification of this petition was presented to you by this office and the City Engineer and City Clerk were authorized to initiate proceedings under the provisions of Chapter 12.90 of the San Bernardino Municipal Code and the City Engineer was directed to prepare this report. ADVANCE OF ESTIMATED COSTS -- On April 22, 1992 and pursuant to Chapter 12.94.030 of the Municipal Code, the developer was requested to deposit the estimated cost of $4,000.00 to cover the cost of the proceedings. The deposit was received on May I, 1992 and was deposited into the proper account from which to draw the actual costs of proceedings, If the actual costs are less than the deposit, then the remainder will be returned to the developer and if the actual costs are more than the deposit, then the remainder can either be paid in a lump sum by the developer or assessed against the properties involved. HASEKENTS --Although the property is presently undeveloped. when the Tracts are recorded. certain easements for Landscape Maintenance Purposes will be granted on the Tract Maps to the City to allow the district to maintain the areas which are outside the dedicated rights of way as the district cannot function on private property. The easements also include areas. of setback maintenance, as described below. DESCRIPTION OF IKPROVllKENTS The improvements to be maintained include a strip of ground cover and trees on the East side of Pepper Avenue and the West side of Meridian Avenue for the entire distance within the boundaries of the district. AREAS OF SETBACK MAINTENANCE -- Areas of setback maintenance include. but are not limited to the maintenance of front and side yards within the setback area. These areas will only be maintained in the event of owner neglect and the costs for such maintenance will be assessed against each respective parcel. The setback includes the slope area adjacent to the Flood Control Channel within the District. Engineer's Report - AD 1007 o o Page 2 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS --Plans and Specifications for the landscaping are being prepared by the developer and must be approved by the Department of Parks and Recreation and must provide for separate watering systems, electric and water meters which can be monitored and billed directly to the assessment district for inclusion into the annual assessment rolls after a one year plant guarantee period by the developer. DESCRIPTION OF BOUNDARIES -- On April 1, 1992, the boundaries of the proposed district were determined and are delineated on the attached Proposed Boundary Map of Assessment District No. 1007. The properties involved presently are portions of Town of Rialto and Adjoining Subdivisions. The boundaries of the proposed district are as follows: The centerline of Pepper Avenue on the West, the centerline of Meridian Avenue on the East, San Bernardino County Flood Control District property on the South and the South lines of Tracts 12775 and 6869 on the North. The boundaries also include San Bernardino County Flood Control property, which will Dot be assessed. VICINITY MAP -- The vicinity map is attached as Exhibit 1. DISTRICT BOUNDARY MAP -- A reduced copy of the District Boundary Map is attached as Exhibit 2. METHOD OF ASSESSMENT --Landscaping and its proper maintenance enhances the esthetics of any given area and the benefit received by the owners of properties in the area is determined to be equal to the number of households who utilize the landscaped areas either as ingress and egress to the households or by actual physical use of the land as in the case of "open areas". The boundaries of the proposed district are drawn with this in mind and the Resolution of Intention delineates the specific areas of maintenance which will benefit all of the properties within the boundaries. ' Hence, each residential unit, be it a single family residence, a condominium or an apartment will be assessed an equal share in the cost of maintenance (1 residential unit - 1 assessment). Under a situation where vacant land is included within the district, the property will be arbitrarily divided into 7,200 square foot lots minus 25% of the area for anticipated future streets and will be assessed accordingly. When the property actually subdivides, it will be assessed on the 1 residential unit - 1 assessment basis. METHOD OF FINANCING -- When the landscaping is actually in place and has been maintained in good order by the developer for the one (1) year plant guarantee period, the assessment district will take over the maintenance and will let contracts therefor on a fiscal year basis. The fiscal year basis is for assessment purposes as the County Tax Rolls are prepared on the same basis. The City will pay the costs of the annual contract in advance and will be reimbursed each year through assessments, plus interest, and collected on the annual County Tax bills. Eventually, these costs will come from the City's Assessment District Reserve Fund, presently they come from the General Fund. Engineer's R~port - AD 1Uu7 ~~ U o Page J ASSESSMENT ROLL -- Presently there are 4 vacant parcels liable to be assessed which constitute 80 family units according to formula. When the Tract is complete, there will be 58 assessments. The proposed assessment roll has been prepared to reflect the first assessment (cost of proceedings only). attached as Exhibit 3 and prepared to reflect the estimated maintenance and administration cost for one year. attached as Exhibit 4. Although the assessment roll as attached represents the vacant land. when built out each assessment would be estimated at $91 each for subsequent years. BONDS -- No bonds are to be sold on this proposed assessment district. The costs will be prepaid by the City and the assessments will be collected on the County Tax bill annually based on actual annual costs incurred for the maintenance and administration of the district plus interest.
