WATERSHED 3 REVIEW (SULLIVAN RANCH ANNEXATION)
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, reviewed for Board
Members the concep~ and development of the District's watershed plan
which had been adopted in 1962 for the Watershed 3 area, and which now
required revision. Uti11zing a map, Mr. Horstkotte explained in detail
a revised watershed plan to accommodate the area for sewer service.
Board Members and staff discussed the concept of the proposed new
Watershed 3 plan with Board Members indicating that staff's.plan for
providing sewering service should be limited to the area outside the
current approved "green belt" plan for the northwest Orinda area. Board
Members did not desire the District to be in the position of building
sewers that would have the necessary capacity to service this "green
belt" area. Further, that staff should incorporate specific provisions
in the plan regarding special rebate conditions to preclude rebates to
developers for sewer lines that violate the "green belt" area.
Mr. John A. Wollman. Consulting Engineer for the Sullivan Ranch
area, addressed the Board and explained that the development of the
Sullivan Ranch property would consist of 74 single family lots of one
to two acres in size. Mr. Wollman assured the Board Members that there
was no intention to infringe on the "green belt" area and that it was
planned to dedicate an additional 44 acres of the Sullivan Ranch as
"green belt" area.
After further discussion, it was the consensus of the Board that
the concept by staff for the new Watershed 3 plan was appropriate and
that staff would finalize the plan for submission to the Board at the
meeting of August ,2, 1973. Item continued.

ANNEXATION AND DETACHMENT POLICY
, Board Members and staff discussed Annexation and Detachment Policy,
particularly as it affects a l700 acre property located south of St.
Mary's College and north of Bollinger Canyon Road. The owners had
requested detachment from the District because, for the foreseeable
future, there were no plans to develop the property.
After dis~ussion regarding what conditions, if any, should be
imposed by the District by detachment of this 1700 acre property. it
was the consensus of the Board that, in the event of detachment. there
would be no commitment upon the District to approve reannexation of
properties if detached from the District.
Item was deferred one month to permit action by the Local Agency
Formation Commission. Item continued.

ment by Member Boneysteele that the District's Advisory Committee was
