Improvement District No. 54, Schedule 2, work and code specifications
specify majority installation of 6-inch sewer lines and that use of these
lines be restricted solely to property owners of Local Improvement District
No. 54, Schedule 2 area, and to future public users that may c~nnect to the

the District, stated that prior to official adoption by the Board of
Environmental Impact Report. Local Improvement District No. 54, Schedule

should be incorporated in the final ErR along with staff response.
President Rustigian invited comments from the audience.
Mr. Manfred Lindner addressed the Board and stated that he was not
a resident of LID No. 54, Schedule 2 area but spoke as an interested
person. Mr. Lindner stated that through cooperation of District staff,
he had inspected installation of 6 and 8 inch sewer lines in terrain
similar to the Schedule 2 area and was personally convinced that instal-
lation of sewer lines would not cause lasting or irreparable damage to
the Schedule 2 area. Mr. Lindner commented that he had reviewed the ErRS,
LID No. 54, Schedules land 3, and that, except for minor points, they
were almost identical with Schedule 2. Mr. Lindner inquired if this
, similarity of EIRs violated the law or its intention.
Members Boneysteele and Mitchell and Mr. Laster responded to Mr.
Lindner's comments with Mr. Laster stating that District Ordinance
provides for similarity in the preparation of EIRs.
Mr. Lindner then offered critical comments regarding pages 9 and 27
of EIR, Schedule 2, and made reference in his comments to Articles 9 and
lO, Sections l5143g (The Growth-Inducing Impact of the Proposed Action)
and 15164 (Public ParticipatioN of the California Environmental Quality
Act of 1970. He indicated that he had been unaware of the Board's meeting
on August 16,1973, when the Board held its public hearing on EIR, Schedule
2. He was, however, notified by staff of the meeting this date.
Mrs. Joan deBellis commented that she also had received no notification
of the public hearing held on August 16,1973, for the EIR, Schedule 2.
After discussion by Board Members and staff, staff was requested to
implement as a policy of the Board, appropriate administrative procedures
to ensure that all interested persons concerned with EIRs receive advance
notification of proposed hearings on EIRs.
Mr. L. T. David, P. O. Box 656, Danville, California, commented that
the EIR, Schedule 2, does not contain reference to quality of work that
must be performed in order 'to adequately preserve the environment.
Board Members and staff discussed the comments by Mr. David with
reference to incorporating District work specifications where appropriate
in EIRs.
In response to query by Mr. Tony deBellis, 23l Kuss Road, Danville.
California, Mr. Laster stated that the District was required to post and
publish notice of public improvements twenty days in advance of a scheduled
public hearing. Mr. Horstkotte then explained for the benefit of Mr.
deBellis the District's Water Reclamation and Treatment Plant Project.
Mary McIntyre, 528 Clipper Hill Road, Danville, California, addressed
the Board and stated that she was opposed to the installation of sewers
in the LID No. 54, Schedule 2 area, because they would foster further
development and cause an adverse effect on animals and the environment.
, Mr. David Bullock, l360 Pine Tree Drive, Alamo. California, stated
that he owned property in the LID NO. 54, Schedule 2 area. and that he
supported the installation of sewers.

Mr. Jack Van Zanten, 100 Oak View Terrace, Danville, California. stated
that he owned property in the Schedule 2 area, and that in 1969, after
being granted a temporary septic tank permit, he had originally supported
the installation of sewers in the area. However, he was now opposed.
Mr. Van Zanten objected to the number of units of assessment assigned to
his parcel and suggested installation of private sewage systems to service
the area vice a public system which would foster further development of
the area.
Discussion followed with participation by Mr. Van Zanten, Mr. Gene
Green, County Health Department, Mr. Carniato, Mr. Laster, and Board Members
regarding the comments by Mr. Van Zanten and also discussion of zoning
procedure of property by the County. deed restrictions on splitting of
parcels and the Health Department's determination that a health hazard exists
in the Schedule 2 area.
Mr. Laste~ explained for the benefit of Mr. deBellis, that if the
Health Officer determines that a health hazard exists. the District Board
by 4/5 affirmative vote', can override all protests and proceed with
installation of sewers to alleviate a health hazard. Mr. Horstkotte
noted that, historically, the District Board, as a matter of policy, has
required signed petitions from at least 60% of the property owners
requesting sewer service before the District would proceed with instal-
lation of sewers.
Discussion followed with participation by Mr. Lloyd Plath, 228 Kuss
Road, Danville, California, Mr. Gene Green, Mrs. McIntyre, Mr. Van Zanten,
Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bullock, Mr. Horstkotte, and Board Members regarding
the Health Officer's determination that a health hazard exists in the area,
how such determination was made and how many septic tank failures actually
existed in the Schedule 2 area.
Mr. Don Anderson stated that he owned an undeveloped parcel in the
Schedule 2 area and that he supported the installation of sewers. Mr.
Anderson then expressed concern regarding number of units of assessment
assigned his parcel. Discussion followed regarding alternative assessment
methods and proceedings with President Rustigian stating that the matter
of assessment proceedings for LID No. 54 is a matter for consideration at
the public hearing scheduled for September 20,1973.
In response to query by Mr. Frank Ziskind, Jr., P. O. Box 263, Danville,
California, representing his mother, Mr. Gene Green explained Health Depart-
ment methods for determination of sewage line and septic tank failures.
Mr. Laster and Mr. Horstkotte stated that staff would review the
comments made this date by persons in the audience and prepare appropriate
response by staff for inclusion in the EIR, LID No. 54, Schedule 2.
After expression of appreciation for the comments received from
persons in the audience, it was the consensus of the Board to continue
