PROPOSED ANNEXATION OF THE LARWIN DEVELOPMENT COMPANY PROJECT
Mr. Horstkotte, General Manager-Chief Engineer, introduced Mr. Gene Rhodes,
Mr. Charles Snyder and Mr. James McKeehan, representatives of Larwin
Development Company.
Mr. McKeehan, utilizing a map, explained to Board Members and staff the
scope of and plans of Larwin Development Company for the residential develop-
ment of property located adjacent to and south of the Bishop Ranch Development.
Mr. McKeehan stated that, under the 1965 Reorganization Act for Districts,
Larwin Development Company was requesting from the Local Agency Formation Commission
detachment from Valley Community Services District and the annexation to
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District of the approximately 328 acres involved.
Mr. McKeehan stated that, for the Central Sanitary District to provide sewer ser-
vice to the Larwin property, the pump station planned for the Bishop Ranch
Development be relocated approximately 3,700 feet further south along the
Southern Pacific Railroad right of way in order to service both developments.
Board Members, staff, Counsel for the District, and representatives of
Larwin Development Company discussed and exchanged comments regarding the
Larwin Development Company's request for annexation and its impact upon the
District's future treatment plant capacity. Mr. Horstkotte explained in
further detail staff rationale regarding relocation of the proposed pumping
station and indicated that, based upon engineering factors, one pump station
would be adequate. He then reported that staff of Valley Community Services
District was exploring with the District the feasibility of extending the
District's boundary in this area to the Contra Costa County line.
Member Mitchell expressed concern regarding the adequacy of District
annexation charges and fees to finance necessary treatment plant capacity
in order to service large developments if annexed. Mr. Dalton, Deputy
~eneral Manager-Chief Engineer, responded that the District annexation
charges and fees were currently related to construction costs and were
subject to future adjustment. He indicated that the current District
fee schedule was appropriate to finance treatment plant capacity and trunk
lines for this particular watershed at this time.
Member Boneysteele suggested that this may be the appropriate time to
extend the District's boundary to the County line in view of the explorato.ry
action by Valley Community Services District on readjustment of service
boundaries.
Mr. Horstkotte estimated that the Larwin project would generate an
additional 1/2 MGD requirement on the District's treatment plant capacity.
He then reported that Federal regulatory agencies will shortly invoke the
requirement that Sanitary Districts impose a service use charge as a pre-
condition to obtainment of grant funds.
Mr. George Gordon, Attorney, representing Western Electric Corporation
and primary developer of the Bishop Ranch Development, addressed the Board
and stated that Western Electric Corporation was opposed to any action that
would delay or impede the Bishop Ranch Development. He stated that this
project had been subject to costly delays over a period of four years.

Hr. Gordon s tateù that) after great difficulty, the final Environmental
Impact Report, which prescribes the location of the pumping station for
the Bishop Ranch Development, had been approved. Relocation of the pumping
station as suggested by representatives of Larwin Development Company would
necessitate a supplemental EIR and further resultant delay of the Bishop
Ranch project.
Discussion followed with participation by Board Members, staff, Mr. Gordon,
Mr. Rhodes and Mr. McKeehan regarding the impact the location of the pumping
station may have on the Bishop Ranch and Larwin projects. After discussion,
item was continued to the meeting of November 1,1973.
