BARSELL APPORTIONMENT (ASSESSMENT #45-1-16-6)
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that
Mr. Barsell does not agree on the method the District proposes to use to
apportion the assessm~nt bond covering his property. The District is
being requested by Mr. Barsell to reapportion it.
Mr. Barsell addressed the Board stating that due to recent City of
Lafayette planning actions, there are fewer developed units of land than
there are assessment units. Some of the land is going to have to bear more
than one unit of assessment. Parcel "D" is assessed at 6-1/4 units but can
only be developed into 4 buildable units because of the restrictions imposed
by the City of Lafayette. The other 3 parcels each have 1 buildable unit.
Therefore, the assessement should be based on 7 units. Mr. Barsell owns
Parcels A, Band D, and Parcel C is owned by Mr. Rosenberg.
The staff explained that the basic policy decision which needed to be
made is whether or not upon a subsequent split, the assessment upon resub-
divided property should be limited in accordance with the assessment of an
equivalent property in the original proceedings.
Mr. Laster, LID Bond Counsel, summarized his letter of February 2, 1976,
stating that all of the properties included within the assessed parcel had
to bear the entire assessment originally placed against that parcel.
Accordingly, if the previous practice were followed, it could result in an
improper apportionment under certain circumstances, and this appeared to
be one.
08
05
76
845
Member Mitchell then suggested that Parcel A, Band C and 2 parcels of
Parcel D be given one assessment unit and the other 2 parcels of Parcel D
be given 1/2 assessment unit each, in recognition of the cost of extending
sewer service to such non-abutting parcels. Due to changed circumstances,
this apportionment would be based on the assessment on these parcels alone
rather than the entire LID schedule which is the procedure normally followed
by staff.
Mr. Barsell indicated that would be a satisfactory so,lutiQI'Ì as .fat:
as he was concerned.
Mr. Laster, Bond Counsel, agreed that this met statuatory requirements
and then stated that there were two procedures which could be followed in
effecting an apportionment. One method involved the obtaining of the signature
of all the property owners.within the territory and the other, an opportunity
to be heard at the public hearing on apportionment.
Mr. Barsell indicated that he would prefer the Board chose the latter
method, but if at the time the apportionment were prepared and before its
filing with the Secretary he could receive a copy, he would endeavor to
obtain Mr. Rosenberg's signature, thereby obviating the necessity of a hearing.
President Boneysteele thanked Mr. Laster for his help on the matter.

AGREEMENT "RELATING TO REAL PROPERTY" WITH JOHN W. BRADSHAW, ET UX,
LOCATED AT 955 HARBOR VIEW DRIVE, MARTINEZ, JOB NO. 1841, MISC. PARCEL
Mr. Dalton, Deputy General Manager-Chief Engineer, explained that
Mr. Bradshaw plans to construct a wooden deck and retaining wall over the
existing sewer easement. Staff has determined that this will not interfere
with our present use of the sewer easement. However, an agreement is
necessary in the event of any future damage by the property owner.
It was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Allan, that authorization
to execute an agreement Relating to Real Property be approved and its recording
