DISTRIC~ ANNEY.ATION ~:10
Mr. Horstkotte, District Nanager-Engineer, stated that certain property
owners in the audience from Public Sewering Area (P.S.A.) 13 and to be i~-
cluded in Local Improvement District No. 14 are asking consideration for only
one unit of assessment under the Assessment District and deferring payment on
the balance until a future date when service is required on the undeveloped
portions of their properties.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that the District would be required to make a
contribution to offset what they would be assessed. He stated that the
annexation fees included in the assessments of all properties would more
than offset the District contribution.
Mr. Horstkotte stateè this was similar to what was done in Local Improve-
ment District No. 43-5.
President Mitchell stated that in Local Improvement District No. 13-5
the District Board approved the assessment procedure because there were large
acreages interspersed with small parcels and he was not sure this was a
similar situation.
Mr. Horstkotte indicated on a map of the proposed Assessment District the
location of the properties under discussion. The properties were on the fringe
of the area and the properties would benefit from sewers proposed to serve the
area anrl coul~ not be left out of the Assessment District.

President Mitchell stated that if relief was given to these people it
would have to be done throughout the Assessment District, to vihich Mr.
Horstkotte answered Yes.
Member Roemer stated that such a policy could be narrowed down to two
building sites and questioned where the District should stop.
Hr. Horstkotte stated that he felt consideration could be sustained in
this case, that this would not set a precedent for the entire Sanitary
District, and that each area should be considered individually.
Member Roemer stated that, although the District would have a net
credit, the offsetting annexation fees are public funds and questioned
whether they should be used for this purpose.
President Mitchell stated that by deferring a portion of the assessment
by District contribution it is also deferring a portion of the annexation
fees with no guarantee when these funds would be returned to the District.
Mr. Lawton, of 1743 Green Valley Road, stated that he felt the property
owners would be compelled to subdivide in four to six years.
President Mitchell stated that the District Board should determine a
general policy and not on an individual basis.
Member Roemer suggested that Members of the District Board visit the
area and the properties under discussion and stated that he intended to do so.
Continued to November 5, 196h.
Hr. Horstkotte presented a map indicating the areaDto be annexed under
District Annexation #10.
Mr. Horstkotte stated that the proposed area must be reviewed by the
Local Agency Formation Commission and approved by the Boundary Commission
prior to advertising and Hearing by the District Board.
It was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Roemer, that the petition
for annexation and the properties included in District Annexation HIO be
accepted and approved and the date of Hearing be set by the District staff.
