ERiplajlY D; B, McGLANEPY AND ASSOCIATES _FOR GRANTING OF DISTRICT VARIANCE FOR SUBDIVISION NO: 4346, MORAGA AREA Mi, Dalton, Administrative Engineer, explained the property involved two apartwent type buildings, serviced by a 6 sewer line, the status of which was changed to condominium units. With the possibility of multiple ownership, staff desired the sewer line be raised to mainline standards, namely, an 8" line with 5 two manhoiec .and a rodd!-D3 inlet. With grant of easement, the District would then ccep resprinsibility for the line's maintenance_ Mr. Don McGlamery, re- presenting the owner, addressed the Board. He explained the concept of condomin- iums, emphasizing that the property wou)d still retain single ownership. He indicated that he did not think granting of a variance in this instance would contra- vene the intent of the District's 07inance. Further, over a two-year period, no difficulty had been experienced in the functioning of the current sewer line. He suggested, therefore, incy-eastng the size of the line with additional manholes and rodding inlet as unnecessary, Diocussion between Board Members, staff, MI. Carniato, representing Mr. Bohn, Comsel for the District and Mr. McGlamery followed. Member Boneysteele noe,1 that the change Ni status from apartment units to condominium units would have no impact on number of fixtures or number of people involved. The property rlould still be represented by a single owner. Member Mitchell commented that while ownership of the property may technically reside in a single owner, there would be individual ownership of each condominium unit. It would be beneficial to them if the line was raised to mainline standards. Mr. Carniato noted that mT-ilership of condominium units could take several forms. If it involved multiple owaership, obtainment of easements (-Quid be a problem. After some concern was expressed over maintenance of the current sewer line, and possible District lesponsi- bility, Mr. McGlamery stated the owner has not requested the District to maintain the line. It was then moved by Member Boneysteele, seconded by Member Gibbs, that request for variance in the case of D. B. McGlamery and Associates for sub- division 4346, Moraga area, be granted.

We have not been table to fix the exact amount of short tern borrowing, but the latest btate information on accelerated grant payments still requires us to incur 20Z or our full share of the project cost before rept of grant payments. In other words, we will have to have available shout $9,200,000, lass prior payments (about 51, x,000 tc 52000,000), less non -obligated cash on hand (about 52,200,000 to $2,500,000). This would require borrowing prior to ward of contract of up to $10,000,00C on a short term basis. The short tarn may Involve three one-year periods with the possibility that additional borrowing of up to $3,000,000 may be re- quired during the three years.
