ENGINEER, PDS-RATES AND FEES FINANCIAL PLANNING WORKGROUP REVIEWED BY: DANEA GEMMELL, PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT SERVICES DIVISION MANAGER JEAN-MARC PETIT, DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNICAL SERVICES Roger S. Bailey Kenton L. Alm General Manager District Counsel ISSUE A resolution of the Board of Directors (Board) is required to record documents with Contra Costa County. BACKGROUND An unpermitted and uninspected sewer lateral work was performed at 1721 3rd Avenue in Walnut Creek by the property owner. A side sewer was installed between an Accessory Dwelling Unit (AD U) and an existing side sewer without a Central San permit being issued and without the work being inspected by Central San. Subsequent to the installation of the side sewer, the owner had a stamped concrete driveway August 4, 2022 Regular Board Meeting Agenda Packet- Page 39 of 94 Page 2 of 4 poured over the side sewer. The property owner provided Central San with photographs of the work taken during construction. Staff's review of the photographs indicates that the work does not appear to meet requirements in the Central San Standard Specifications for Design and Construction. Due in particular to the concrete driveway overlay, excavation of the whole work area for Central San inspection and any needed remediation would be quite costly according to the property owner. Staff discussed options with the property owner and it was agreed that filing a Notice of Uninspected Sewer Work was an agreeable solution to both the property owner and Central San. Staff is requesting adoption of a Board resolution to authorize recording a Notice of Uninspected Sewer Work against this property in order to alert any future interested parties that the existing sewer lateral was not inspected by Central San for compliance with the requirements of Central San's Standard Specifications for Design and Construction. ALTERNATIVES/CONSIDERATIONS The Board could decline to adopt the Resolution or could provide alternative direction to staff. FINANCIAL IMPACTS None. COMMUNITY OUTREACH None. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION The Real Estate, Environmental and Planning Committee reviewed this matter at its meeting on July 20, 2022 and recommended the Board conduct the hearing. RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION Conduct a hearing and adopt the proposed resolution authorizing the recording of the Notice of Uninspected Sewer Work against the property at 1721 3rd Avenue in Walnut Creek with the Contra Costa County Recorder.
