To the CCCSD Board of Supervisors:
Thank you for considering the formation of a Contractual Assessment District for the
Tumbling Brook area within the El Toyonal area of Orinda. My wife and myself
purchased this property over 25 years ago with the expectation that we would build
our home there when sewer became available in the area.
Twenty-five years later, that has not happened, so we now wish to be part of the
catalyst to bring that sewer line to reality. In speaking with the neighbors, there is
more interest, specifically with one property whose occupant has passed away and
whose heirs wish to refresh the property to a more modem state. Another neighbor
has made significant improvements and simply wants to connect to modem sewer
faciliries. Others are `bn the fence" and will likely participate if financing via a CAD
becomes a real oprion. .
For the first rime, the CAD presents all of the residents, whether or not they choose •
to participate immediately, with the abiliry to elnninate aging sepric facilities and
expand their homes fiirther as they wish.
As individuals, the cost of bringing sewer to a specific property is onerous and
unlikely to occur. As a result, we strongly encourage you to approve formation of
the CAD serving these eight properties in order to allow the residents to pursue the
highest and best use of their homes without the large costs preventing that eft'ort.
Please contact me if you have any quesrions. � '
Best Regards,
Tom Duly
