Home My WebLink About13 Annexation Yardas Parcel Agenda Item # Memorandum To: Board of Directors From: Neil Kaufman Date: June 10, 2003 Subject: Annexation of Yardas Parcel Split to the District's Water Service Area 1. Why this matter is before the board: The developer of the Yardas Parcel Split has requested that the District provide water service to the project. The subject parcel has not been formally annexed into the District's water service territory and an application for annexation must be submitted to the Nevada County LAFCO. The Nevada County LAFCO requires a resolution by the Board of Directors to submit the annexation application. 2. History: At the March 19, 2003 meeting, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2003-12, which established a policy governing the annexation of property to the District for water service. Mr. David Yardas owns a parcel (APN 080-370-004) located at the end of Frond Road across the street from the Sharp subdivision. The District currently provides a single water service to this parcel. Mr. Yardas has filed an application with Placer County to split this parcel into four smaller parcels, necessitating three additional water services. The developer has submitted a development agreement application to the District. The location of the parcel is shown on the attached Figure 1. 3. New information: The following information is provided in accordance with Resolution No. 2003-12: a. The parcel to be annexed is Placer County APN 080-370-004. b. The parcel is within the District's Sphere of Influence as defined in Plate 3 of the Sphere of Influence Report, October 1996. c. The subject project consists of four single-family residential units. Sufficient water supply capacity exists to serve the project. There is an existing 8-inch pipeline located in Frond Road along the frontage of the subdivision. d. The Developer has agreed to pay the costs of processing the annexation application as evidenced on the attached form. 4. Recommendation: I recommend that the board adopt the resolution asking Nevada County LAFCO to initiate annexation proceedings. This resolution acknowledges District review of the Placer County environmental review of the proposed project and concurrence with the findings as related to provision of water service.

The Nevada County LAFCO has requested that the District review the environmental documents prepared by Nevada County for this project. A CEQA exemption was filed for this project in with Placer County on August 8, 2002. I have reviewed the Exemption and I believe that it is truthful and accurate. Placer County CEQA Review-Annexation doe Page t Resolution No . 2003- XXX Application by Truckee Donner Public Utility District Requesting the Local Agency Formation Commission of Nevada County to Take Proceedings for the Annexation of Placer County APN 080-370-04 for the Yardas Parcel Split WHEREAS, the property owners of APN 080-370-04 have requested the District to initiate the annexation process in order to provide water service to the Yardas Parcel Split, a four lot residential development located in the County of Placer; and WHEREAS, the Truckee Donner Public Utility District desires to initiate proceedings pursuant to the Cortese-Knox-Hertzberg Local Government Reorganization Act of 1985, commencing with Section 56000 of the California Government Code, for the annexation of Placer County Assessor's Parcel No. 080-370-04; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Directors of the District as follows: 1. Application and proposal are hereby made to the Nevada County Local Agency Formation Commission for the annexation of certain uninhabited territory to the Truckee Donner Public Utility District. The exterior boundaries of such territory are described in the legal description attached hereto and by reference made a part hereof. 2. it is desired that the proposed annexation provide for and be made subject to the following terms and conditic^.s: thy: pr3p--rty owner s laii finance all connection expenses, water system modifications and annexation costs. 3. The reason for this proposal is to provide additional water service to the above- described territory sufficient to serve a proposed development that would include 4 single-family residential units. 4. This annexation is consistent with the sphere of influence adopted for the Truckee Donner Public Utility District by Nevada LAFCo in 1983. The District's sphere plan was updated in 1998 to comply with new Nevada LAFCo requirements, however, only the Nevada County portion of the plan was adopted by Nevada L,_FCo. The District therefore requests that Nevada LAFCo proceed with this proposal in consideration of the following: the District has documented its ability to provide sufficient and sustainable service to the project, the District already serves this property and adjoining properties, the proposal is generally consistent with LAFCo's policy objectives, and the update of the Placer portion of the District's sphere has been delayed only at the request of the County of Placer, not because of the District's failure to provide adequate information. 5. The County of Placer has reviewed the subdivision proposal and found it categorically exempt from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act under Class 15, Minor Land Subdivision. The District has reviewed the County's environmental findings and concurs with the findings related to the District's provision of water service, and directs staff to file a Notice of Exemption for this project with the Placer County Clerk. 6. The District certifies that, pursuant to Government Code Section 56663, the subject territory is uninhabited and that all owners have provided written consent to annexation. The Board of the Truckee Donner Public Utility District, as the only agency that will gain or lose territory as a result of this annexation, hereby consents to a waiver of the final protest hearing by Nevada LAFCo. T The District does not receive any property tax revenues and certifies that, pursuant to Section 99 (b) of the Tax and Revenue Code , this proposal will not involve a reapportionment of the County of Placer property tax. 8. Truckee Donner Public Utility District staff is hereby authorized and directed to file a certified copy of this resolution with the Executive Officer of the County of Nevada Local Agency Formation Commission. PASSED AND ADOPTED by the Board of Directors at a meeting duly called and held within the District on the eighteenth day of June 2003 by the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT By J.
