Home My WebLink About7 Coyote Run Project .................. .. _ . .. Agenda Item # 7 UCKEE r NN Public Utility DistrictVI Memorandum To: Board of Directors From: Neil Kaufman Date: March 27, 2003 Subject: Annexation of Coyote Run Project to the District's Water Service Area 1. Why this matter is before the board: The developer of the Coyote Run project has requested that the District provide water service to the project. The subject parcel is not currently within 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, meeting, the Board adopted Resolution No. 2003-12 which established a policy governing the annexation of property to the District for water service. The Coyote Run project is located on Placer County Parcel 080-270-005, along the common Nevada County/Placer County line. A 20-lot planned residential development is proposed. The developer's have submitted a development agreement application to the District. The location of the parcel is shown on the attached Figure 1. Directly adjacent to the Coyote Run project is a vacant parcel located within the Town of Truckee, with a proposed project consisting of 71 single-family units. This project is currently designated as Arbor Meadows by the developer. I have evaluated the existing distribution system for its capacity to serve both of these projects. It was determined that construction of a 12-inch pipeline along SR 267 from Martis Valley Road to the project site would be necessary to provide adequate fire flows. The location of required 12-inch pipeline is shown on Figure 2, along with the proposed layout of the Arbor Meadows and Coyote Run projects. Both developers have been informed of the need for this pipeline. 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 080-270-005. 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 20 single-family residential units. Sufficient water supply capacity exists to serve the project. The District has identified the need to install a 12- inch pipeline along SR 267 from Martis Valley Road to the project site in order to provide adequate fire flows. d. The Developer has agreed to pay the costs of processing the annexation application as $ evidenced on the attached form. s f 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.

Percin Signature of Authorized Representative t -- Date S IIIIt �l + 'II�IIII II 1 ,- MEMORANDUM To: Peter Holzmeister Date: February 10, 2003 From: Neil Kaufman File: CC: Subject: Annexation of Coyote Run Project The District is preparing an application with the Nevada County LAFCO to annex the Coyote Run project into the District's water service territory. The Nevada County LAFCO has requested that the District review the environmental documents prepared by Nevada County for this project. A Mitigated Negative Declaration (MIND) was prepared and the comment period was completed on October 11, 2001. I do not have the date when the final document was filed. I have reviewed the MND and I believe that it is truthful and accurate with two exceptions. 1) Under Section 12 — Utilities and Service Systems, the MND indicates that the District will provide both electric and water service to the project. The project is located in Placer County within Sierra Pacific's electric service territory and it is the District's intent to provide only water service to the project. 2) Under Section 15 — Recreation, the MND notes an increased demand on recreation facilities in the North Tahoe PUD and Martis Valley Recreation Area. I believe that the increased demand for recreation facilities would fall almost entirely upon the Truckee Donner Recreation & Park District and that the original MND should have noted this impact. There does not appear to be any issues in the MND as related to provision of water service to the project. Placer County CEQA Review-Annexation Page 1 Pefsollut'ion 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 080-270-005 for the Coyote Run Planned Development WHEREAS, the property owners of APN 80-270-005 have requested the District to initiate the annexation process in order to provide water service to the Coyote Run Townhome Development, a 20-unit planned development located in both Nevada and Placer Counties ; 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. 80-270-005; 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 conditions: the property owner shall finance all connection expenses, water system modifications and annexation costs. 3. The reason for this proposal is to provide water service to the above-described territory. 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 LAFCo. 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 serves 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 Placer County, not because of the District's failure to provide adequate information. X { 5. The County of Placer has reviewed and approved the project and has adopted a Mitigated Negative Declaration and conditions of approval. The District has reviewed the County's environmental findings and conditions of approval and concurs with the findings related to the District's provision of water service. 6. The District certifies that, pursuant to Government Code Section 56663, the subject territory is uninhabited and that all owners have provided written consent i 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. ; 7. 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 first day of April 2003 by the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSTAIN: TRUCKEE DONNER PUBLIC UTILITY DISTRICT By J. on Hemig, President ATTEST: Peter L.
