TO: City Council and City Manager
FROM: Richard J. Folkers, Assistant City Manager/Public Works Director
SUBJECT: INFORMATIONAL ITEM: FLAGSTONE LANE ASSESSMENT DISTRICT 88-2
DATE: August 11 , 1988
During the formation of Assessment District 83-1 , the residents on Flagstone
Lane prepared petitions and sent them to the city for inclusion in that curb and
gutter assessment district. Inadvertently, Flagstone Lane was not included in
that assessment district. Earlier this year, the residents approached the city
again to pursue the installation of curb and gutter on their street. A meeting
was held with representatives of the homeowners, as well as a group of concerned
property owners. The staff is currently obtaining proposals for professional
services for the engineering and bond counsel for this assessment district. It
was anticipated that this matter would be brought to the City Council for this
meeting; however, all of the necessary background information has not been
gathered at this point in time.
There is a unique situation where the eleventh fairway of the Shadow
Mountain Country Club crosses Flagstone Lane west of Portola Avenue. One of the
items of discussion between the city staff and the residents was the vacation of
Flagstone Lane to provide a private street status because of the fairway crossing
the public street.
Staff has prepared a preliminary estimate which indicates the cost for
improvements chargeable to the residents is under $50,000. It is estimated that
the necessary engineering, bond counsel , and other required services will be less
than $50,000. The city may resurface the entire street as part of the process
for the vacation of this street; that cost has not been determined at this time.
Those residents attending the meeting indicated their desire to pay for
these improvements during the cash collection period; however, it appears that
there are a few property owners who are not willing to pay cash and who may be
objecting to the assessment district. Therefore, it is necessary for us to take
the most conservative approach to this assessment district.
Staff intends to have the +r9 package ready to present to the City
Council at the meeting of September"9.:Y �UT��T`IL
