FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Schaefer Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (GHAD) currently holds Plan of Control responsibilities for GHAD-maintained parcels and improvements within Tract 6765 and Tract 8000 of the Schaefer Ranch development. All District costs, including maintenance, are funded by the assessment levied on residential parcels within the District boundary. The approved Engineer’s Report for the development anticipated District funding of the parcels and improvements proposed for acceptance within Tract 8136 (Unit 3); their ongoing costs will be covered by the existing District assessment.
DESCRIPTION:
The Schaefer Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District was formed on December 5, 2006. The adopted Plan of Control for Schaefer Ranch, dated November 1, 2006, describes geologic hazards, provides a plan for prevention, mitigation, abatement, and control of those hazards, and identifies the parcels that have been or will be conveyed to the District. The Plan of Control also describes the process for conveyance of property and transfer of responsibility from Schaefer Ranch Holdings, LLC (Developer) to the District no sooner than three years after issuance of the first residential building permit within the Schaefer Ranch development, including Unit 3, which is the subject of this Staff Report. As described in Section II of the Plan of Control, proposed District responsibilities within Unit 3 include, but are not limited to, concrete-lined drainage ditch maintenance and repair, detention basin maintenance and repair, vegetation management for fire suppression, subdrain outfall maintenance, slope stabilization, and emergency response.
The Developer has requested that the District accept the transfer of Schaefer Way and the residential and open space parcels to the District for Plan of Control responsibilities as listed in the table below. Please refer to Attachment 4 for a Site Plan showing the location of these parcels.
