AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING A NON-RESIDENTIAL SANITARY SEWER SEVICE FOR
CALVARY CATHOLIC CEMETERY AT 304 MAGNOLIA AVENUE
(APN 048-141-0I5 & 034)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The applicant is requesting a non-residential sanitary sewer service. Upon approval, the
sanitary sewer connection will be constructed at the owner's expense.
2. BACKGROUND:
According to the applicant the existing septic system is experiencing problems and
instead of repairing the existing system they are requesting. a sewer connection. The
proposed service is intended to serve the existing office bathrooms.
Resolution No. 89-68 establishes policies for sewer service outside the City limits. The
subject property meets the initial criteria for outside sewer service because it lies outside
the City limits and within the adopted sphere of 'influence (Urban Growth Boundary).
Because this application is non-residential City Council approval is required.
The Water Resources and, Conservation Department has reviewed the subject application
and will require the applicant to pay a monthly wastewater service fee as determined by
that department.
It is the City Council's decision to approve or not approve outside sanitary sewer service
to the subject property. Resolution,89=6 8. is very specific about defining the use of the
service and'' that any unauthorized extension of the service' not specifically approved by
the City is cause for discontinuance of the service. Therefore, once the service is
approved for the office bathrooms, no additional use would be allowed without returning
to the City Council for approval.
3. ALTERNATIVES
If the service is not approved, the office bathrooms will remain on a septic system.
4. $FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
N/A
5. CONCLUSION:
This application meets the criteria for outside sewer service and requires City Council
approval per Resolution No. 89-68. Staff, takes no exception to the' approval of the subject
outside sewer service.
6. OUTCOIVIES:OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY 'SUCCES$ OR
COMPLETION'
N/A
7. RECOMMENDATION:
Approve resolution allowing outside sanitary sewer service to Calvary Catholic Cemetery
at 304 Magnolia Avenue.
