AYES: Dahl, Buquet, Schlosser, Frost, Mikels NOES: None ABSENT: None ATTEST: Resolution No. 82-139 Exhibit CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA ENGINEER'S REPORT FOR LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 2 VICTORIA COMMUNITY SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR REPORT This report is prepared in compliance with the requirement of Article 4, Chapter l, Division 5 of the Street and Highways Code, State of California (Landscaping and Lighting Act of 1972). SECTION 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION This report deals with the establishment of a Landscape Maintenance District for the Victoria Planned Community. The District will include the majority of the area as included within th~ pi'anned Community, as approved by Ordinance No. 143. Areas to be included in the work program are the Victoria linear park, the trees within the dedicated tree maintenance easement, the trees and ground cover within the tree and ground cover maintenance easements dedicated to the City, the public parks, ~nd other areas required by the P.C. plan or by the City Council, or as dedicated by the various subdivisions. These areas listed above will become part of the active work program, at such time as the specific areas are dedicated to the City. Annual Engineer's reports will be prepared and approved by the City Council defining the specific work programs for each year and the estimated cost for those years. As the development proceeds within the Victoria Planned Community, the area to be maintained by the District will increase and so will the cost; however, the number of units will also increase. It is hoped that the number of units would increase at approximately the same rate as the maintenance area would increase; thereby, keeping constant or decreasing the cost per unit, excludin~ cost of living increases. The normal process will be the dedication of the areas to the City, then the areas landscaped by the developer, then after a period of maintenance by the developer, the acceptance of maintenance by the Maintenance District. There will be a lag time from the original dedication until the District actually begins the cost of maintaining property. SECTION 3. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS (SCOPE OF WORK) The plans and specifications and installation for all landscaping will be completed by the developers at their cost for the individual areas to be maintained within Resolution No. 82-139 Exhibit each subdivision and be approved by the Community Development Department. Maintenance Activities Detail maintenance activities on the areas to be maintained by the District include: The repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improve- ment, providing for the life, growth, health and beauty of the land- scaping, including cultivation, irrigation, trimming, spraying, fertiliz- ing or treating for disease or injury; the removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris and other solid waste, the maintenance, repair and replacement as necessary of all irrigation systems, and the removal of graffiti from walls immediately adjacent to the cultivated areas. SECTION 4. ESTIMATED COSTS No costs will be incurred by the District for original improvement construction. Based on data from other cities, and from the City of Rancho Cucamonga for land- scaping maintenance District no. 1 and from a review of the Victoria Community Plan, it is estimated that the maintenance cost for assessment purposes, based upon current dollars, estimated area to be maintained and estimated number of completed dwelling units will be as follows: A. Complete District The estimated cost (at current dollars) for the District upon completion of all areas within the planned community is shown below: Victoria Park Lane 1,176,000 sq. ft. X $0.30/sq. ft. Trails and Parkways 1,224,000 sq. ft. X $0.30/sq. ft. Arterials 1,393,900 sq. ft. X $.33/sq. ft.

Stage One Construction The estimated cost (at current dollars) for Landscape Maintenance District for all of Tracts 11934, 12044, 12045, and 12046 comprising 737 units is shown below: Victoria Park Lane 450,000 sq. ft.

Land Use Summary Ultimate Total Acres of uses other than residential Total Acres of Residential = 294 = 935 Other (Arterial Roads, Open Space, SCE, Schools, Parks, Flood Control, etc.) Total Acres 1,229 = 58O =1,809 Stage One Construction Total Acres of uses other than residential Total Acres of Residential Total Vacant Acre~ Other (Arterial Road, SCE, Schools, Parks Flood Control) Total Acres = -0- = 159 =1,280 1,439 = 370 =1,809 All of the costs and areas are based on current estimates and may or may not be valid for future years. The total cost and unit cost vary as the additional areas for maintenance are added to the district. The size of the areas being added to the district for maintenance have a great influence on the unit cost. The costs shown are estimates only, and the actual assessment will be based on actual cost data. SECTION 5.
