ENGINEER'S REPORT
FOR
LANDSCAPE MAINTENANCE DISTRICT NO. 8
TRACT NO. 13063
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY FOR REPORT
This report is prepared in compliance with the requirement of Article 4,
Chapter 1, 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 South Etiwanda area. The District will originally comprise of the
boundaries of the Tract No. 13063. Areas to be included in the work program
are the trees and planting within certain rights-of-way of streets and freeway
slopes as determined by the City; street trees and eucalyptus windrows within
street rights-of-way and within dedicated tree maintenance easements as
required by specific plans or by the City Council, the public parks, the
greenway and paseo systems, community gateways, regional and co,unity trail
systems including lighting, signing, striping and all other improvements such
as play equipment, fences, walls, etc. within those systems; such similar
areas as required by the Specific Plan or by the City Council or as dedicated
by various subdivisions.
The work program generally excludes the parkways landscaping (except the
street trees) adjoining the fronts and sides of single family residences,
adjoining multi family residential units and adjoining commercial and
institutional development which will be maintained by those developments.
The District will eventually include the majority of the areas included within
the South Etiwanda areas and other areas generally comprised of properties
bounded on the north by Highland Avenue, on the south by Foothill Boulevard,
on the west by Etiwanda Avenue and 1-15, and on the east by east city limit.
SECTION 3. SCOPE OF WORK
The areas listed above will become part of the active work program at such
time as the specific areas are dedicated to and accepted by the City. The
normal process will be the dedication of the areas to the City, the areas
improved by the developer with landscaping, irrigation and other required
improvements, then after a period of maintenance by the developer as
determined by the City Engineer, the acceptance of maintenance by the
Maintenance District. There will be a lag time from the original dedication
until the District actually begins the maintenance of the areas.
On certain work program areas where abutting properties will never be
developed, the District may install the needed improvements as required by the
City Council and maintain the same.
Resolution No. 89-442
Page 4
The plans and specifications for all improvements within the work program
areas to be installed by the developer will be completed by the developer at
their cost for the individual areas to be maintained within the subdivision
and will be approved by the Community Development Department.
Annual Engineer's Reports will be prepared and approved by the City Council
defining the specific work program for each year and its estimated cost. As
de,'elopment proceeds within the District, the areas to be maintained by the
District will increase and so will the cost; however the number of units will
also increase. The estimated maintenance cost and estimated assessment rate
per unit for the original District and the completed District are tabulated
herein after. The assessment rate is expected to vary year to year as more
areas are annexed to the District until such time as all the properties within
the ultimate district boundary are annexed, after which the assessment rate
should remain constant excluding cost of living increase.
Maintenance Activities
Detail maintenance activities on the areas to be maintained by the District
consist of providing for the life, growth, health, and beauty of the land-
scaping including: cultivation, irrigation, trimming spraying, fertilizing or
treating for disease or injury; removal of trimmings, rubbish, debris and
other solid waste; maintenance, repair, energy costs, and replacement as
necessary of all required lighting within the park, greenway, paseo and trail
system; removal of graffiti from walls immediately adjacent to the cultivated
areas; repair, removal or replacement of all or any part of any improvement.
SECTION 4. ESTIMATED COSTS
No costs will be incurred by the District for original improvement construc-
tion except for certain nominal areas as mentioned in Section 3. The cost of
any new construction will have negligible effect on the total assessment of
the District due to its scope in comparison with the overall District work
program areas. Based on data from other cities and from the City of Rancho
Cucamonga for Landscape Maintenance Districts and from the review of proposed
work program areas, it is estimated that based on current dollars, the
maintenance cost for assessment purposes, estimated areas to be maintained and
the estimated number of assessment units will be as follows:
A. Original District
The estimated costs for the original District comprising of Tract No. 13063
are shown below:
