Ad~s, City Clerk Resolution No. 89-537 Pa ge 3 CITY OF RANCHO CUCAMONGA 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 ri§hts-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 community 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. 89-537 Pa ge 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 development 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, heal th, and beauty of the landscaping 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 construction 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.
