City of Pleasanton <br />LighƟng & Landscape Maintenance District No. 1994-1, <br />Oak Tree Farm <br />Engineer’s Report <br /> <br />Page 24 <br /> <br />Calculating General Benefit and Special Benefit Paid From Other Funds <br />In this secƟon, the total general benefit, which must be paid from other non- <br />assessment funds, is conservaƟvely esƟmated, quanƟfied, described and <br />separated, and then budgeted to absolutely ensure that it is funded by sources <br />other than this assessment. <br />Benefit to Property Outside the Maintenance District = 9.6% <br />In summary, real property located within the boundaries of the Maintenance <br />District disƟnctly and directly benefit from closer proximity, access and views of <br />the Improvements funded by the Assessments, the creaƟon of developable <br />parcels, and from the extension of usable land area provided by the assessments. <br />The Improvements are specifically designed to serve local proper Ɵes in the <br />Maintenance District, not other properƟes nor the public at large. The <br />Maintenance District has been narrowly drawn to include those parcels that <br />receive a direct advantage from the Improvements. The public at large and other <br />properƟes outside the Maintenance District receive only limited benefits from the <br />Improvements because they do not have proximity, good access or views of the <br />Improvements. These are special benefits to property in the Maintenance District <br />in much the same way that sewer and water faciliƟes, sidewalks and paved streets <br />enhance the uƟlity and desirability of specific proximate properƟes and make <br />them more funcƟonal to use, safer and easier to access. <br />ProperƟes within the proposed Maintenance District receive almost all of the <br />special benefits from the Improvements, because properƟes in the Maintenance <br />District enjoy unique and close proximity and access to the Improvements that are <br />enjoyed less by other properƟes or the public at large. The landscaping <br />Improvements are specifically designed to benefit the properƟes in the <br />Maintenance District. <br />Furthermore, there are mulƟple, proximate open space, landscaped areas, and <br />other improvements outside of the Maintenance District, funded by other sources, <br />that provide most of the open space and landscaping benefits to nearby parcels <br />that are outside of the Maintenance District. <br />Page 227 of 617
