City of Pleasanton <br />LighƟng & Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, <br />Moller Ranch <br />Engineer’s Report <br /> <br />Page 8 <br /> <br />The development included a planned unit development with 99 residenƟal <br />dwelling parcels: 62 townhomes, 23 single family producƟon lots, and 14 single <br />family custom lots on approximately 35 acres of a 198 acre site located generally <br />to the west/northwest of the Foothill Road/Muirwood Drive intersecƟon. As part <br />of a subsequent ordinance, the approval of the townhomes was modified to <br />approve single family homes. The subdivision also contains a City owned parcel <br />that has a water tank, and a small parking lot parcel owned by the Moller Ranch <br />Owner’s AssociaƟon and managed by the City. The total number of parcels served <br />by District 1995-1 at present Ɵme is 101 parcels. <br />The Moller Ranch LighƟng and Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1 <br />purpose is to fund the maintenance of the exisƟng Moller Ranch subdivision <br />designated landscaped areas, open space slopes, fuel transiƟon zones (fire <br />breaks), entry features, open space drainage ditches, irrigaƟon systems, trees in <br />the open space and designated landscaped areas, groundcover and irrigaƟon <br />systems. <br />District 1995-1 is funded by the benefit assessment approved in 1995 <br />(“Assessment”), and it does not receive any direct revenues from property taxes <br />or any other funding sources. <br />Over the years, operaƟonal costs and uƟlity costs have increased, however the <br />assessment revenues have remained the same. The fiscal year 2026-27 total <br />assessment revenue will not be sufficient to fund the maintenance of all common <br />areas, including water costs, county assessment fees, city administra Ɵon fees, <br />replacement of planƟngs, irrigaƟon systems, fencing, and other district <br />improvements. The Engineer’s Report projects that the City will need to reduce <br />landscape maintenance and water use so that landscape maintenance and <br />necessary capital improvement costs remain below assessments. <br />An increase in the annual assessment will be necessary in order to meet the <br />maintenance standards of the District into the future. If addiƟonal funding from a <br />new or increased assessment is not implemented, the City will be forced to <br />conƟnue to reduce maintenance and postpone facili Ɵes upgrades, resulƟng in a <br />conƟnuing deterioraƟon of the grounds and faciliƟes. <br />Page 255 of 617
