City of Pleasanton <br />LighƟng & Landscape Maintenance District No. 1995-1, <br />Moller Ranch <br />Engineer’s Report <br /> <br />Page 27 <br /> <br />In other words, the landscaping Improvements maintained by the proposed <br />Assessments specially benefit the properƟes within the Maintenance District, but <br />other nearby improvements primarily benefit other proximate proper Ɵes. <br />Nonetheless, there are certain properƟes that are outside the boundaries of the <br />Maintenance District that may benefit from the landscape improvements. A total <br />of no more than 10 proximate parcels have been idenƟfied that receive some <br />special benefit from the improvements including improved views, proximity <br />and/or access, but do not receive extension of outdoor areas nor the special <br />benefit of parcel creaƟon. Since these adjacent properƟes only receive a 3 of the <br />5 major special benefits, a 60% factor is applied. <br />Total General Benefit to ProperƟes Outside of the District = 5.4%: <br /> <br />Although it can reasonably be argued that Improvements inside, but near the <br />Maintenance District boundaries are offset by similar landscape improvements <br />provided outside, we use the more generous approach of finding that 5.4% of the <br />Improvements may be of benefit to property outside of the Maintenance District. <br />Benefit to Property Inside the District that is Indirect and Derivative = 0% <br />The “indirect and derivaƟve” benefit to property within the Maintenance District <br />is parƟcularly difficult to calculate. A solid argument can be presented that all <br />benefit within the Maintenance District is special, because the Improvements are <br />clearly “over and above” and “parƟcular and disƟnct” when compared with the <br />unique proximity, access and views of the Improvements enjoyed by benefiƟng <br />properƟes in the Maintenance District. <br />AssumpƟons: <br />10 parcels outside and adjacent to the District <br />101 parcels in the Maintenance District <br />CalculaƟon <br />General Benefit to Property outside the Improvement District = <br />Page 274 of 617
