Page 25 <br /> Special benefit, on the other hand, is defined in the California constitution as "a <br /> particular and distinct benefit over and above general benefits conferred on real <br /> property located in the district or to the public at large." A special benefit is <br /> conferred to a property if the property "receives a direct advantage from the <br /> improvement (e.g., proximity to setback landscaping)." In the Maintenance <br /> District, as noted, properties have close and unique proximity, views of and access <br /> to the Improvements, and uniquely improved utility and desirability from the <br /> Improvements, and other properties and the public at large do not receive such <br /> benefits because they do not have proximity, access to or views of the <br /> Improvements.Therefore, the overwhelming proportion of the benefits conferred <br /> to property is special, and only minimal general benefit is conferred on property <br /> outside the Maintenance District or to the public at large. <br /> This Engineer's Report includes a specific, quantified calculation of general <br /> benefits, as described below, that is based in part on the use by people outside of <br /> the Maintenance District. Moreover,the proportionality of the Assessments to the <br /> special benefits conferred on each parcel, based in large part on proximity, is <br /> established as well. <br /> Calculating General Benefit and Special Benefit Paid From Other Funds <br /> In this section, the total general benefit, which must be paid from other non- <br /> assessment funds, is conservatively estimated, quantified, described and <br /> separated, and then budgeted to absolutely ensure that it is funded by sources <br /> other than this assessment. <br /> City of Pleasanton <br /> Landscape Maintenance District No. 1993-1, Windsor SClConsultingGroup <br /> Engineer's Report <br />
