PART C ASSESSMENT ROLL Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1994-1 Annexation 1999-1 City of Pleasanton, Alameda County, California METHOD OF ASSESSMENT Each of the 16 residential parcels and 1 sewer lift station parcel located within Oak Tree Farm Phase II are proposed to be annexed into the existing Oak Tree Farm Landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1994-1 (which contains 23 residential parcels). If the annexation is approved, the enlarged district would then contain 39 residential parcels and 1 sewer lift station parcel. The total estimated annual cost of maintaining all of the improvements described in this report, as well as the improvements described in the earlier Assessment Engineer's Report for Oak Tree Farm landscape and Lighting Maintenance District No. 1994-1, is $480.35/unit/year. This report identifies all of the parcels which will have a special benefit conferred, including government owned property. The particular and distinct benefits afforded to these parcels, above and beyond that provided in other residential districts in the City, include: (i) landscaping and decorative fencing (including maintenance) along Foothill Road and Oak Tree Farm Drive which creates a distinctive rural atmosphere for this neighborhood; (ii) enhanced appearance of neighborhood due to uniformity of maintenance; (iii) scenic easements which create a sense of spaciousness for the residents; (iv) enhanced and decorative light fixtures which are superior to standard City light fixtures and lend an air of privilege to the neighborhood; and (v) superior fire safety for residents due to the maintenance of emergency vehicle access road. All of these special benefits flow to all of the parcels located within the residential subdivision, and result in increased property values and enjoyment of the neighborhood for all 39 residential parcels and 1 government owned parcel.
