"I am a duly registered civil engineer in the State of California and I am the duly appointed Town Engineer of Los Altos Hills. As the Town Engineer I was appointed Engineer of Work for Sanitary Sewer Assessment District No. 9 and was directed to make and file with the City Clerk a report, in writing consisting of a description of the acquisitions to be made, the engineer's statement of the itemized and total estimated costs and expenses of the acquisitions, including the incidental expenses in connection therewith, a diagram showing the assessment district and the boundaries and dimensions of the respective subdivisions of land within the district and an assessment in accordance with benefits. This report was prepared and filed with the Clerk on June 21, 1971 and is made a part of the record. The District is comprised of that portion of the Town of Los Altos Hills which will obtain sanitary sewage treatment from the City of Palo Alto and which will naturally flow by gravity in the direction of the City of Palo Alto. The District includes the area outlined on the map on display, a copy of which is on file in the office of the Clerk and is generally outlined as follows: On the west, north and east by the corporate limits of the Town of Los Altos Hills. On the South by a line identical to the northerly boundary of Sewer Assessment District No. 4 and in the vicinity of the following streets: Fremont Road, Campo Vista Lane, Robleda Road, Wildcrest Drive, Alta Lane North, Alta Tierra Road, La Paloma Road, Purissima Road, Junipero Serra Freeway, Taaffe Road and Altamont Road. The District contains approximately 21304.6 acres, exclusive of public rights of way. far In my opinion, all property benefiting from the proposed acquisitions has been included within the District and no property has been omitted. The project consists of the acquisition of capacity and disposal rights and the right of service and use in sanitary sewerage collection, transmission, treatment, outfall and disposal facilities of the City of Palo Alto for and on behalf of the properties within the proposed assessment district. The acquisition of these capacity rights and rights of service and use constitutes the basis for the spread of assessments. Capacity will be reserved for future connection by the properties within the pro- posed assessment district not now connected or served. The Town, in conjunction with the City of Palo Alto, has planned for, and construc- tion is now under way, of facilities by the City of Palo Alto of sufficient capacity to include and provide for the treatment of sewage from the area of the Town to be included within the proposed assessment district. One unit of benefit is assigned to the reservation or use of the capacity to provide sewage treatment service to one single family dwelling site with an average dry weather sewage discharge rate of 400 gallons per day. Existing lots or parcels of record and containing a nominal area of one acre are considered to be one dwell- ing site. Existing lots or parcels containing substantially less than one acre are also con- sidered to be one dwelling site provided that they are located in an area of pre- ` vailing similar lot sizes with existing dwelling structures. -4-
