Report
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Board of Directors of the Pajaro County Sanitation District adopt a resolution in support of the Board of Supervisors adopting a resolution to approve and authorize the County Administrative Officer to execute a Certificate of Acceptance and Consent to Recordation, on behalf of the Grantee, Pajaro County Sanitation District, accepting a Warranty Deed conveying the sewer improvements to an existing sanitary sewer main infrastructure near 5 Hillcrest Road in the public right-of-way in the unincorporated community of Royal Oaks, California.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
As a condition of County Building Permits Nos. 19CP02388 & 18CP03320, Ahmed Saba (Grantor) was required to extend a Pajaro County Sanitation District (PCSD) sewer main and install sanitary sewer improvements to serve a new guest home, located at 5 Hillcrest Road (Assessor’s Parcel Number 117-081-013-000), in the unincorporated community of Royal Oaks, California.
The extended sewer main improvements are located within County Road right-of-way and were constructed in compliance with current California Building Code standards. PCSD Standards, section 10 Building Sewer Construction, condition 8, states: “Upon completion, all new improvements shall be deeded to the District for acceptance.” A Deed from the Grantor to the Grantee (PCSD) is required, and the Grantee must approve and accept the improvements via a Certificate of Acceptance.
The interests recommended for transfer to the Grantee are new improvements to existing sanitary sewer infrastructure, consisting of approximately 70 linear feet of 8-inch-diameter sanitary sewer main line, laterals, tie-ins, and manhole(s) (hereinafter property) installed within the public right-of-way and easement as further depicted and described in Attachment A. The sewer improvements have been completed and inspected by County building officials and were found to have been constructed to applicable code standards for acceptance.
The Grantor agrees to replace, repair, and correct any defect in work or materials in respect to the property arising during a period of two (2) years from the date of recordation, without cost to the Grantee. The Grantor further warrants any potential corrected work completed during the initial two (2) year period for one (1) additional year after acceptance of the corrected work by the Grantee.
This proposed ownership transfer is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines section 15319 as the ownership transfer is an annexation to a special district of an area containing existing public structures developed to the density allowed by the current zoning.
Concurrently today, the Board of Supervisors, acting on behalf of the PCSD, will consider acceptance of this property. RMA requests that the PCSD Board of Directors adopt a resolution in support of the Board of Supervisors approving and authorizing the County Administrative Officer to execute the Certificate of Acceptance and Consent to Recordation accepting the Warranty Deed conveying this property to PCSD.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None.
FINANCING:
Staff time to prepare this report is included in the Fiscal Year 2020-21 Adopted Budget for PCSD, Fund 151, Appropriation Unit RMA040.
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS STRATEGIC INITIATIVES:
The recommended action supports the Board of Supervisors’ Health and Human Services and Infrastructure Strategic Initiatives. Oversight of County building permit conditions ensures that sewer infrastructure improvements are constructed to code and transferred as required to PCSD. The Board of Supervisors’ acceptance of this property under a Warranty Deed warrants the infrastructure improvements against failure and protects PCSD from costs related to potential failure. Properly functioning sewer infrastructure protects the health and safety of area residents.
