92-527 TSTM,  Spring Ranch Estates

August 7, 2002 the County provided a letter regarding moratorium periods for 92-527 Tentative Subdivision Tract Map for Spring Ranch Estates. The motion by the Board of Directors of CALAVERAS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT (CCWD) approved on June 13^th, 2001 that constitutes a development moratorium as defined in Government Code ?66452.6 (f) has been lifted.

Pursuant to your letter CCWD lifted the moratorium on July 30, 2003. We have calculated an expiration date and have determined that 537 days from July 30, 2003 is January 17^th, 2005 the new expiration date. The 17^th, of January is Martin Luther King Day and the County Offices will be closed for the holiday. This means that the effective date for the expiration is Tuesday, January 18, 2005. To make a timely filing of a final map, the County Surveyor will need all clearances delivered to him along with the map in a proper form (all necessary signatures on the map, corrections made, taxes paid, etc.) on that date, except for those things over which the applicant has no control, for the County to do the final processing. If the map is not able to be recorded prior to the expiration date a new application for a Tentative Subdivision Tract Map will have to be submitted.

Project 92-527 has expired. No new application has been submitted, and to complicate things the Rancho Calaveras Special Plan now limits the density to one acre lots. The original map was for fifty-one (51) ? acre lots, and the potential is now limited to 25 lots.

 

APN # 73-042-087  Valley Springs Estates, TSTM 474, M. Chu

This letter is in response your letter received on June 24^th, 2003 regarding the County's position on development moratoriums. The property that you are inquiring about is APN 73-042-087 owned by Ms. Miriam Chu and located in the La Contenta area. The site, a 31 ? acre parcel was approved for Tentative Subdivision Tract Map, Valley Springs Estates, Tract 474, on December 16, 1993. The approved subdivision is for 71 single family lots. Through State mandated extensions and discretionary extensions the tentative map was to expire on December 16, 2002.  Tract 474 is located within Calaveras County Water District's Assessment District 604 (A. D. 604).

On June 13^th, 2001 the Board of Directors of CALAVERAS COUNTY WATER DISTRICT (CCWD), approved a motion that states:

Based upon the determination of the District Engineer that present sewer treatment capacity is not adequate to serve additional connections, development outside of the New Hogan/La Contenta Wastewater Treatment Facility service area is precluded until the Board determines that capacity is available.

CCWD's motion meets the definition of a development moratorium as set forth in Government Code ?66452.6 (f). Recently, CCWD informed you that connections within A. D. 604 are on a first come first serve basis and that there are approximately 20 connections per year available for the next four years. They further state that the connections are for historic rates for in-fill lots and small development. Finally, CCWD states that developments such as Valley Springs Estates, will be required to pre-pay connections if they want to accelerate funding for expansion of the treatment facility ahead of CCWD's current schedule.

CCWD's position is that even though your project is within their service area, they do not have the capacity to serve the project and may not have capacity until after 2005. The County interprets CCWD's inability to currently serve the capacity of your project as a continuation of the moratorium established on June 13^th, 2001. This moratorium extends until CCWD declares it has the capacity to serve your project or on June 13^th, 2006 whichever comes first. At that time the project would have just over eighteen months until the conditionally approved tentative map expires.

Above is a letter sent in June of 2003. A six lot unit was recorded and the balance has a final map submitted and is in process.
