Supervisor Tom Torlakson Chairman, Board of Supervisors County of Contra Costa 651 Pine Street, Room 105 Martinez, CA 94553 Re: Cypress Lakes Boundary Reorganization Dear Chairman Torlakson: Chartered Land and Cattle Company ( "Chartered) hereby requests that the Board of Supervisors for Contra Costa County (Board) adopt a Resolution of Application for Reorganization of the (Cypress Lakes ) Area under the provisions of the Cortese-Knox Act (G.C. 56800, et seq. ) ; for presentation to the Contra Costa County Local Agency Commission (LAFCO) . 1. Background a. Name of Project and Applicant of Process Chartered Land & Cattle Co. (Applicant) - Three Sisters Trust (Owner) . County File #2918-RZ, County File #3032-90, County File Subdivisi-on 47652 . b. Project Location The subject project is located on Hotchkiss Tract in the Bethel Island planning area, approximately 2 . 7 miles east of Oakley. The project site is bordered to the west by Bethel Island Road, to the north and east by Sandmound Blvd. , and to the south by agricultural uses . CC: Zoard M C.D D - -A • - a( 101 Ygnacio Valley Road. Suite 400 • Walnut Creek.CA 94596 • Fax (510)947-2091 • Phone(510)947-1047 C. Project Description The Cypress Lakes and Country Club project would be constructed on approximately 685 . 9 acres consisting of seven parcels . The project would consist of 1330 single-family units . In addition, the project would include an 18-hole golf course with amenities . d. History The 1978 East County Area General Plan provided for the preparation of a specific plan for the Bethel Island Area. After completion of two draft environmental impact reports, certification of a final environmental impact report and several specific plan drafts, the Bethel Island Area Specific Plan was adopted by Board on July 10, 1990. Attached please find a time line more specifically outlining the past events . e. Status Currently, the FEIR is being disturbed and certification by the East County Planning Commission is scheduled for March 29, 1993 along with the approval of the subdivision and recommendation of approval of the rezoning, preliminary and final development plans . 2 . Proposed Boundary Changes Development of the Cypress Lakes area necessitates the following boundary changes:. a. Oakley Water District The Oakley Water District is the most feasible district to provide service to the project for the following reasons: (1) The OWD has provided the project applicant with a "Will Serve" letter for the project. (2) The OWD has an agreement with the Contra Costa Water District for a 15 mgd right in the new 40 mgd Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plant. (3) Service to the project area was discussed in the District' s October 1991 Master Water Plan which identified an ultimate water demand for the Bethel Island Area of 3 . 9 mgd. b. Contra Costa Water District If the project is annexed into the OWD, the project area would need to be annexed to the service area of CCWD as apart of their joint agreement on the Randall-Bold Water Treatment Plant. C. Ironhouse Sanitary District Currently, most of the project is in the Ironhouse Sanitary District. Approximately, 175 acres need to be annexed to the district inorder to serve the entire project. d. Oakley and Bethel Island Fire Districts Currently, the project is in both the Oakley and Bethel Island Fire Districts . The boundary is a Cypress Road, cutting the project in half . Both districts have shown interest in serving the project. There are two options: (a) Consolidate the two districts . (b) Do a district line adjustment putting the project into one or the other districts . Since Water, Schools and Sewer will be serviced by the Oakley Districts, it would probably be appropriate to be annexed to the Oakely Fire District. 3 . Action Requested For the reasons set forth herein, we request that the Board adopt a Resolution of Application for the Cypress Lakes Area Boundary Reorganization, for presentation to LAFCO. We request that the Resolution request LAFCO to initiate proceedings to annex the Cypress Lakes Area to the Oakley Water District and CCWD; Ironhouse Sanitary District; and Oakley Fire District; and for consolidation of the Bethel Island and Oakley Fire Districts. We request that this Resolution be adopted at the time the Board hears the Project which is scheduled for either April 6, or April 20, 1993 . This request is made pursuant to G.C. 56800, et seq. As required by statute, under separate cover we will submit a Plan for Services, setting forth the specific services necessary for the project and a plan for their provision. The environmental analysis set forth the Cypress Lakes EIR provides an adequate basis for LAFCO's environmental review of this Reorganization. We will be happy to address this issue further with County representatives, and with LAFCO staff . r - - Thank you for your consideration of our request. We look forward to working with the Board and with staff on the project and on these annexation proceedings . Please do no hesitate to contact me at the number below or Patricia Curtin at 837-0585 with any questions on these matters .
