The affected territory for annexation, detachment and creation of a county service area is referred to as Alamo Springs (Subdivision SD 7452), a proposed 54- lot single family home residential housing project (currently uninhabited land). Project Description/Affected Territory The Alamo Springs project is located at the northeast terminus of La Gonda Way, including areas of the unincorporated community of Alamo and the Town of Danville (APN 197-082-014, -016, -017, -018, -020 and 197-050-024). The project, which encompasses approximately 148 acres, is a 54-1ot subdivision for single-family home development. Because the property is subject to the jurisdiction of both Contra Costa County and the Town of Danville, all land use entitlements were jointly approved by both entities pursuant to a Memorandum of Understanding. As approved, portions of the subdivision will remain in both unincorporated Alamo and the Town of Danville. The annexation and detachment are necessary to adjust the boundary line between the County and the Town to ensure that all of the newly created lots in the subdivision will be located wholly within either the County or the Town. Services to be Extended to the Property Consistent with the Memorandum of Understanding between the County and the Town, the Town of Danville will extend the following municipal services to the portions of the property remaining in unincorporated Alamo: Police Services (includes Community Services, Investigation, Patrol and Traffic Enforcement) Parks and Recreation (includes Cultural Arts, Senior Services, Volunteer Services, Youth Services and Sports and Fitness) Maintenance (includes Park Maintenance, Street Maintenance, Traffic Safety and Roadside Landscape Maintenance) All other public~ services will be provided ,by ~,other existing-districts and agencies with no changes. In addition, the County and the Town will continue to provide general government and development services to those portions of the subdivision remaining within their jurisdiction. Exhibit 2 Level of Services Municipal services to be provided to the project by the Town will be provided in accordance with service levels currently present throughout the Town of Danville, as described in the Town of Danville Financial Plan for 1997/98. Police and parks services will be provided in accordance with Growth Management Element performance standards. Timing of Extension of Services All municipal services to be provided to the project by the Town will be available immediately upon completion of the reorganization proceedings. Public Improvements Conditions of approval for the project require the developer to construct extensive public improvements, including road, sewer and stormwater facilities. The developer will be required to make improvements to a portion of La Gonda Way, a public street within the Town of Danville, and may establish a Benefit District to recoup a portion of those costs. Funding Sources In order to fund the provision of municipal services to those lots remaining within unincorporated Alamo, the developer has agreed to create a county service area (CSA). This new CSA will reimburse the Town of Danville for the provision of police services, street maintenance, parks maintenance and roadside landscaping maintenance. 2
