necessary or essential for the public good. E. Because the groundwater in the Santa Clara area shows contamination by private septic systems, because of the limitation on further development in the Santa Clara area imposed by the Environmental Quality Commission, and because the public has already spent approximately $38 million to construct sanitary sewerage facilities to serve the River Road and Santa Clara areas and must now fulfill its contractual obligations to the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency to make sanitary sewers available to the existing structures with plumbing fixtures, the City Council deems it necessary and essential that it now form local improvement districts to assess the cost of constructing the sanitary sewer system and to allow specially benefitted property to connect to the system when the connections are consistent with the provisions of the Metropolitan Area General Plan. F. At this time in order to avoid the premature development of vacant property in the Santa Clara area, the parcels of real property that are improved with structures having plumbing fixtures or developed with or only capable of being developed with adjacent properties under the same ownership shall be included within the local improvement district. Property encumbered with right-of-way used for roads, drainage, or other restrictions that prevent development of the property shall not be deemed to be benefited. G. On November 20, 1989, and in each fiscal year thereafter, sanitary sewer construction projects within the River Road and Santa Clara area basins were included in the Council approved CIP. On November 22, 1989, the Council directed the City Engineer to begin the design of these sanitary sewer projects as they were identified in the CIP. X,U,S RESOLUTION
