are divided into lateral and service Tine and dry line portions of the assessment and spread among all developed properties or portions thereof within the LID which have not previously been assessed or which were previously only partially assessed. Vacant properties outside the City will not be assessed but are included in the assessable unit cost calculations. The City will bear the vacant lot costs in anticipation of future collections through eight-inch equivalent assessments when the property is annexed and developed.} Vacant property within the City will be assessed in this LID. A small number of landlocked lots in common ownership with property adjacent to the right-of-way are considered to be developed and are proposed to be assessed consistent with past practice. Approximately nine properties have adjacent sewers from previous construction. An eight inch equivalent assessment for those sewers are included in this assessment. The majority of the properties taking sewer service from these facilities will be assessed based on a distribution of the cumulative construction and staff service costs for the three basins constructed by the City. This method of assessment is the same as that used since 1990 in the River RoadlSanta Clara area and is the same as procedures used within the City. Parcels Deleted From The LID after Formation Approximately 71 properties that were included in this years Local Improvement District at the time of formation were deleted from the LID. Delays in construction, desire to complete construction prior to winter and concern for extended disruption to property owners were considerations in deleting work from the construction contract and the associated properties from the LID. Letters were sent out October 30,1995, informing the property owners. These properties will be in the 1996 LID. Draina e Channels and Other Natural Features The assessments for approximately 11 b accounts in the 1995 LID were potentially affected by the existence of a drainage channel or natural;.drainage course on the property. City staff evaluated each of these drainage areas, using the three criteria established when the LID was formed: 1) the drainage way provides community-wide benefit; 2} the drainage way is recognized as an open channel drainage corridor in the City's storm drainage master plan or is a logical extension of the starmwater system in the master plan; and 3} the property within the drainage way is dedicated to the City or County, or there is an easement giving the public perpetual use of the drainage way for drainage purposes. These criteria have consistently been used for prior LIDS.
