The committee has also been discussing the pros and cons of establishing connection charges with particular emphasis on higher charges for high—density developments,as there is an inequity in the relationship of taxes paid and services received between high—density and low-density developments.Several approaches to the current inequity problem are being considered and several revenue programs are being studied which will mcre fairly charge the user for the services rendered.The committee will seek the advice of the Districts’legal counsel before a recommendation is forthcoming. The Chairman stated that in connection with the request for annexation of approximately 1,337 acres by the City of Anaheim and Anaheim Hills,Inc.,it was the committee ‘s recommendation that said annexation be subject to any annexation fee established pursuant to completion of the Special Committee’s study. #2 5/2 4/72 R~port of staff re request The General Manager reported that the for annexation by CIty of staff ~iad rne~with the engineering Anaheim and Anaheim Hills staff of the City of An~.heIm an~ Inc.in Santa Ana Canyon area representatives from i~naheim Hills, Inc.in connection with the availability of sewer capacity for 1,337 acres proposed to be annexed to the District in the Santa Ana Canyon area.He reviewed the capacity in the Districts’present system and outlined the master planned facilities scheduled to be constructed to relieve the existing system.The alternatives of constructing water reclamation facilities in the vicinIty of the Riverside and Newport Freeway interchange and oversizing the Santa Ana River Interceptor were also reviewed.The General Manager pointed out that the cash flow statement which had been presented to the Directors reflected the large pipe size for the interceptor.The engineers reported that construction scheduling could accomodate the completion of Reach 2 of the Santa Ana River Interceptor (from Katella to Jefferson)which will ultimately serve the proposed Anaheim Hills development,at the same time as Reach 1 from .Treatment Plant No.1 to Katella. Based on present capacity,the staff has determined that a discharge could be accepted from the area proposed to be annexed of up to 350,000 gallons per day into the Districts’Olive Subtrunk Sewer during the .10w flow period,without restricting the development of any area presently within the District.It was the staff’s recommendation that the City of Anaheim and the firm of Anaheim Hills,Inc.be advised that annexation to the District at this time could only be accomplished with the understanding that the maximum flow acceptable from the area proposed to be annexed would be 350,000 gallons per day to be discharged during the low flow period untIl such time as facilities are.available to relieve the system.
