He reported that the County of Orange had recently approved The Irvine Canpany's revised land use plan, and it is now before the Coastal Cca ission for anticipated approval. Mr. Maniscalco advised that the Coastal Commission was scheduled to hear the plan on November 19th, and noted that the Commission's staff was recommending approval of the plan, as submitted. If approved, this would provide the ultimate developmental layout for the Irvine coast. Final design plans for the major infrastructure, which will include the extension of water and sewer lines is currently underway. r 11/10/87 V District 5 Mr. Tan Dawes, the District's Director of Engineering, then reviewed District No. 5's current master plan of trunk sewers for serving the 0 downcoast area. Fbr financing master-planned facilities, County an District No. 5 is divided into three zones. Each has a separate residential and comnercial charge designed to meet the particular requirements of that zone. Zone 3, located southerly of the City of Newport Beach and termed the "downcoast area", includes some 3,400 acres of land which was annexed to the District by The Irvine Company in 1976. Since annexation, the land has been the subject of numerous land use plan studies, proposals and actions. 7t Mr. Dawes reiterated that recently The Irvine Company had received approval from the Orange County Planning Conmission for revisions to their land use plan. That plan now includes the construction of some 3,400 residential units and an estimated 3,210,000 square feet of conuercial development. This revised level of development, which is less than envisioned at the time of annexation, will generate an average flow of approximately two million gallons per day. He further reported that an analysis of the District's existing backbone sewer system, including the Bay Bridge Pumping Station and the dual force main conveyance system in Pacific Coast Highway, indicates that the system will be adequate to serve this level of development. The District's current master plan of trunk sewers, prepared in 1983, sets forth a sewer collection plan to serve the Zone 3 area which includes the construction of gravity sewers and force mains in Pacific Coast Highway between Corona del mar and Reef Point (southerly of Crystal Cove) . The existing Corona del Mar Pump Station, -which lifts sewage to a gravity sewer (the East Coast Highway Trunk) , would be abandoned and replaced by the t construction of a new gravity line in Bayside Drive. The construction of the master-planned Sanitation District collection system within Zone No. 3 and portions of the Bayside Drive gravity sewer has long been planned to be financed by connection charges collected within Zone 3. i. Mr. Dawes pointed out that Zone 3 is within the Irvine Ranch Water District tll (IRWD) boundaries and IRWD plans to provide the local sewer service. He added that, as previously reported to Directors, IRWD has prepared a plan for providing financing for construction of District No. 5's master-planned trunk sewers to serve Zone No. 3 and for construction of the local sewer collection system. Mr. Ron Young, General Manager of the Irvine Ranch Water District, also addressed the Board and briefly reviewed one possible method of financing the construction cost of the new facilities required to serve the downcoast area, as well as the local sewer collection system, through use of general obligation bonds. Mr. Young indicated that the funding limit of IRWD's previously-authorized bonds would be more than adequate to cover the design J and construction costs of said facilities. Informally, a plan is being considered under which IRWD and/or The Irvine Company would finance the J -J construction of the District No. 5 master-planned facilities to serve the downcoast area, and to pay the connection fees for the entire development upfront. The tentative plan is subject to a review of the connection fe e schedule to reflect the reduced development levels for the downcoast area. -2- 11/10/87 District 5 The Directors then entered into a discussion relative to the need for rehabilitation of the District's existing trunk sewers, as well as additional facilities required to serve the downcoast area, and the costs associated therewith.
