The Board of Directors of the Costa Mesa Sanitary District met in
special session at 7:30 o'clock p.m., January 17, 1962, upon
call of the President of the Board, to discuss and act upon the
installation of sewer mains to serve a portion of the Mesa Verde
area.
The meeting was called to order by President Meyers.
Pemba Sub - dividers, Wally Gayner, representing Pemba Sub - dividers, Inc. and Lincoln
Inc. (Wally Gayner) Savings and Loan Association, informed the Board of their plans
Req. for District's for sub - dividing a portion of the Mesa Verde area adjacent to
Participation in and northerly of Adams Avenue. Mr. Gayner stated that he and
• Sewer Main his associates were ready to develop Tracts 43+9, 4348, and
4341. He stated that in order to develop these tracts it would
be necessary to put in a gravity sewer line from the existing
line (approximately 800 feet) west of Harbor Boulevard on Adams
to Mesa Verde Drive, and to further construct a force sewer
main and pump station westerly from Mesa Verde Drive westerly
along Adams to the end of Tract No. 4349.-
Mr. Gayner stated that he and his associates'were willing to
construct the force sewer main and pump station, as above
described, at their own cost and expense, provided that the
District would enter into an agreement that no one could connect
on to said line without first paying to Mr. Gayner and his
associates their pro -rata share of the cost'of such construction
as determined by the District Engineer.
He pointed out to the Board, however, that this alone would not
solve the problem because of the gap in'-the sewer system between
Mesa Verde Drive and the end of the existing sewer facilities
on Adams Avenue (approximately 3,800 feet) westerly of Harbor
Boulevard. Mr. Gayner stated that he felt that this gravity
sewer line should be installed by the District at the District's
expense, and that it would be to the benefit of the District to
so install said line in order to allow the area to the west
to develop, and, thus, increase the assessed valuation of the
District. Mr. Gayner stated that he knew, of course, that the
District would charge all owners their pro -rata share of the
cost of installing said gravity sewer line, and that he and
