Shopping? In Valley Center? Wow.
Sewer plan for southern Valley Center moves ahead
By: QUINN EASTMAN - Staff Writer
VALLEY CENTER -- Water district officials have worked out a phased plan for building a shared sewer system for the commercial area in southern Valley Center.
Long-frustrated owners of commercial property along Valley Center Road seemed pleased as the Valley Center Municipal Water District's board approved the plan Monday afternoon.
Under the plan, property owners who want to build homes and a shopping center on Valley Center Road across from Mirar de Valle Road will pay for the design and construction of the next phase.
Bell Enterprises, one of the group, has been planning to build the shopping center, which would have a Major Market, for decades.
Bonds from an assessment district, encompassing Bell's, Alti's and other nearby properties, will be used to reimburse Bell Enterprises and Alti Corporation.
Some property owners in the area roughly between Woods Valley and Old Roads have already sent the district deposits of $2,500 per home. People interested in sewer service have until March 5 to apply.
The first phase, construction of a sewer treatment plant for the Woods Valley Ranch development, is scheduled to be finished in March.
Most of the 270 homes at Woods Valley Ranch are already built and residents have been using a temporary treatment plant to treat their waste. The effluent from Woods Valley Ranch is used to irrigate its golf course.
Construction of the second phase probably won't start for at least another year, general manager Gary Arant said. However, Bell and Alti's willingness to pay up front -- at least $12 million, according to previous water district estimates -- could save them several months, he said.
