This area has also been referred to as the Donlon Way Historic Area and consists of approximately 38 acres of land located northwest of San Ramon Road and Interstate 580. Consultant Bill Wiseman, Project Manager with RBF Consultinz, reviewed the project's scope of work, project goals, and the key points of the Design Guideline. The project goals are to preserve and enhance the area, guide the design of future development, and improve the public realm. Cm. McCormick referred to the peripheral area of the historic area boundary n around the Shell Station and the restaurant on the east side of San Ramon Road.. and asked if the City would have the opportunity to apply these guidelines if any of those businesses left or change hands. Ms. Bascom indicated that the Council included four properties east of San Ramon Road in the original moratorium area: the See's Candy site, the gas station site, the restaurant site and the now-vacant Bruner's site. As Staff worked with the Consultant to refine the design guidelines and architectural design for buildings that are remodeled in the historic area, the 1850's - 1920's era was settled on to replicate the existinz buildings- the Old St. Raymond's, the Old Murray Schoolhouse, and the Green Store. Staff realized to apply those architectural guidelines to the four properties on the east side of San Ramon would make them look very odd with the buildings that surround them as the CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 24 REGULAR MEETING January 18, 2005 PAGE 23 buildings were surrounded by contemporary 1960-1980's commercial buildings. Those properties were also more isolated from the cohesive historic core and to apply the design guidelines to them might look a little out of character. It was the recommendation of Staff, the Consultant and the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission to pull in the boundaries of the proposed Historic District to include only those properties west of San Ramon Road. As proposed by Staff, if any of those four properties east of San Ramon Road were to change hands or go through remodel, they would go through the standard City Site Development Review process and not be subject to the design guidelines, unless the Council opted to keep the original moratorium district boundaries. Cm. McCormick asked about park land in the area. Ms. Bascom advised that park land was going through a separate process, and the Council had authorized the appraisal of a few potential park sites. That project would continue outside these design guidelines. Cm. McCormick recommended that any play equipment in future area parks be in keepinz with the style of 1850's. It would be a new experience for the children of Du blin. The Council and Staff discussed prospective park land in the historic area, and agreed that the Council would deal with the park issue when considerinz the Parks Master Plan Study in the next month or so. Geogeann Vonheeder-Leopold, Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, advised that the Commission was very pleased with the ultimate report prepared by the Consultant. The Consultant listened and heard what the Commission felt was important. Mayor Pro Tem Zika closed the public hearinz. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Cm. McCormick and by unanimous vote (Mayor Lockhart absent), the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 07 - 05 APPROVING THE DUBLIN VILLAGE HISTORIC AREA DESIGN GUIDELINES And waived the reading and INTRODUCED an Ordinance creatinz a new Chapter 8.62 of the Dublin Municipal Code to create provisions for Historic Overlay Zoninz District Site Development Review, amending Chapter 8.104 of the Dublin Municipal Code relating to Site Development Review, and amending the Zoning Map to create a new Historic Overlay Zoning District. ..

Oravetz asked if residents would receive new cans and, if so, would the receipt of new cans overlap with the old cans. Mr. ßerhmann advised that residents would receive three new cans, and there may be some overlap before the old cans were picked up. The Consultants will help to make the transition as smooth and quick as possible. On motion of Cm. McCormick, seconded by Cm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote (Mayor Lockhart absent), the Council adopted CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 24 REGULAR MEETING January IS, 2005 PAGE 25 RESOLUTION NO. 08 - 05 APPROVING AN AGREEMENT WITH R3 CONSULTING GROUP FOR SOLID WASTE FRANCHISE TRANSITION AND CONSTRUCTION AND DEMOLITION DEBRIS FRANCHISE SERVICES And approved a Budget Change in the amount of $55,890 from Unappropriated Recycling Fund Reserves. .

The Council discussed the proposed artwork, which was different than in years past. Although they liked the concept, they felt the poster looked somewhat cluttered. The lack of options was also a concern. In the past, they have always had a choice of three. Mr. McCreary advised that Staff would streamline the proposed poster to make it less cluttered, and indicated that Staff hoped to use the same concept in years to come by updating the photos annually.
