There are supposed to be 35 dealers and there are only 17 or 18 participants. If they don't continue to get their 35 producers, they could be in trouble with the agreement. They are going to say Donlon is not really where they want to be and they'll use this to be able to move it. He reported that information had come to him that there were 14 violations in California in 13 cities totaling $13,000. He will be the watchdog to make sure they are right. It is difficult for him to be in 350 different cities. There are some improprieties in the contract. If we are going to do it, do it right. + CONSENT CALENDAR 7:19 p.m. Items 4.1 through 4.22 On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm.

Mayor Houston announced that Item 8.2 would be moved forward on the agenda. EMERALD GLEN PARK MASTER PLAN AND PHASE I DEVELOPMENT 7:20 p.m. 8.2 (920-30) Parks & Community Services Director Lowart presented the Staff Report and advised that the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan had been developed which was one of the Council's 1997 high priority goals. Emerald Glen Park is located on Tassajara Road between Central Parkway and Gleason Road on the Santa Rita property in Eastern Dublin. The Master Plan outlines the present and future development of the park. The Council is being asked at this time to consider the proposed Phase I development of the park. The Master Plan Cost Estimate is: . Landscape - $7,920,776; Infrastructure - $1,989,500; and Buildings - $13,633,250 for a total of $23,543,526. Ms. Lowart discussed the role of the Emerald Glen Park Task Force and stated they had 7 meetings over the last 6 1/2 months, one of which was a community workshop where the public was invited to comment on the preliminary Master Plan. In addition, the Draft Master Plan was publicly reviewed ')n 2 separate occasions by the Parks & Community Services Commission. The Commission unanimously approved the Draft Master Plan at their May meeting. Phase I Improvements would include: One 90' Diamond Two 60' Diamonds One Soccer (regulation) One Soccer (overlap with diamond) Four Tennis Courts (Lighted Two Basketball Courts (Lighted) Play Area Picnic Area Skateboard Park Plaza and Promenade Restroom Perimeter Trail Parking for 100 Cars Streets cape and Entries (2) CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 17 R=.CULAR MEETING June 16T 1998 PAGE 277 . . Estimated cost for Phase I, including design and inspection is $3,808,775. Ms. Lowart discussed the financing of improvements detailed in the Staff Report. . In conclusion, the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan lays the groundwork for park development by documenting the goals, priorities and design parameters which will govern the development of each phase. Ms. Lowart stated it should be acknowledged that the Master Plan could not have been accomplished without the dedication and commitment of the Task Force members. The Task Force began with a vision for a park that the community would view as a special place and make a statement about the Dublin community. The Master Plan is a reflection of that vision. Georze Zika asked that people on the Task Force stand. It was great that we didn't limit participation. It worked out absolutely great. They were all envious of Central Park in San Ramon. This is the first park that we've been able to design from the ground up. We will have the emerald of the valley. There's a basic cost of about $2 million to get this going. Mr. Ambrose, who is not known for being loose with a dollar, broke the log jam. They were very appreciative of this. When we get this done, we will be the jewel of the valley. There are no buildings in the . first phase. He introduced Linda and David Gates, the experts. Linda Gates explained the process they went through in designing this park and showed several picture boards and visual aids. The committee wanted this to be a very strong signature park. Dave Gates showed about 1 5 slides of the area. This is 50 acres of flat land right now, but situated in what will be one of the key areas of our City. It has a major creek system and habitat zone and will be part of a trail system. He discussed the first impression zone surrounded by a small lake system, tied to a promenade, or outdoor corridor. There will be a whole cluster of uses clumped around a crescent; a pedestrian space. In the middle will be Town Square and this is really the heart of this plan. A large amphitheater will sit as a backdrop for the lake. There will be 1,500 to 2,000 people that can fit by gathering. Fireworks could be set off there. This would be like a small version of the Concord Pavilion. Wind is an issue, so it will be heavily planted. The buildings are close enough that activities can spill over into one another. em. Burton asked about arrangements for bus stops or pullouts. . CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUl",E 17 R~G U L.AR l"l:.ETiNG June leT 1998 PAGE 278 Mr. Gates stated hopefully we will see local transit and some jitneys, and some . special types of transit there. They will work out the details in Phase 1. Cm. Lockhart asked about the proximity of the ball fields and the play area to the . water elements. She didn't know how close they were together. She was concerned that little ones might wander a.way from their parents and endanger themselves. Mr. Gates stated the lake has to be fenced for safety reasons. They wanted it as a visual element. Linda Gates discussed what will be included in Phase I. It will be a fairly ambitious schedule to go out to bid in August of 1999. They will be looking at bus circulation. This is 19 acres and a lot of the money is in the structures. Cm. Burton asked about the hook up with recycled water. Linda Gates stated they hoped this would be their irrigation source of water. Mr. Ambrose stated it is important to understand that the park is being built with Public Facility Impact Fees and we've done a rather lengthy study to ascertain . what will be available. It may be a few years before Phase II comes on line. Mayor Houston asked about the time lag for Phase II. Mr. Ambrose stated it depends on what the City Council does with their library report. There are competing priorities for the money. The City must manage their cash flow and prioritize the projects. Cm. Burton clarified that this park is being built with monies coming from Eastern Dublin development. Mr. Ambrose stated in August of 1999 a portion of the facility will be available for use. Mayor Houston commended everyone who was part of the Task Force. Their efforts are appreciated. Ms. Lowart stated there will be additional public meetings to refine the first phase development. CITY COUNCIL MiNUTES VOLUlv'fE 17 R.EG U LAR MEET!i\!G June 16, 1998 PAGE 279 . . . . On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote, the Council approved the Emerald Glen Park Master Plan and approved Phase I and authorized Staff to negotiate an agreement for design services for City Council approval at a future meeting. ... PUBLIC HEARING JEFFERSON AT DUBLIN DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT PA 97-018 7:51 p.m. 6.1 (600-60) Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. Senior Planner Jeri Ram presented the Staff Report and advised that a proposed ordinance is being presented for a second reading which would approve a Development Agreement between the City of Dublin and Alameda County Surplus Property Authority for the Jefferson at Dublin project. The DA is required by the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. Items included in the DA include, but are not limited to, the financing and timing of infrastructure and the payment of traffic, noise and public facilities impact fees. The Agreement provides for the dedication of 2.84 additional acres of land (above the Public Facilities Fee Requirement of 3.68 acres) for the future City Park to be located east of Tassajara Creek. This additional acreage will be dedicated early to enable the City to move forward on a new park at that location. The 2.84 acres will be credited to the developer and used as a credit for future projects towards their parkland dedication requirements. No public testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this Issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Barnes, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO.8 - 98 APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR PA. 97-018, THE JEfFERSON AT DUBLIN PROJECT ...

Planning Consultant Jerry Haag presented the Staff Report and advised that this is the second reading of an Ordinance which would approve the Planned Development Rezone for PA 98-010, Park Sierra Apartments Phase II project. The project is located on a 5.7 acre site north of the Southern Pacific Railroad right- of-way (future Iron Horse Trail), east of Alamo Creek and west of the Arroyo Vista Housing complex. No public testimony was entered by any member of the public relative to this Issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of em. Barnes, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted . ORDINANCE NO.. 9 - 98 AMENDING THE ZONING MAP TO REZONE PROPERlY LOCATED NORTH OF THE fORMER SOUTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD RIGHT-Of-WAY, EAST Of AlAMO CREEK AND WEST OF ARROYO VISTA HOUSING COMPLEX (APNs 941-0007-001-02 & 941-0007-002-00) TO A PlANNED DEVELOPMENT ZONING DISTRICT AND ADOPTING A DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR PARK SIERRA PHASE II (PA 98-010) .. PUBLIC HEARING - PA 98-016 EASTERN DUBLIN SPECIFIC PLAN AMENDMENT 7:54 p.m. 6.3 (410-55) Community Development Director Peabody asked that this item be withdrawn. There are no impacts on any projects underway. Staff needs to make a minor amendment. Mayor Houston stated the item was withdrawn. +- CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 17 REGULAR MEETP~G june 161 1 S>9'8 peAGE 281 . . PUBLIC HEARING BUSINESS REGISTRATION ORDINANCE 7:55 p.m. 6.4 (390-40) Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. City Attorney Silver presented ~e Staff Report and advised that this item is for the Council to revi'ew and consider amending the Business Registration Ordinance as it applies to fairs, festivals, farmerS markets and special events. . Ms. Silver explained that the City's Business Registration Ordinance (Dublin Municipal Code Chapter 4.04) requires all individuals doing business in Dublin to obtain an annual business license, which applies to the Dublin Farmers' Market, the Dublin Pasta & Jazz Festival and other similar festivals or events. Once UVFM and GoodTimes Promotion have obtained all required zoning and other applicable approvals and permits and have obtained a business license, the question -becomes whether the individuals who sell food and/or goods at either event are also required to obtain a separate business license. Under the current terms of the Business Registration Ordinance, all individuals who sell food and! or goods would need to procure separate business licenses. Many cities allow small vendors and growers that participate in these types of events to work under the master business license of an operator. Ms. Silver stated in order to help promote the City through the use of festivals, fairs, farmers markets and special eyents, Staff suggested that the City Council consider amending the Business Registration Ordinance to clarify its application for festival-type activities. Ms. Silver stated two Ordinance were presented to the Council for consideration. Ordinance A would add a sentence to Section 4.04.020 at the end of the definition: .Person and persons shall also include the operator of a festiva4 fair, fanners7 market or similar event (organizer) and all other persons who seD or offer to seD goods and/or food at the event (purveyors) through contract with the organizer or otherwise. 77 . Ordinance B would add this same verbiage and in addition, would add .'Section 4.04.205 - Master Business License for Festival Organizers. The organizer of a festival, fair7 farmers7 market or similar event sha1l obtain a master license for himself and all purveyors of goods and/or food who will participate in the event. CITY COUNCIL lv1INUTES VOLUlv1E 17 R::G! f! A R 'v'7;:;:-I' IN!: loP ~_.... (I~_ I........ June 16, 1998 PAGE 282 No individual punreyors shall be required to obtain a separate license. Section . 4.04.220 is amended. Application - - First License. In the event the application is made for issuance of a master license to a festival organize17 the application shaD set forth the names and addresses of all purveyors, and the goods and/or food to be purveyed Any further infonnation which the Collector may require to enable him or her to issue the license. Section 4.04.250 - - Business Registration Fees is amended to read as follows: The business registration fees, which are found to be commensurate with the cost of issuance a/the license, are as follows: A. General business, $50 per business; B. ltiiJ.erant business, $10 per day (limited to a maximum fee of $50 per calendar year; c: Temporary places of sale, $10 per day; and D. Master License for Organizer, $50 per pennitted event. >> Cm. Burton commented that many times the individuals are not that successful. He would rather see the master situation with one fee. He asked if an event had a list of 75 or so people, would we be able to check to make sure they are appropriate. Mr. Ambrose stated often times with festivals, we have people come into town and just slide in when they're not really a part of the event. Mayor. Houston felt a master list would be easier on Staff. We would still be on . top of this. Cm. Barnes clarified that GoodTimes Promotions would pay once and Farmers Market operators pay one fee per year. Cm. Lockhart felt we are contracting with a promoter and therefore there would be someone responsible for the list. If it streamlines this for Staff and makes the promoter responsible, then she agreed that it makes more sense and she would approve Option B. No public testimony was entered by any member of the ,public relative to this Issue. Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and INTRODUCED Ordinance B which was Exhibit 3 of the Staff Report. ... CiTY COUNCIL M!NUTES VOLUME 17 R:.G U LA R MEETn\!G JUf;~ 16, 1,.98 P.!..GE 283 . . . . PUBLIC HEARING TRI-VALLEY TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEE 8:02 p.m. 6.5 (1060-90) Mayor Houston opened the public hearing. City Attorney Silver presented the Staff Report and indicated that this item would establish a Regional Transportation Fee to be paid by new development in Dublin. The collected fees would be spent on regional transportation improvements which are mitigations for the new traffic generated by new development. The 1-580/1-680 Flyover is designated as the first priority. .Ms. Silver stated the TVTD Fee will be used to partially finance the following 11 Transportation Improvement Projects: 1) Improvements to the 1-580/1-680 interchange: construct a southbound 1-680 to eastbound 1-580 flyover and associated improvements (not to exceed $5,548,300) 2) Improvements to State Route 84 between 1-580 and 1-680 3) Auxiliary lanes along 1-680 from Diablo Road to Bollinger Canyon road 4) West Dublin/Pleasanton BART Station 5) 1-580 HOV lanes between Santa Rita Road and Greenville Road 6) 1-680 HOV lanes from the State Route 84/1-680 interchange to the top of the Sunol Grade 7) Improvements to the I-580/Foothill Road/San Ramon Road interchange 8) Improvements to 1-680/ Alcosta Boulevard interchange 9) Crow Canyon Road safety improvement west of Bollinger Canyon Road 10) Vasco Road safety improvements north of 1-580 within Alameda County 11) Express bus service in the Tri - Valley area The total cost of these improvements is $535 million; $166 million of which the TVTC has already secured. Discussed other fees (per parcel). Ms. Silver discussed the Required Findings, Amount of Fees, Annual Reports, and Environmental Review as detailed in the Staff Report Mayor Houston asked if we adopt everything and if everybody is not yet on board by September 1st, then we don't start collecting? Ms. Silver stated yes, our fee will become effective when all the others are effective. CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 17 REG U LAR MEETING June 16T 1998 PAGE 284 Cm. Burton commented this is the same fee that has been in the works for nearly 10 years. . Mayor Houston stated at this time we are down to splitting the finest of hairs in getting this resolved. Everybody has an opportunity to opt out after 6 months, but if they opt out, they can't get back in. The list will be developed during the first 6 months. Every month, more and more projects are getting approved; not only in Dublin, but everywhere. The monies will be going into a treasury, so theoretically, if someone is in for a few years and collects potentially a couple million dollars, the money would stay in the bank, so it would not be advantageous for anyone to opt out. Cm. Barnes asked who had said yes so far. Ms. Silver stated the next item on the agenda addresses changes with the Joint Powers Agreement. Before the TVTC considered and recommended the changes, the Cities of San Ramon, Livermore, DanviIle and Dublin all approved the JP A and also the Board of Supervisors of Alameda County. The only one remaining was Contra Costa County who has not yet considered the JP A or the fee. She learned today that Contra Costa County has another issue and they will suggest a way the 5 cities and Alameda County can address Contra Costa County's concerns. We don't know for sure what the letter will say related to their concerns. She felt we . can take action to alleviate their concerns. Cm. Lockhart asked if they talked about whose projects would produce the money and asked if Tassajara Valley was included. Mayor Houston stated Dougherty Valley was the big producer. What's happened recently doesn't affect it whatsoever. Cm. Lockhart asked if a treasurer had been selected. Mayor Houston stated no, but he hoped that Pleasanton will do this. They have volunteered their services. George Zika asked what exemptions there are from this fee. Mayor Houston stated he thought the only exemptions are alterations to existing structures, public schools, subsidized housing, government buildings and development subject to an existing development agreement. The fees will be paid when the building permit is pulled. CITY COUNCIL t"iINUTES VOLUMS 17 REGULAR MEET!hlG June 16T 1998 PAGE 285 . . . . Mayor Houston discussed the issue of exempting government buildings. .Ms. Silver stated there is language which discusses governmental buildings for the public entity. Mayor Houston clarified that the beneficiary is the member jurisdictions, no one else. . Mayor Houston closed the public hearing. On motion of Cm. Lockhart, seconded by Cm. Howard, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO.. 89 .. 98 ESTABLISHING A TRI..VALLEY TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEE FOR FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS WITHIN THE CITY OF DUBLIN ... MODIFICATIONS TO THE JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT FOR THE TRI-VALLEY TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEE 8:18 p.m. 7.1 (1060-90/600-40) City Attorney Silver presented the Staff Report and stated the Tri - Valley Transportation Development Joint Exercise of Powers Authority Agreement was approved by the Dublin City Council on May 5, 1998. Since that time, other member jurisdictions have requested revisions to the wording of the agreement. This item would make those requested modifications. Ms. Silver summarized the changes: 1) The first amendment of the Strategic Expenditure Plan (SEP) shall be forwarded as a "Circulation Draft" to all of the seven entities by a unanimous vote of the TVTC (Section 11 (b). Any of the parties may withdraw from the JPA and terminate the fee by giving notice within 30 days of the date the "Circulation Draft" of the first amendment of the SEP is forwarded by the TVTC. If any party gives such notice, the termination of its fee and withdrawal from the agreement shall not be effective until the 1-580/1-680 Interchange Project is constructed and the entities that have advanced funds are reimbursed (Section 18). This language assures that Dublin will be reimbursed for the contributions that it has CITY COUNCIL lv'llNUiES VOLUlViE 17 REGUL.AR tv'iEETil\lG June 16T 199'8 PAGE 286 already made for the Interchange Project pursuant to its Local Match Agreement, . even if one or more parties withdraws from the agreement and terminates its fee. 2) The SEP shall include guidelines for credit for both developer-constructed and entity-constructed projects (Section 11 (b). .3) The SEP shall include guidelines to assure that Project Sponsors do not receive more in fee revenues than the amounts authorized in the SEP for the project (Section 11 (b). Cm. Lockhart asked if this will be like projects subject to readiness and if a project that is third on the list could supersede number two if it is closer to being ready. Mayor Houston stated there is flexibility built in so if you have an opportunity to get something done, you can change the plans to do this. We never know when we may get additional funds or what the needs will be in the future. We need flexibility. This is built in. It takes unanimous consent. On motion of em. Burton, seconded by Cm. Lockhart, and by unanimous vote, the Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 90 .. 98 APPROVING JOINT EXERCISE OF POWERS AGREEMENT PERTAINING TO THE TRI-VALlEY TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT FEES FOR TRAFFIC MITIGATION .. . PA 98-034 MACARONI GRILL (AT HACIENDA CROSSINGS) SITE DEVELOPMENT REVIEW 8:22 p.m. 8.1 (410-30) Senior Planner Ram presented the Staff Report and stated a Resolution is being presented which would approve the Site Development Review application for Macaroni Grill at Hacienda Crossings, located at the southeast comer of Hacienda Drive and Dublin Boulevard. The 7,144 sq. ft. restaurant is proposed adjacent to Hacienda Drive in the 53-acre Hacienda Crossings site on a 12,000 sq. ft. pad. 1v1s.
