DESCRIPTION: Prior to February 10, 1994, Ron and Fawn
Holman, prospective buyers of the property at 7852 starward Drive,
requested a Code Compliance Survey. Mrs. Holman is an employee in the
DUblin Planning Department. Code compliance surveys are available
upon request and with a paYment of a fee of $20.00 per 100 square
feet. At the time of the request the buyers, and their agent, were
verbally notified that if an inspection was made, any code violations
observed would have to be corrected. After being assured by the
buyers, and their agent, that the owners of the property were aware of
the consequences of an inspection and would make any necessary
corrections, the inspection was made on February 10, 11, and 16, 1994.
The results of the inspection were listed in a February 17, 1994
Building Inspection Department letter. A permit was secured by the
owners contractor on March 31, 1994. The stated valuation for the
work was $3,800.00. All of the items listed were corrected except for
securing the posts to the foundation.
By way of explanation, the floor of the building is supported by 4 x 6
girders spaced 4' apart. The girders are supported by 4 x 4 vertical
posts spaced between 4' to 6' apart. The 4 x 4 posts are supported by
a concrete pier foundation. Apparently, the 4 x 4's were not cut to
the proper length and as a result wedges were installed between the

concrete pier and the 4 x 4 post. Consequently, the posts are not
fastened to the concrete pier. section 2516(m) requires a positive
connection between the post and the pier to prevent uplift and lateral
displacement. This requirement was in effect when the house was built
in 1960 (See Exhibit 3).
The oWner~are requesting a variance which would allow the floor
supports to remain as is. The rational for the variance is that the
owners believe this condition exists in the entire tract. We are not
able to verify this statement because we have not inspected the
underfloor space in any other houses in the tract. Also, they
indicate that they were not advised that any violations found during
the inspection would have to be corrected. Exhibit 4, indicates that
the buyers agent informed the sellers agent of this aspect of the
inspection. Apparently" there has been a lack of communication
between the owners agent and the owner.
The owners agent was on the premises along with the buyers agent when
the inspection was made on February 10, 1994. Thus, the inspection
was made at the invitation of both the agents of the buyer and owner.
In accordance with city Council pOlicy, the Building Department
requested all noted violations to be corrected.
It is important that the posts be anchored to the piers to prevent the
posts from shifting off the foundation in an earthquake. If the posts
shifted off the piers the floor could drop 6" to 24". This could also
cause the interior bearing walls to drop and this would damage the
ceiling and roof. This type of damage was observed in the recent
Northridge Earthquake.
In order to grant a variance the city council must make a finding that
the variance is consistent with the intent of the code and that the
granting of the variance will not lessen the protection to the people
of the City or the property situated therein. In the opinion of the
Building Official, this finding cannot be made and it is recommended
that the variance be denied.

CITY COUNCIL
DUBLIN, CALIFORNIA
REGARDING PROPERTY AT 7852 STARWARD DRIVE, DUBLIN,.CA
DEAR LADIES AND GENTLEMEN:
ON 2/2/94 MR & MRS RON HOLMAN MADE AN OFFER TO BUY THE ABOVE
PROPERTY. AS A CONTINGENCY OF THEIR PURCHASE, THEY REQUESTED A
HOME INSPECTION REPOR~ WHICH WAS TO BE PAID FOR AT THEIR OWN
EXPENSE. NORMALLY THIS REPORT IS PROVIDED BY A PRIVATE HOME
INSPECTION COMPANY AT A COST OF $400.00. SINCE MRS HOLMAN IS
EMPLOYED BY THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT J THEY REQUESTED THAT IT BE
COMPILED THROUGH THIS AGENCY AT THE COST OF ONLY $200.00, THUS
SAVING THE HOLMANS $200.00. SINCE THIS SEEMED COST EFFECTIVE AND
AN ADDITIONAL HELP IN GETTING THE HOLMANS INTO THE PROPERTY, WE
AGREED TO ALLOW THE BUILDING DEPARTMENT TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY.
AT NO TIME, WERE WE NOR OUR REALTOR, GARY SCHWAGERLE TOLD
ORALLY OR IN WRITING THAT ANY CODE VIOLATIONS FOUND WOULD HAVE TO
BE BROUGHT ,UP TO CODE AT OUR EXPENSE. THIS WAS TO BE ONLY A REPORT
TO ALLOW THE HOLMANS TO BE FULLY AWARE 'OF THE CONDITION OF THIS 35
+ YEAR OLD HOME. THE HOME-,WAS AND IS LISTED TO BE SOLD IN AN "AS
IS" CONDITION. WE FEEL WE WERE DECEIVED BY BOTH THE BUILDING
DEPARTMENT AND MR & MRS HOLMAN SO THEREFORE WOULD NEVER HAVE
ALLOWED THIS INSPECTION. IT'S NOT THAT WE ARE UNWILLING TO COMPLY,
BUT EXPENSES TO DATE HAVE BEEN IN EXCESS OF $10,000. NOT ONLY HAVE
WE LOST THIS MONEY SINCE OUR FATHER DIED, BUT DUE TO THE DECLINING
ECONOMY AND DECREASING PROPERTY VALUES, WE WILL HAVE LOST
APPROXIMATELY $30,000 IN RESALE VALUE.
THE ONLY THING LEFT TO REPAIR, PER YOUR REPORT ARE THE
FOUNDATION PIERS. WE FEEL THIS IS UNDUE DISCRIMINATION BECAUSE THE
REST OF THE TRACT HAVING BEEN BUILT AT THE SAME TIME, IS IN THE
SAME CONDITION. WHERE WERE THE CITY AND THE BUILDING INSPECTORS AT
THE TIME OF CONSTRUCTION? OTHER HOUSES IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAVE
BEEN INSPECTED RECENTLY AND WERE FOUND TO ALL HAVE THE SAME
FOUNDATION STRUCTURE. IF EVERYONE ELSE IN THE TRACT HAS TO COMPLY
WITH THIS CODE THEN WE MAY UNDERSTAND THE REQUIREMENT OF FUTTING
ADDITIONAL FUNDS INTO THIS PROPERTY. AGAIN, FUNDS WE WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO RECOUP IN THE EVENT OF A SALE. '

.
IN ~EAKING WITH MR. TAUGHER, THE HEAD BUILDING INSPECTOR, WE
WERE TOLD THAT THIS WAS TO BE REPAIRED BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL
EARTHQUAKE DAMAGE. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS OF NO CONCERN WHEN THE CITY
INSPECTED THIS TRACT AND SIGNED OFF ALL THE INSPECTIONS AT THE TIME
OF COMPLETION. WHY SHOULD WE BE SINGLED OUT NOW? IF THIS
PROPERTY IS REPAIRED, IT WILL BE THE ONLY ONE STANDING IN THE EVENT
OF A LARGE EARTHQUAKE. BY THE WAY, MR & MRS HOLMAN DIDN'T EVEN
PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. WE FEEL BOTH THE CITY AND THE HOLMANS
MISREPRESENTED THEIR INTENTIONS WITH THIS REPORT. WE ALSO FEEL THE
CITY SHOULD TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THIS INSPECTION, THE RESIDENCE AND
THE TRACT.
ALL CORRESPONDENCE CAN BE DIRECTED TO NANCY CANTRELL,
EXECUTRIX OF THE ESTATE OF JOHN YOUNG, AT THE ABOVE ADDRESS.

DUblin, CA 94568
RE: 7852 Starward Drive, Dublin
Code Compliance Survey
As requested by Building Inspector Robert White, my husband and I
would like to verify that on several occasions prior to the
building inspection of the above-mentioned address, we spoke with
our realtor, Fred DeGregoire of Mason-McDuffie in Pleasanton,
about our desire to have the Dublin Building Inspector do the
inspection. On those occasions, we were assured by Mr.
DeGregoire that having the inspection by the city Inspector was
within our rights.
After speaking with Mr. White regarding performing a building
inspection, he informed me that if he were invited into the house
as a city Inspector, any code violations would be required to be
fixed, regardless of whether or not the sale went through. After
being made aware of the requirement, I called our realtor, Fred
DeGregoire, and made him aware of the requirement and asked that
he also make the sellers and their realtor, Gary Schwagerle,
aware of the condition prior to the inspection. At that time,
Mr. DeGregoire assured me that he would do what was necessary.
The day before the inspection, I spoke with Mr. DeGregoire to
confirm the inspection plans. At that time, I again verified
that the sellers and the sellers' realtor had been informed of
the Building Department requirements. He confirmed my
verification.
On the day of the inspection I, my husband Ron, and Mr.
DeGregoire were present for the entire building inspection.
Before Mr. White entered the premises, he spoke with Mr.
DeGregoire about the city's requirement that all existing
violations be brought into compliance regardless of whether or
not the sale went through. Mr. DeGregoire again confirmed that
he understood the conditions and the sellers' agent and property
owners were also made aware of the City'S requirement.
Mr. DeGregoire then unlocked the lockbox and invited Mr. White
into the house.
During the inspection, the sellers' realtor, Gary schwagerle,
stopped by the house. Mr. White was introduced to him as the
city of Dublin Building ',Inspector. They spoke briefly about a
ExhIit1
.
.
couple of items (i.e., water heater non-conformity and
discoloration of furnace metal). Mr. schwagerle departed after
approxi~tely 10 minutes.
After coming to a stopping point in our negotiation, the
sellers', via their real estate agent, made it clear that they
there would be no further negotiation. We were asked, via our
agent, to make an immediate decision, since the sellers' wanted
to put the house back on the market as soon as possible if the
deal fell through. During this conversation, I made it extremely
clear to our realtor that the sellers would have to bring all the
building code violations into conformance if we did not purchase
the house. He insisted that he had made it clear to the sellers'
agent about all ramifications involved. After much
consideration, my husband and I declined to purchase the house
and arranged to meet with our realtor to sign the Release of
Liability form. At that meeting, I apologized to our agent for
being an anxious first-time homebuyer and for hounding him about
the Building Department requirements, but explained that I was
very concerned that the sellers' were aware of the ramifications
of allowing Mr. White into their home. He assured me, again,
that the proper procedures had been followed before the
inspection took place.
After a last minute attempt to re-negotiate, which we declined,
the sellers' signed the Release of Liability form, which released
our deposit from the escrow account.
I was shocked and concerned to learn that the property owners
contend that they had no knowledge of Mr. White's inspection of
their property. Although we had no direct contact with the
sellers' (all negotiation was via the agents, Mr. DeGregoire and
Mr. schwagerle) I was assured on several occasions by my realtor
that the proper procedures had been followed, and the presence of
the sellers' realtor during a portion of the inspection seemed to
verify that fact. Also, the sellers and their agent received a
copy of the inspection report during the negotiation proceedings.
The report was printed on city of Dublin letterhead with
Mr. White's signature block showing him as the person who
performed the building inspection.
sincerely,
~~\~~~.
