Associate Planner Laura Karaboghosian presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider a request to include three additional parcels into the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan boundary and the associated Zoning Map Amendment for the Dublin Village Historic Specific Plan overlay. Cm. Sbranti inquired as to why the Hexcel property was not included in the boundaries of the Historic Specific Plan. Community Development Director Jeri Ram commented that the Hexcel property was indeed within the boundaries of the Specific Plan because there had been archeological concerns along the back of the property. No testimony was received by any member of the public relative to this issue. Mayor Lockhart closed the public hearing. Mayor Lockhart asked Staff if Briarhill Cabana Club needed a new roof or maintenance, would they have to go back to a 1850s style roof, or follow the Specific Plan Guidelines. Ms. Karaboghosian stated that according to the Guidelines, maintenance and repairs would not trigger the Guidelines, but an addition or a new building on the property would. Mayor Lockhart asked if someone would have to follow the guidelines if they purchased the property and then wanted to build a residence on it. DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING July 3, 2007 PAGE 261 Planning Manager Mary Jo Wilson stated, yes, in the Mayor's example, the property owner would have to follow the Guidelines. Cm. Sbranti stated the Briarhill Cabana Club was the gateway to the residential area and did not see the need to include it in the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan. Vm. Hildenbrand stated the Briarhill Cabana Club was part of the Homeowners Association's common property. It was their community center. She was not comfortable in having them have to follow guidelines and spend the money to follow those Guidelines. It was the entrance to, and part of, the residential look. Cm. Oravetz stated he supported the motion of including the two parcels in the Specific Plan, but not the Briarhill Cabana Club. Mayor Lockhart stated she would not want to change the look of the neighborhood. On motion of Cm. Oravetz, seconded by Vm. Hildenbrand and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to modify the Resolution approving an Addendum to the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration and Amending the Dublin Village Historic Area Specific Plan; and an Ordinance Amending the Zoning Map adding two parcels at the City Council meeting of July 17, 2007, with the revised Resolution and Ordinance on the Consent Calendar. '. UNFINISHED BUSINESS Approval of Agreement with Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey to Provide Consulting Services for the East and West Dublin BART Station Corridor Enhancement Proiects 7:19 p.m. 7.1 (600-35) Public Works Director Melissa Morton presented the Staff Report and advised that the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Program included two projects that would enhance the Dublin Boulevard corridor 'namely the East Dublin BART Station Corridor Enhancement and West Dublin BART Station Corridor Enhancement Projects. The City DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING July 3, 2007 PAGE 262 was combining the design of these two projects into one and intended to hire the firm of Royston Hanamoto Alley & Abey to provide design services. Mayor Lockhart asked if at the Dougherty Road intersection where the buildings had been, was that CalTrans property. There were weeds that needed to be removed. Could the City make an agreement with CalTrans to handle the weeds. Public Works Director Morton stated, yes, that was CalTrans property and she would call CalTrans to ask them to take care of the weeds. The interchange was not at the ultimate configuration and the conditions might improve once it was completed. Cm. Sbranti inquired as to the timing of the 1-580 Corridor Improvements. Public Works Director Morton stated the eastbound HOV lane was the next project queued to go forward. That would go to bid in September and would take about 18 months to complete. Next would be the westbound HOV project and that would start while the eastbound HOV lane was under construction. That would be completed in two to three years. They were incorporating hot lane improvements into those designs so if in the future the HOV lanes needed to be converted to hot lanes that could be accomplished. For definition purposes, a hot lane was a toll lane where the Fast Track device used for bridges could be utilized for payment. A hot lane currently planned was on 1-680 southbound from approximately Pleasanton to Automall Parkway. That project was queuing up very quickly, and would probably begin before the 1-580 eastbound HOV lane. Regarding the northbound to westbound 1-580/1-680 Interchange Improvements, the preliminary study report was due to be submitted to the Federal Highway Administration by the end of the month. A bus drop down project was also in the preliminary report stage. That would allow buses coming along 1-580 to drop down directly to the East Dublin BART Station. Mayor Lockhart stated a hot lane was also high occupancy vehicle, so if you had the required number of occupants in the car, it would be free, any others would pay. Public Works Director Morton added that a hot lane was continuously a hot lane and HOV lane. There would not be specific periods designated for a hot lane/HOV lane. Cm. Sbranti asked how far would the hot lane run, all the way to Greenville? DUBLIN CITY COUNCIL MINUTES VOLUME 26 REGULAR MEETING July 3, 2007 PAGE 263 Public Works Director replied yes, it would run all the way to Greenville. On motion ofVm. Hildenbrand, seconded by Cm. Scholz and by unanimous vote, the City Council adopted RESOLUTION NO. 120 - 07 APPROVING AGREEMENT WITH ROYSTON HANAMOTO ALLEY & ABEY TO PROVIDE CONSULTING SERVICES FOR THE EAST AND WEST DUBLIN BART STATION CORRIDOR ENHANCEMENT PROJECTS . NEW BUSINESS Report on Development of a Global Transportation Plan 7:34 p.m. 8.1 (1060-95) Public Works Director Melissa Morton presented the Staff Report and advised that the City Council would consider a report regarding a global transportation plan that identified multi-modes of transportation for the City.
