The storm drainage systems off-site, as well as on-site drainage systems for the areas to be occupied, shall be improved consistent with the tentative map conditions of approval and to the satisfaction and requirements of the Dublin Public Works Department applying the City's and Zone 7 (Alameda County Flood Control and Water Conservation District, Zone 7) standards and policies which are in force and effect at the time of issuance of the permit for the proposed improvements. Pursuant to Alameda County's National Pollution Discharge Elimination Permit (NPDES) No. CAS0029831 with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, or pursuant to subsequent permits adopted by the Board, all grading, construction and development activities within the City of Dublin must comply with the provisions of the Clean Water Act. Proper erosion control measures must be installed at development sites within the City during construction, and all activities shall adhere to Best Management Practices. (v) Other Utilities (e.g. gas, electricity, cable televisions, telephone). Construction shall be completed by phase prior to issuance of the first Certificate of Occupancy for any building within that specific phase of occupancy for the Project. Subsection b. Miscellaneous (i) Completion May Be Deferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the City's Public Works Director may, in his or her sole discretion and upon receipt of documentation in a form satisfactory to the Public Works Director that assures completion, allow Developer to defer completion of discrete portions of any public improvements for the Project if the Public Works Director determines that to do so would not jeopardize the public health, safety or welfare. Subparagraph 5.3.3 -- Phasing, Timing This Agreement contains no requirements that Developer must initiate or complete development of the Project within any period of time set by the City. It is the intention of this provision that Developer be able to develop the Property in accordance with its own time schedules and the Project Approvals. Dublin/Lin Development Agreement Page 2 of 5 For the Dublin Ranch North Project-EXHIBIT B December 15, 2009 Subparagraph 5.3.4 -- Financing Plan Developer will install all improvements necessary for the Project at its own cost (subject to credits for any improvements which qualify for credits as provided in Subparagraph 5.3.6 below). Other infrastructure necessary to provide sewer, potable water, and recycled water services to the Project will be made available by the Dublin San Ramon Services District. If so required by Dublin San Ramon Services District, Developer will enter into an "Area Wide Facilities Agreement" with the Dublin San Ramon Services District to pay for the cost of extending such services to the Project. Such services shall be provided as set forth in Subparagraph 5.3.2(a)(ii) and (iii) above. Subparagraph 5.3.5 -- Fees, Dedications Subsection a. Traffic Impact Fees. Developer shall pay the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee ("TIF") established by Resolution No. 111-04, including any future amendments to such fee that may be in effect at the time of issuance of building permits. Developer will pay such fees no later than the time of issuance of building permits and in the amount of the impact fee in effect at time of building permit issuance. In order to ensure that certain interest-bearing debt owed by the TIF is repaid in a timely manner so as to reduce costs that would otherwise occur as a result of accrued interest, the City's Administrative Guidelines for Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fees (Resolution No. 20-07 ("TIF Guidelines")) require developers to pay a portion of the "Section 1" and "Section 2" TIF in cash, rather than using TIF credits. Developer agrees that it will make the TIF payments in cash as required by the TIF Guidelines in effect at the time of payment. Subsection b. Traffic Impact Fee to Reimburse Pleasanton for Freeway Interchanges. Developer shall pay the Eastern Dublin 1-580 Interchange Fee in the amounts and at the times set forth in Resolution No. 155-98 and by any subsequent resolution which revises such Fee that may be in effect at the time of issuance of building permits. Developer will pay such fees no later than the time of issuance of building permits. Dublin/Lin Development Agreement Page 3 of 5 For the Dublin Ranch North Project-EXHIBIT B December 15, 2009 Subsection c. Public Facilities Fees. Developer shall pay a Public Facilities Fee established by City of Dublin Resolution No. 214-02, including any future amendments to such fee that may be in effect at the time of issuance of building permits. Developer will pay such fees no later than the time of issuance of building permits. Subsection d. Noise Mitigation Fee. Developer shall pay a Noise Mitigation Fee established by City of Dublin Resolution No. 33-96, including any future amendments to such fee that may be in effect at the time of issuance of building permits. Developer will pay such fees no later than the time of issuance of building permits. Subsection e. School Impact Fees.

Developer will pay such fees no later than the time of issuance of building permits and in the amount of the impact fee in effect at time of building permit issuance. Subparagraph 5.3.6 -- Credit Subsection a. Traffic Impact Fee Improvements -- Credit The City shall provide a credit against Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fees to Developer for those improvements described in the resolution establishing the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee if such improvements are constructed by the Dublin/Lin Development Agreement Page 4 of 5 For the Dublin Ranch North Project-EXHIBIT B December 15, 2009 Developer in their ultimate location. All aspects of the credit shall be governed by the TIF Guidelines. Subsection b. Traffic Impact Fee Right-of-Way Dedications -- Credit The City shall provide a credit against Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fees to Developer for any TIF area right-of-way to be dedicated by Developer to the City which is required for improvements which are described in the resolution establishing the Eastern Dublin Traffic Impact Fee. All aspects of the credits shall be governed by the TIF Guidelines. Subsection c. Public Facility Fee - Neighborhood Parkland Component City shall provide a credit against Public Facilities Fees to Developer for any neighborhood parkland to be dedicated by the Developer which exceeds the amount required under section 9.28 of the Dublin Municipal Code. Such credits shall be expressed in acres of parkland. All aspects of the credits shall be governed by the City's Public Facilities Fees Administrative Guidelines. (Resolution No. 195-99) Subparagraph 5.3.7 - Miscellaneous The portion of the Property on which the Development is proposed does not presently have access to a public street. The adjacent property owner has received approval of a tentative map, Tract 7441, that includes the improvement and dedication of a new public street, Cydonia Court, that approaches the boundary of the Development. The approved tentative map for the adjacent property also shows a dedication of an access way to the City between the terminus of Cydonia Court and the Property. Because of the relatively small number of lots in the Development, the City does not believe that a public street to serve the development is warranted. Therefore, it is the City's intention to facilitate the granting by the adjacent property owner of a private right of way and utilities easement between the terminus of Cydonia Court and the Property boundary, which intention is reflected in the proposed, but not-yet-recorded, final map for the adjacent property (referred to as Tract 7540). In the event that the City or Developer is unable to secure the granting of such easement, the City will ensure that the dedication shown on the Tract 7441 tentative map can be accepted either at the time of filing of the final map or at some point in the future so that the Property has access to a public street. To the extent necessary, the City will assist in transferring the maintenance responsibilities of the easement area from the Tract 7540 HOA to the Developer of Tract 8016.
