A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN
MAKING FINDINGS REGARDING UNEXPENDED IMPACT FEES
FOR FISCAL YEAR 1997-98
Recitals
The City has collected fees for off-site traffic improvements needed as a result of new development,
which will not be expended within five years after deposit. The improvements are described in the
1998-2003 Capital Improvement Program and include the improvements described in Recitals numbers
2 through 4 below.
Scarlett Drive / Iron Horse Trail Extensions, Project #9686 - Deposit #1000-331-006 (Amount
Unexpended after five years $12,400.00 collected 1/2/90)
This project would provide both an extension of a public street as well as the Iron Horse Trail. The
roadway element is a connection between Dougherty Road and Dublin Boulevard (parallel to the
Southern Pacific Railroad Right-of-Way). The Iron Horse Trail is proposed to be completed from
Dougherty Road to the Dublin-Pleasanton BART Station.
This road is included in the Dublin General Plan and would serve to relieve the Dougherty Road/Dublin
Boulevard intersection of much of the southbound to eastbound turning traffic, especially for the future
BART Station-bound traffic. A total of $142,164 in traffic mitigation fees has been collected for this
project. The balance of the project costs ($8,171,669) will have to be funded by additional developer
dedications/contributions, Traffic Impact Fees and/or outside grants.
Dougherty Road Improvements (Amador Valley Boulevard North to City Limits) Project #9685 -
Deposit # 1000-331-008 (Amount Unexpended after five years $7,959.51 collected 1/2/90)
This project consists of constructing the ultimate northbound lanes from Amador Valley Boulevard
north to the Dublin City Limits. This would make Dougherty Road a six-lane facility. It would also
construct landscaped medians and a traffic signal at the Willow Creek Drive intersection. A portion of
the improvements required were undertaken with a construction contract approved in Fiscal Year
1997/98. This included widening north of Amador Valley Boulevard. The Dougherty Road project is
underway and the funds collected in the liability account, which are subject to the five year limit, have
been expended in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 1998-99.
Traffic Signals - Village Parkway at Brighton Drive, Tamarack Drive and Davona Drive Proiect 9656 -
Deposit # 1000-331-010 (Amt. Unexpended after five years $6,377 collected between 9/30/92 - 6/24/93)
This project would provide for the installation of three traffic signals at the intersections of Village
Parkway with Brighton Drive, Tamarack Drive and Davona Drive. These signals would be
interconnected to the other existing traffic signals on Village Parkway south of this project. A total of
$93,517 in developer traffic impact fees has been collected to date. The City has previously applied for
outside funding for this project, but has not been successful as yet in obtaining these funds. The first
phase is proposed to be undertaken in Fiscal Year 1999/2000 as shown in the current CIP.
The three projects described in Recitals 2 through 4 above, are referred to as the "Three Traffic
Improvements."
The fees described in recitals 2 and 3 above were collected on January 2, 1990, and subject to this
resolution, were collected from Dublin Meadows Partners for the Dublin Meadows multi-family housing
project. A finding was made at the time the Dublin Meadows Project was approved, by Council
Resolution No. 33-89, that the fees were needed in order to finance the construction of Traffic
Improvements noted in recitals 2 and 3 above. Resolution No. 33-89 further found that the purpose of
the fees was to mitigate the traffic impacts caused by the Dublin Meadows project by construction of the
These traffic improvements.
The fees described in recital 4 above were collected during the period from September 30, 1992 to June
24, 1993 from development of the following projects: Taco Bell, My Space Pre School, and Operating
Engineers Credit Union. In each case a traffic study determined that in order to mitigate traffic impacts
caused by developments it was appropriate for them to contribute a proportionate share towards this
project.
Findings
The Council finds, on the basis of the foregoing Recitals, that:
A. The fees which have been collected for the Three Traffic Improvements will remain unexpended in
Fiscal Year 1997-98;
B. The fees which have been collected for the Three Traffic Improvements will remain committed for
construction of the improvements identified in the adopted Capital Improvement Program;
C. The purpose to which the fees will be put is for construction of the Three Traffic Improvements, as
described above and in the 1998 - 2003 Capital Improvement Program;
D. The fees were collected to make the Three Traffic Improvements, which improvements will mitigate
traffic impacts caused by the new development projects which paid the fees; and
E. The fees which have been collected for the Three Traffic Improvements are needed for construction of
the Three Traffic Improvements.
PASSED, APPROVED, AND ADOPTED THIS 15~h day of December 1998.
