Thank you for sending me this email. We are in full support of the request for a continuance and
look forward to working to create a viable solution without the need for the appeal hearing.
In our meeting with Brad yesterday, we discussed a continuance and an agreement to hold an
appeal hearing, if needed, by September 27t1i. This will enable us time to work out a resolution.
This will also enable us to address public notice requirements and hold a properly notices appeal.
public hearing on or before September 27`~ should one he necessary.
Therefore, we ask that you revise your continuance request to include a request to hold. a public
hearing for the appeal on or before September 27"' and. also waive the requirement to take action
on the appeal with 75 days of when it was filled (Zoning Ordinance Section $.136.060.A).

Subject: Sahara Market
Dear Mayor Sbranti and Commissioners,
I am a resident of the City of San Ramon, and former resident of the City of Dublin. I am, however, a frequent visitor of
the City of Dublin, mainly because of Sahara Market. This ethnic market provides a service that no other local
supermarket provides in that it has a "halal" butcher and offers a unique array of spices and dishes not available
anywhere in the San Ramon Valley.
I understand that after the Planning Commission was about to approve the expansion of Sahara Market and after Sahara
MArket signed a lease with the property owner, the Planning Commission changed it's mind about the expansion due to
the interpretation of what constitutes a restaurant vs. a market. Regardless, Sahara Market offers a unique flavor to
Dublin that should be appreciated. It not only serves Dublinites, but it induces my business (i.e. my money is circulating
in Dublin, even though I live in San Ramon).
I appeal to you, please allow this small operation to flourish and continue to bring in much needed revenue to Dublin
during these hard economic times.
Many Thanks
Dina EL-Nakhal
San Ramon, CA
