Adopt resolution prohibiting parking on the
northeasterly corner of Amador Valley Boulevard
and Starward Drive, and between the first and
second driveways on Standard Drive.
FINANCIAL STATEMENT: Approximately $50 to paint red curb.
DESCRIPTION:
This issue came to light as Staff, including TJX'M, reviewed Rainbow
Investment's application to construct an additional building on their property
on Amador Valley Boulevard between the intersections of Donohue Drive and
Standard Drive. Currently, one building occupies the site, and the driveway
on Starward Drive already exists.
TJ~M recommended initially that 15 feet on either side of the driveway be
red-curbed for site distance clearance. Further review indicated that since
there is only about 20 feet of curb between the Rainbow Investment driveway
and the driveway into the apartment complex to the north, no usable parking
space would remain, and therefore the entire 20 feet should be red-curbed.
Prohibition of this 20 feet of parking would remove one parking space.
To the south of the driveway, there is approximately 45 feet of space between
the driveway and the crosswalk on Amador Valley Boulevard. Parking is already
prohibited on Amador Valley because of the bike lane. It is recommended that
the entire 45 feet be red-curbed in order to allow clear vision of the
driveway for vehicles turning onto Starward from Amador Valley and vice-versa.
%~hile 45 feet of straight line curb could accommodate up to three vehicles,
Staff does not consider that prohibiting parking in this area removes any
desirable parking spaces because the curb is curved as part of the curb return
of the intersection.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and adopt the
resolution establishing this no parking area.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
August Il, 1989
TO: Lee Thompson
FROM:
Michelle DeRobertis
SUBJECT: Rainbow Investments Driveway on Starward Drive
We have observed and evaluated the driveway of the Rainbow Investments
property on Starward Drive in Dublin in light of the soon-to-be constructed
building on the property. Due to potential visibility problems between westbound
vehicles on Amador Valley Boulevard turning north onto Starward Drive and
vehicles exiting the driveway, parking restrictions on Starward Drive are
recommended.
Our recommendation is to prohibit parking for 15 feet on the north side of the
Rainbow Investments driveway and for 45 feet to the south. Since there are only
20 feet of curb between the Rainbow Investments driveway and the apartment
driveway to the north, this recommendation would effectively eliminate the one
existing parking space between these two driveways. The loss of this parking space
would not be significant. To the south, there are 45 feet of curb between the
Rainbow Investments driveway and the existing crosswalk. We recommend that the
full 45 feet be designated "No Parking" to avoid ambiguity about whether parking
would be allowed on the remainder of the curb between the end of the red paint
and the curb return.
These recommendations are depicted in the attached figure. Please feel free to call
if you have any questions.
