K2/G/anntmts/annforms/nc-annlication. doc Plannin~ Commission AI}l}lication Name: Robert M. Fasulkey Address: 7776 Topaz Circle, Dublin Telephone: (home) 925-829-6299 Date: December 4, 2000 (work) 925-260-6608 1. Why are you interested in serving on the Planning Commission? Dublin is in a period of high growth and requires diligent attention. The responsibility of the Planning Commissioner is to provide citizen oversight to these processes, to ensure that proposed development complies with greater good of the City, and to provide recommendations to the City Council. -I am confident that I can use my skills to contribute to this process and advance Dublin's planned growth. Finally, I want to continue the work that I began previously as a Planning Commissioner before I was forced to resign due to extensive travel. I no longer am required to travel extensively and I can now once again fulfill my obligations as a Planning Commissioner. 2. What is your knowledge of and experience in Planning and Zoning? I have worked in and around the construction and zoning for my entire career. I am familiar with right-of- way law, contract law, State requirements, County development plans, and Dublin's General Plan. Finally, as a former Dublin Planning Commissioner, I have attended training that informed me of the specific requirements of this position. 3. How do you feel about the growth that has occurred in recent years in Dublin? Growth in Dublin is inevitable. How we manage the growth is important to the welfare of all that live and work here. Dublin has attractive and yet challenging geographic qualities and features. We have the west hills, we have a military facility and we have new growth panning out across the easterly properties. We have done a good job of blending all of these together to attain their highest value while maintaining a sense of community and concern for the environment. 4. What shouM the City's position be regarding growth? We have to accept the fact that we are in an area of great expansion. Therefore, totally eliminating growth is not a reasonable alternative. We need to use this inevitable growth to enhance and upgrade the entire City in a cohesive manner. Specifically, growth in the east should compliment the existing community. To this end, our position should primarily be to listen to our citizens and to act in their best interests. We need to assure the citizens of Dublin that the Planning Commission is a forum for their ideas. 5. What type(s) of housing do we need? Housing densities will continue to increase and the Planning Commission has a responsibility to make sure that they comply with the general plan while allowing the creation reasonable housing costs. To that end we will need a mix of all types of housing ranging from upscale to affordable multiunit. This diversity in housing will allow Dublin to attract residents from all income levels, thus preserving a viable workforce and balanced community interests ranging from young families to senior citizens. 6. What do you think are the major concerns of Dublin residents regarding future planning? Development of the West hills area remains a major concern. We need to have a better understanding of what is expected here. We need to do a better job of getting the General Plan information updated and publicized. The existing downtown business district needs to be invigorated. Yes, the businesses there are presently doing well, but this is not sustainable. The development of the West end BART station is a stellar opportunity for us to encourage business to improve this portion of the community so that it doesn't fall into disrepair and get bypassed by the growth to the east. 7. What, if anything, should be done to enhance Downtown business districts? We arranged a task force that has looked into this problem so I propose that we take their findings directly to the property owners affected. We need to understand their long-range plans and we must establish and set a timetable for whatever improvements are finally agreed to with them. We need to understand that it is ineffective for one owner to make improvements to his property when the one next to it remains outdated. The City is the best forum for this communication and we need to ensure that we fully enlist the properties owner's support, as well as listen to their ideas. Task force efforts should be continued because there are no simple answers, and issues will continue to surface as changes are made. 8. What considerations should the City be concerned with in future developments in Dublin? , Developers today pay many fees including traffic impact fees, infrastructure improvements, and school building costs. I think that these revenue streams are sufficient to support the functions intended but they should be monitored for consistency with other communities. However, we should continually work through staff to monitor these fees and to compare them to development projects in other cities. Additionally, we should seek opportunities for corporate contributions that may benefit our schools, libraries or other public entities. How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community, but unpopular with some neighbors? An unpopular decision will eventually be accepted provided it benefits the community as a whole. Therefore, I am comfortable with making decisions based on rational information, as opposed to its popularity. 10. What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Planning Commission? I bring a great deal of experience to the Commission. I have worked with the Planning Staff and members of the community and I am confident that I can fairly represent the interests of community at large. More specifically, I want to cultivate more communications between City and the businesses that exist today in Dublin. I recognize that we can talk about a revitalized "downtown" area but it will never happen without something more than a reactive approval process that can only deny applications when they don't fit the desired tone. We need a plan that includes the tone and the timeline for implementation so all parties are working together rather than in piece-meal fashion. Finally, technology has become an important component of the planning process. I want to use my experience to advance Dublin to become a technological leader in City planning. Properly applied planning methods will increase our resident's opportunity to telecommute as well as attract technologically advanced businesses.

Kz /G/anntmts/annforms/nc-annlication.doc DUBLIN PLANNING COMMISSION APPLICATION Marjorie LaBar 1o Why are you interested in serving on the Planning Commission? I have a deep interest in city planning issues and I would like to use my experience and education for the betterment of my community. 2. What is your knowledge of and experience in Planning and Zoning? I have been actively involved in tri-valley planning issues for the last 14 years including: 1999 Public participant in City Of Dublin hearings on Western Dublin initiative 1998-2000 Tri Valley Vision Leadership Group 1993-99 Biodervisity Working Group(Sponsored by state and local agencies) including East Valley Task Force 1997-1999 1995-96 ABAG Tri-Valley Sub-regional Planning Committee 1995 Successfully completed the AICP (American Institute of Certified Planners) exam (currently inactive) 1993-94 UC Davis, Certificate - Land Use & Environmental Planning Course emphasis on Conflict Resolution and CEQA compliance I have regularly provided comments both written and oral on Dublin planning issues since 1986. 3. How do you feel about the growth that has occurred in recent years in Dublin My primary concern has been a lack of innovation in what has been built to date. I believe Dublin should try to develop an identity of its own with its urban architecture. Further, I am concerned about the lack of affordable housing in the city. 4. What should the City's position be regarding growth? Dublin should be looking for a long term sustainable growth pattern. By this I mean a steady rate of growth that allows infrastructure to keep pace and balances commercial development with residential and quality of life. 5. What type(s) of housing do we need? Dublin needs a full range of housing. We need to pay particular attention to providing housing that is affordable to local teachers, city employees; and public safety personnel. 6. What do you think are the major concerns of Dublin residents regarding future planning? Traffic has become a major concern and a topic of discussion when people gather. It will also be important to keep all parts of the linked by improving Downtown. Residents have also expressed their preference for open space in the western hills. Requests to find funds(public & private) for permanent protection by easement or outright purchase will be brought to the city by residents and property owners. LaBaFPlanning Commission Application-Page 2 7. What if anything, should be done to enhance the Downtown business district? The business districts need to be more pedestrian and transit friendly. Downtown needs to a destination of its own. We should also be considering how best to reuse sites that have become or soon will be obsolete. 8o What considerations should the City be concerned with in future developments in Dublin? We need to balance large job producers with providing housing in line with the salaries those jobs offer. Efforts need to made insure that BART station(s) and Camp Parks are fully integrated in the city. City staff and the Planning Commission should actively encourage outreach to the community as early in the panning process as possible. Dublin should consider a complete overhaul of the General Plan which incorporates the current Specific plans and provides more specific guidance to developers and residents. 9. How do you feel about making a decision for the overall good of the community, but unpopular with some neighbors? Planning Commissioners are appointed to represent the best interests of all Dublin residents. However, planning departments, commissioners, and designers are not infallible and good suggestions for improving development have been provided by critics. I believe that a stronger effort to provide the public with information on planning issues including:the:use of the city web site will improve the tenor of discussion at meetings. 10. What is the most important contribution you can make as a member of the Planning Commission? My most important contribution to the Planning Commission will be careful reasoned deliberation and a willingness to listen and consider the needs of all parties.

'~/~n~Wan~orm~nc-al}nlica~on.doc Planning Commission Application Addendum As a resident of the City of Dublin for over ten years, and a real estate development professional, I am extremely interested in the growth and development that is taking place in the City. As a Planning Commissioner I have enjoyed participating in helping to determine the future course of development for Dublin's future. I feel that as both my experience and education real estate development and urban planning brings allot of experience and expertise to the Planning Commission. I have both a Bachelors of Science and a Masters Degree form the California State Polytechnic University at Pomona and San Jose State University respectively. In addition, I have 24 years of real estate development experience developing both commercial/industrial and residential developments. This experience and education in real estate has given me insight to those proposals that have come before me at the Commission and aided my fellow Commissioners through thoughtful discussion and questions posed to the developers of those proposals that have come before us. I have a thorough knowledge of and in depth experience in planning and Zoning. I have both a Bachelors of Science and a Masters Degree form the California State Polytechnic University at Pomona and San Jose State University respectively. In addition, I have 24 years of real estate development experience developing both commercial/industrial and residential developments. I have worked as an urban planner for two cities, worked for two civil engineering firms and for one commercial/industrial and five residential developers (Pulte Homes, Signature Properties, Braddock & Logan, Suncal and The Olson Company). I'm very proud of the development that has taken place in Dublin in recent years and very pleased that it has turned out well for the City. I'm very pleased and proud that our City won a Gold Nugget planning award for the best master planned community in the western United States. I feel that Dublin is headed in the fight direction with its plans for the community and the implementation of those plans for the City. The City should be responsive to the residents of the City of Dublin in guiding Dublin's future growth and development. But at the same time the City needs to its own needs in determining its future. The challenge is doing what is right and in the City's interest in the face of public support or opposition to new development. The City currently has a good mix of housing types and product mix as it exists in the City and as it's proposed in the eastem Dublin Specific Plan. However, there is a real need for both worker housing for teachers, firemen and other professionals in the City as they are becoming increasingly priced out of the housing market as home prices escalate. There is also a real need for senior housing to accommodate our aging population. In discussing Dublin' s future with friends and people that I have met in town there is real concern over development in the west Dublin hills, traffic congestion and revitalization of the old downtown area of town. Ther seems to be less concern over the development that is taking place in east Dublin but that may soon change as more people move into the east Dublin area. I feel the addition of the new BART station to the downtown, along with our recent approvals by the Planning Commission of the Downtown Specific Plans will help to enhance the revitalization of the downtown business district. 8. The City needs to be concerned with a long list of things when examining new developments in the City including but not limited to: · Quality of life · The environment Economics · Are there adequate services available to serve the proposed development · Traffic circulation · Affordability · Tax Base · Jobs housing balance o I have on many occasions as a member of the Planning Commission had to make the difficult choice between deciding what the residents in a neighborhood might want versus what's in the City's best interest to do. I have always decided to choose what's in the City's best interest over neighborhood interests. 10. The most significant contribution that I can make or bring to the Commission is all of my education and experience as an urban planner and real estate development professional.

Why are you interested in serving on the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission? Havinq served for one year as the first Chair of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission, I feel like my work has lust be.qun.

In Idaho, I have sewed on the executive committee of the Idaho Humanities Council, was appointed by the Governor to the Idaho Centennial Commission, appointed by the mayor to be Commissioner on the Idaho Falls Housin.q Authority--City of Idaho Falls, and was appointed to the Idaho Falls Community Development Advisory Council. 4. What training or experience do you have in the arts or heritage? I have a BA and MA in art education from the University of Illinois. I was an adjunct faculty member in art education at Idaho State University, I tau.clht iunior high and hi.qh school art and art history. I am currently the Department Head of Technical Information at Lawrence Livermore National kaboratorv, mana.qin.q 200 employees, includina artists, writers, and librarians, as well as output technicians for publication, presentation, and display. 5_. List the'artistic, cultural, and/or historic activities in which you have participated, particularly within the city of Dublin. St. Patrick's Day Festival, Pasta Festival, . visits to the Herita.qe Center, etc. When the Heritaqe Center chan.qed its hours, I helped with the children's activities. 6. What knowledge do you have of the Dublin Heritage Center? 9/17' °b'~ Since workinc~ on the Herita.qe & Cultural Arts Commission, I have found that the Center was in need of stora.qe space - we recommended the purchase of a stora.qe building; and that more visitors were needed - we recommended special exhibits and a chan.cle in the hours. 7.

One of the reasons I felt that the Arts Assessment was important was so that we could take the pulse of the community before amounts of money would be expended. As we suspected, Dublin residents felt that art was important, but they were not ready for extreme avant .qarde productions of public art. Also, for most of the public art proiects, I personally recommend community participation at some staqe of the art development and installation. 9. What is the most important contribution you feel you can make as a member of the Heritage & Cultural Arts Commission? Sharin.q my experience in promotin.q cultural events, securing .qrants, usin.q my resources in exchan.qing cultural exhibits, and working collaboratively with universities, local museums, and business and industry. 10.
