DESCRIPTION:
The Schaefer Ranch Geologic Hazard Abatement District (CHAD) was formed on December 5,
2006, and included the Plan of Control, dated November 1, 2006. The GHAD consists of a total
of twenty -one (21) parcels, totaling approximately 310 acres within Tracts 6765 and 8000 of
Schaefer Ranch (Attachment 1). The Plan of Control describes the geologic hazards, provides a
plan for prevention, mitigation, abatement, and control of geologic hazards, and identifies the
Page 1 of 2 ITEM NO. 8.1
parcels that will be conveyed to the CHAD. The Plan of Control also describes the process for
conveyance of property and transfer of responsibility from the Schaefer Ranch developer to the
CHAD.
On October 1, 2013, City of Dublin accepted improvements as complete for certain parcels
within Tract 6765, Schaefer Ranch Unit 1 Phase 2, which included 15 GHAD parcels. The City
also accepted improvements as complete within easements over lots 297 through 302 of Tract
6765. Improvements include storm water detention basins, drainage system and maintenance
trails. The developer continues to maintain GHAD improvements for a one -year period from
City's acceptance. Once the GHAD parcels are transferred from the developer, Schaefer Ranch
Holdings, LLC, to the Schaefer Ranch CHAD, all improvements within the GHAD parcels will be
maintained by the GHAD as described in the Plan of Control. The cost of on -going maintenance
and control of geologic hazards will be funded by assessment levied on residential and non-
residential parcels within the Schaefer Ranch GHAD boundary.
Schaefer Ranch Holdings LLC is granting 15 parcels and storm drain easements within Tract
6765 to the CHAD. The parcels total approximately 297 acres of land, the majority of which is
open space within parcel "U ". The authority in the California Public Resources Code that allows
the GHAD to accept title to these properties or easement interests is section 26577. A district
may purchase, lease, obtain an option upon, acquire by gift, grant, bequest, or devise, or
otherwise acquire any property or any interest in property.
The GHAD will receive additional property that is within Schaefer Ranch Unit 2, Tract 8000.
Homes within Tract 8000 are still under construction and the City of Dublin has not yet accepted
the subdivision improvements within the future GHAD parcels in Tract 8000.
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS /PUBLIC OUTREACH:
