Dear Mr.Tong:
I am writing to respond to a couple of concerns raised by Dublin regarding the mitigation of development
impacts on large scale projects in the area. The Contra Costa County Board of Supervisors recently approved
the rezoning and development agreements for the Dougherty Valley development project.During the
hearings,Dublin requested removal of any proposed cap on the traffic impact fee and expressed concern
about having a time limit placed on determining the fee,if there were delays not subject to Dublin's control. I
am pleased to inform you that the Board of Supervisors approved the rezoning and development agreements
with provisions that did not include a cap on the traffic impact fee,and also allows an extension of time for
any delays in determining the fee caused by the County or the developer.
County staff and Dublin staff have been meeting on and off for almost two years to determine the appropriate
traffic fee to mitigate impacts of development in each jurisdiction. We are using the Tri-Valley
Transportation Council model as a basis for determining the fee. The model is used to determine the impact
of Dublin traffic on County roads and to determine the impact of Dougherty Valley traffic on Dublin roads.
The impacts between the two jurisdictions will be compared and the difference will be used to calculate the
fee. •
•
It is our understanding that the Dublin Ranch project in east Dublin is being heard before the Dublin Planning
Commission tonight. We request that any approval of the Dublin Ranch project acknowledge that the County
and City are working towards a mutual traffic impact fee to mitigate the impacts of development in Dublin
and the County.Traffic impacts from the Dublin Ranch project should be included in the determination of
this fee.
County staff and Dublin staff will continue to meet to determine a traffic impact fee. I believe we will have a
draft fee and agreement ready for review within the next three months.
Very truly yours,

RE: PA 95-030 Dublin Ranch Phase I PD Rezone
Dear Commissioner Cika:
On behalf of Allwin Development Incorporated,representing the Pao Lin property,Ruggeri-
Jensen and Associates would like to request that the above-referenced Dublin Ranch project be
continued to the next regularly scheduled Commission meeting. We apologize for making this
request at such a late date,but our client was late in receiving the staff report due to the holiday
season.
Upon reviewing the Dublin Ranch staff report, our client,Allwin Development,has identified
some specific concerns regarding proposed modifications of the specific plan. While we do not
oppose the project,there are four items within the staff report that may affect the Pao Lin
property. These concerns are:
1. Adjustments to Roadways Shown in the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan. According
to the staff report,the Dublin Ranch application has requested the modification of three
roadways, Fallon Road,Gleason Road,and the Transit Spine. While we support the applicant's
ability to make realignments of roadways due to topographic and environmental reasons,we are
concerned about the realignment of Gleason Road and the Transit Spine,which also bisect the
Pao Lin property.
2. Status of Fallon.Road. According to the staff report,the Dublin Ranch project does
not intend to construct Fallon Road with this project since only a small portion of it(Fallon
Road)would be required. Since the development of Fallon Road will also affect the Pao Lin
project, we request an opportunity to review the traffic report that supports this recommendation.
3. Parks and Open Space. According to the staff report,the applicant will be re-
creating and relocating stream.corridor. While this modification may be consistent with the
specific plan,the Pao Lin property lies downstream of the Dublin Ranch property,wand we
request an opportunity to review how this proposed change will affect our property.
4. Development Agreement/Establishment of Project-Related Fees. As stated in the
staff report,the Dublin Ranch project is required to enter into an agreement with the City of
850 N. HitMew Drive • Milpitas, CA 95035 • Phone(408) 934-1388 • FAX(408)934-1288

Dublin "prior to tentative map approval and that the agreement shall contain, but not be limited
to,provisions for the financing and timing of infrastructure,payment of traffic, noise and public
facilities fees, in-lieu of brdable housing fees, and other provisions deemed appropriate by the
parties."While we support the desire of the Dublin Ranch project to proceed in a timely manner,
we also want to ensure that all fees in the specific plan area,from school mitigation fees to in-
lieu affordable housing fees,be looked at in a careful, comprehensive manner.
The Pao Lin property contains a variety of unique"urban"land uses that,upon build out, will
support the more"rural"projects in the specific plan area,including the Dublin Ranch. The
Eastern Dublin Specific Plan has placed a variety of unusual (for Dublin) land uses on the Pao
Lin property, including very high density residential land uses and the transit spine/town center
with civic plaza.Each of these elements are very"urban"in nature,and will require several years
of development in and around the overall specific plan area prior to being marketable themselves. .
By approving the Eastern Dublin Specific Plan,the City of Dublin has developed an interrelated
series of land uses that require both the"urban"and"rural"components of the plan if the overall
specific plan area is to develop as envisions by the planners.
The greatest concern facing the Pao Lin property is the formation of a comprehensive set of fees
that addresses all development in the specific plan area. To calculate fees based on the cost of the
impact divided by the overall number of units within the specific plan exclusive of the type of
land uses within the specific plan area is too simplistic to be economically equable and fair.
We formally request that the Planning Commission continue this agenda item to the next
scheduled Planning Commission meeting to allow our client additional time to review the Dublin
Ranch and evaluate how the proposed changes affect the Pao Lin property.
Sincere! ;
