WHEREAS, the June 8, 1987, Staff Report was submitted recommending
that the Tentative Map request be approved subject to Conditions prepared by
Staff; and
WHEREAS, the City Council did hear and consider all said reports
and recommendations as herein above set forth; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to State and City environmental regulations, a
Mitigated Negative Declaration of Environmental Significance has been
previously adopted for the subject Tentative Map request (City Council
Resolution No. 38 - 87); and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the Tentative Map request
will not have a significant environmental impact;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT THE City Council does hereby
find:
Tentative Map 5777 is consistent with the intent of applicable
Subdivision Regulations and City Zoning and related Ordinances.
Tentative Map 5777 is consistent with the City's General Plan as it
applies to the subject property.
Tentative Map 5777 will not result in the creation of significant
environmental impacts.
Tentative Map 5777 will not have substantial adverse effects on health
or safety or be substantially detrimental to the public welfare, or be
injurious to property or public improvements.
The site is physically suitable for the proposed development in that the
site is indicated to be geologically satisfactory for the type of
development proposed in locations as shown, provided the geological
consultant's recommendations are followed; and the site is in a good
location regarding public services and facilities.
-1-
The site is physically suitable for the proposed development in that the
design and improvements are consistent with those of similar existing
residential developments which have proven to be satisfactory.
The request is appropriate for the subject property in terms of being
compatible to existing land uses in the area, will not overburden public
services, and will facilitate the provision of housing of a type and
cost that is desired, yet not readily available in the City of Dublin.
General site considerations, including unit layout, open space,
topography, orientation and the location of future buildings, vehicular
access, circulation and parking, setbacks and similar elements have been
designated to provide a desirable environment for the development.
This project will not cause serious public health problems in that all
necessary utilities are, or will be, required to be available and
Zoning, Building, and Subdivision Ordinances control the type of
development and the operation of the uses to prevent health problems
after development.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Council approves Tentative Map
5777 - PA 87-051 subject to the conditions listed below:

Lots 2, 3 and 4 of Tract 4929 and proposed Lots 5 through 8 and 13 through
15 of the subject project.
30.
Where individual lots have a pad elevation below the adjoining sidewalk
and are separated from the sidewalk grade by slopes of a height greater
than four feet, the lot's grading plan shall be designed to observe a flat
and level area of a minimum depth of five feet extending away from the
back edge of the sidewalk.

springs on the site.
33.
Where soil or geologic conditions encountered in grading operations are
different from that anticipated in the soil and geologic investigation
report, or where such conditions warrant changes to the recommendations
contained in the original soil investigation, a revised soil or geologic
report shall be submitted for review by the City Engineer. It shall be
accompanied by an engineering and geological opinion as to the safety of
the site from hazards of land slippage, erosion, settlement and seismic
activity.
34.

86-010 to a design which will provide a low maintenance fence with a more
substantial appearance and design. No project fencing shall be developed
at the toe of slope along Betlen Drive unless developed as a low see-
through fence (such as a four-foot ± vinyl-clad cyclone fence) which is
approved as far as height, location, and materials, through the Site
Development Review process. Project fencing developed at the rear of pads

unit shall be occupied until the adjoining area is finished, safe,
accessible, provided with all reasonable expected services and amenities,
and completely separated from remaining additional construction activity.

75.
Any approved Construction-Phased Occupancy Plan shall have sufficient cash
deposits or other assurances to guarantee that the project and all
associated improvements shall be installed in a timely and satisfactory
manner. At the request of the Planning Director, written acknowledgements
of continuing construction activity shall be secured from the property
owners and any and all occupants for the portions of the project to be
occupied, and shall be filed with the Planning Department. Said
acknowledgements for a subdivision shall be part of the settlement
documents between the Subdivider and buyer.
Detailed planting plans shall be developed and submitted for review and
approval by the Planning Director for the three open space slope areas
identified as follows: Area 1 - slopes between Betlen Drive and the pad
areas of Lots #4 through #7; Area 2 rearyard slopes behind Lots #6
through #7, #10, #13 and #14; Area 3 slopes between the 1-580 right-of-
way and the pad areas of Lots #15 #19. Trees utilized in all four areas
shall be fifteen gallon size (minimum).
Physical improvements that must be in place prior to final inspection and
occupancy of any units shall include, but not be limited to the following
items:

conform to the specifications of and inspections by the Dublin San
Ramon Services District Fire Department.
c. Cable TV hook-up shall be provided to each unit.

Director, shall have been installed.
Ongoing maintenance of landscaping and irrigation installed in Areas 1 and
3 (as defined above in Condition #72) shall be provided for through the
establishment of a lighting and landscaping special assessment district or
a project homeowner's association. If a homeowner's association is
created for this purpose, the City of Dublin shall be named as an "active
third-party" participant in the project's C. C. & R. documents as pertains
to the mechanics established to assure for the ongoing maintenance of
project landscaping and irrigation in the subdivision. The Subdivider is
advised that the formation of a private homeowner's association to provide
for ongoing maintenance is the approach preferred by the City as the
alternate approach, a lighting and landscape special assessment district,
is not seen as a viable approach due to the small size of the project.
If a homeowner's association is formed to cover the ongoing maintenance of
Landscape Area #1 (as defined above in Condition #72), then Covenants,
Conditions, and Restrictions (C. C. & R.'s) shall be established for the
development. The C. C. & R.'s shall be approved by the Planning Director
