Flood Control (550-10)
Janine McCune, 7750 Crossridge Road, stated last winter's excessive rainfall caused mud
damage to the exterior of their home. She presented a petition signed by homeowners on
Crossridge Road requesting the City to take immediate action to avert future problems.
They requested the City immediately take the following steps: 1) Make the necessary
corrections to the hill on the west side so it is in accordance with the 1985 Uniform
Building Code, Chapter 70; and 2) Make the necessary corrections to eliminate the .
possibility of another landslide and to eliminate the possibility of homes deteriorating in
value. She stated the homeowners don't want to hire an engineer. She questioned
whether this hill was compacted in accordance with the City's regulations. There are 37
properties located below the v-ditch. There are excessive cracks, weeds, etc., in the
v-ditch. They ask that the City make corrections to ensure their safety and the value of
their properties.
Public Works Director Thompson explained that the slope was cut and therefore no
compaction needed.
The City Council requested that Staff look into this and report back.

Air Raid Warning Siren (520-10)
Tom Ford, 7262 Tina Place, stated there is a physical item, an old air raid siren in the
Briarhill area that he wished to address. There is fairly good potential for toxic spills
because of the close proximity of major freeways. We have prisons in the City and with
fire and other alerts, he is interested in knowing if this could be used to perhaps get

. people to tune in to their radios. He has been unable to determine who owns and is
responsible for this. This could alert people to the possibility of a potential hazard. Right
now, it is disabled. He would appreciate some follow up to determine if it could be used
.n the future. It's located on Silvergate Drive at Dublin Boulevard, up on the slope.
Mr. Thompson stated he thought it was owned by the County.
Paul Rankin said the County installed it and abandoned it about 5 years ago.
Staff was requested to report back on this item.

.Mayor Houston stated this does not require any out of state travel and if it were necessary, he
would pay for it himself. Future mayors could decide for themselves. He felt we could get a lot

MEMORANDUM FROM PLANNING COMMISSION
REGARDING PLANNING COMMISSION TRAINING
7:41 p.m. 5.1 (420-40)
Planning Director Tong presented the Staff Report and discussed a Memo from the
Planning Commission dated October 17, 1995. The Planning Commission is requesting a
joint team building session with the City Council as a way of improving communications.
Ahe Planning Commission has 2 topics for discussion with the City Council: 1) a request
WIat, should the City Council hear a revised proposal significantly different than that
heard by the Planning Commission, the City Council consider referring the item back to
the Planning Commission for review and comment; and 2) a confirmation that the City
Council wants the Planning Commission to consider alternatives to a proposal in order to
make the proposal acceptable to the community.
Mr. Tong stated this type of a workshop may require the services of a professional
facilitator which would result in additional training expenses.
Mr. Tong advised that George Zika, Planning Commission Chairperson is out of state on
business.
Cm. Moffatt asked if they want a joint City Council meeting or what.
Mayor Houston felt that certainly the first item goes on a situation by situation basis. The
Planning Commission's input all along the way is important. With regard to the second
item, we always look for a win/win situation. He did not know whether a weekend
session would be something the City Council would want to do. Maybe if there is some
kind of a Planning Commission session they could attend, they should look into it.

Cm. Moffatt asked if there were any workshops through the League of California Cities
that they could attend.
Cm. Barnes stated as the only one having been on a Commission, she is aware that 3 of .
the 5 Commissioners attended the League conference this year. George has attended
many times in the past. All commissioners suffer from isolation from the City Council.
She stated she doesn't see anything being served by this lack of communication. She felt
there should be a joint session at least once a year. The City Council should have a
session with all the various commissioners.
Cm. Moffatt asked the City Attorney if there was a conflict of interest with the City
Council attending Planning Commission meetings.
Mr. Ambrose stated he thought Cm. Barnes was coming more from a point of
expectations.
Ms. Silver stated there is no problem discussing the roles and procedures, but there could
be problems if the City Council start attending Planning Commission meetings, because
items could potentially be appealed to the City Council.
Cm. Barnes stated there still needs to be some communication tool. Letters seem so cold
and impersonal. This should not be limited to just the Planning Commission, but include
all the Commissioners.
Mayor Houston said he has spoken to people he has appointed from time to time. Rather .
than having a weekend session, he proposed that they schedule some time before a City
Council meeting similar to what they do as the Dublin Housing Authority..
Cm. Howard requested that the meeting be informal.
Mayor Houston discussed noticing requirements.
Mayor Houston suggested and the City Council concurred that Staff get back to the
Planning Commission to pick a date and see what can be worked out. They could meet
about 5 p.m., prior to a City Councilor Planning Commission meeting. It should be
scheduled after the first of the year.

. Building Official Petersen stated in order to adopt updated codes, State Law requires that
a public hearing be property noticed. Staff noticed the public hearing anticipating that
the code update would be complete for this City Council meeting; however, Staff has
~en unable to complete all the necessary reports in time to present an Ordinance to the
~ity Council for introduction at this meeting as originally anticipated. Staff has been
coordinating with the Dougherty Regional Fire Authority to incorporate their
amendments regarding automatic fire-sprinkler systems.
Staff therefore recommended that the public hearing be continued to the City Council
meeting of December 12, 1995.
Cm. Moffatt asked if this is a state requirement that we put these in place or at the
discretion of the City Council.
Mr. Petersen stated the State has adopted them and if we do nothing the codes go into
effect without modification on January 1, 1996. We are modifying them for our
particular city.
Cm. Moffatt asked if contractors look at these and comment on them.
Mr. Petersen stated on a day-to-day basis, people give feedback and they incorporate the
comments.
Mayor Houston continued the public hearing to December 12, 1995.

PUBLIC HEARING - UNDERGROUND UTILITY DISTRICT 95-1
DUBLIN BOULEVARD FROM 1-680 TO 600' WEST OF CLARK AVENUE
7:56 p.m. 6.2 (1020-30)
Mayor Houston opened the public hearing.
Public Works Director Thompson presented the Staff Report and stated this proposed
Ordinance would establish Underground Utility District 95-1. The cost of
undergrounding is paid by CPUC Rule 20A funds. The Street Light Assessment District
will incur an expense associated with installing 2 street lights to replace lights that are
currently installed on wood poles. A separate Capital Improvement Project for the street
lights, as well as the cost of including street lighting conduit in the joint trench will be
presented to the City Council for approval at a later date. There will be no cost to
adjacent private property owners, as the private services are already underground.
~m. Moffatt asked if there had been any protests.
Mr. Thompson stated no written protests had been received.

PUBLIC HEARING
PARKING RESTRICTIONS ON DONLON WAY
7:58 p.m. 6.3 (570-20)
Mayor Houston opened the public hearing.
Public Works Director Thompson stated at the October 24, 1995, City Council meeting,
the Council reviewed a proposal for a two-hour parking restriction on Donlon Way.
After hearing testimony, the City Council directed Staff to research the possibility of
prohibiting parking of certain types of vehicles on specific streets. Alternate proposals to
be considered include prohibiting trailers from parking on Donlon Way north of Dublin
Boulevard and a three-hour parking restriction on Donlon Way south of Dublin
Boulevard.
Mr. Thompson stated Staff had prepared 3 Resolutions, depending upon which action the .
City Council wished to take. Resolution #1 would prohibit parking of trailers on Donlon
Way north of Dublin Boulevard. Resolution #2 would establish 3-hour parking on
Donlon Way south of Dublin Boulevard and No Parking Zones at driveways. Resolution
#3 would establish 2-hour parking on Donlon Way both north and south of Dublin
Boulevard and No Parking Zones at driveways. The cost of installing signage for the
combination of Resolutions #1 and #2 OR #1 and #3 would be approximately $800.
The cost for Resolution #2 alone would be approximately $250.
Mr. Thompson advised that it appeared from observation and from comments received
that the office complexes on Donlon Way north of Dublin Boulevard have sufficient on-
site parking, and that the Heritage Park office complex and the Dublin Christian Church
south of Dublin Boulevard tend to need some on-street parking. The Springs Apartments
complex has 176 covered, assigned spaces (one space per apartment) and an additional
176 open spaces which are available for tenants or guests on a first-come, first served
basis. The Springs does not allow parking of boats within the complex. The Kildara
Townhouse complex has two spaces per unit, one of which is in the garage, and an
additional 26 spaces for guests. The CC&Ws for Kildara prohibit parking of boats,
recreational vehicles, or commercial utility vehicles within the complex.

. Rolando Dela-Cruz, 7272 Cronin Circle, stated after hearing Mr. Thompson speak, he
questioned if the issue was no longer 2-hour parking, but parking of boats and oversize
vehicles. Initially when this proposal was presented, the business community wanted to
~se parking on Donlon as overflow parking for their customers. At any given time, there
~re more than 100 parking spaces vacant around the buildings. The issue is not
overflow. One of the insurance company representatives that spoke said she was
resentful of the boats and large vehicles. This seems to be the real issue.
Tom Ford stated he felt this was a symptom of a much larger problem in the valley. The
Briarhill area has had some problems with people parking vehicles in front of their
houses. The Police Department seems to be very busy and they say when the City hires
an additional code enforcement person, they will deal with this. Most of the homeowner
associations in the area have restrictions in their CC&R's which prohibit RV's and large
vehicles. He suggested that the City look at a prohibition from parking trailers
throughout the entire City. These things should be parked behind fences to prohibit spot
blight. Rather than deal with just Donlon Way, he requested that the City Council
consider the entire City and try to consider eliminating trailer parking on all City streets.
Manuel A. Minhoto, office building at 7080 Donlon Way, questioned if boats would be
covered because they are on trailers. If someone took a boat off some type of towing
mechanism, could this be a problem.
Mayor Houston felt it would be unlikely that someone could move a boat every 72 hours
. it weren't on a trailer.
Mr. Thompson stated it ceases to be a vehicle if it loses its wheels; it then becomes an
illegal structure in the street.
Cm. Barnes stated this is nota game they can play.
Mr. Minhoto asked how the south enc{of Donlon Way is being considered for 3-hour
parking and not the north end.
Cm. Moffatt read the 3 options for consideration by the City Council. He stated these
were just suggestions made by Staff and the City Council could consider other options.
Mr. Minhoto stated it was bothersome to him that both north and south would not be
treated the same. There are no red zones around the driveways leading into the
commercial lots. There is also a fire hydrant that is not marked with a red zone.
Hopefully these will be included in the final solution. When asked what he would like to
see done, Mr. Minhoto replied that what is ideal for them and what is reasonable may not
be the same thing.
.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

November 14, 1995
PAGE 518
Cm. Moffatt clarified they are mainly concerned about the safety aspects and having red
zones around the driveways and around the fire hydrant and not having large trucks
and/ or trailers park there for any large amount of time.
.
Mr. Minhoto said their main concern is boats, trailers and the professional look that they
feel the street should have.
Mayor Houston stated he felt it was their own tenants parking in the areas near the
driveways and by the fire plug; not people from The Springs or Kildara.
Mayor Houston closed the public hearing.
Cm. Moffatt stated he would like to see this commercial area prohibit trailers and large
RV's and large trucks from parking along Donlon Way and to not exclude pick up trucks
with campers.
Mr. Thompson discussed height and length; 7' high and 20' long.
Cm. Moffatt stated he would like to establish a 3-hour parking zone or even 8-hour
zones on both north and south, and prohibit RV's and boats and large vehicles.
Cm. Howard said she preferred the 3-hour limit between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Driving up
and down there is a hazard.
Resolution #1 could apply on both sides of Dublin Boulevard. Mayor Houston asked for .
consideration that on the residential side this be left alone. Make the west side only have
the limited time parking. This would provide for some give and take and solve a lot of
the problems. They could park a regular size vehicle there, but no boats or RV's. This
could potentially solve 95% of the problem.
On motion of Cm. Barnes, seconded by Mayor Houston, and by unanimous vote (Cm.
Burton absent), the City Council prohibited parking ofJrailers and oversize vehicles on
the entire length of Donlon Way and established 3-hour parking from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
Monday through Friday on the western side of the entire length of Donlon Way where
there is parking now and maintaining existing no parking areas and allow unrestricted
parking of cars on the eastern side of Donlon Way on the north side with appropriate red
zones. Also appropriate signs should be placed in accordance with the Vehicle Code.
Staff asked for clarification. All of the west side of Donlon Way shall have 3-hour
parking between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. On the entire stretch of
Donlon Way, there shall be no trailers and no boats. Staff should go back and identify
those areas that need to be marked red and repaint those where needed. On the east side
where there is parking now, it will remain for cars only.

their job. If someone complains, the Police should be able to do their job as they see fit.
Cm. Howard requested and the Council concurred that an agenda item be brought back
to the City Council to consider trailer and RV parking restrictions in the entire City.

REQUEST BY AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION TO SUPPORT
PROPOSED FDA REGULATIONS REGARDING CIGARETTE SALES AND ADVERTISING
.:30 p.m. 8.1 (660-50)
dministrative Assistant Honse presented the Staff Report and stated adoption of this
Resolution will express the City Council's support for proposed FDA regulations related to
tobacco sales and advertising practices which are thought by the FDA to be especially
effective towards minors. While the City of Dublin does have a Smoking Pollution
Control Ordinance, the FDA plan is much broader. The City does not, and probably
cannot, effectively regulate advertising and marketing.
Cm. Moffatt asked if this will prevent people from having vending machines in their
businesses.
Mr. Honse stated vending machines are outlawed in the City completely.
Cm. Howard questioned the use of black and white advertising.
Mr. Honse discussed the type of advertising most directed towards children. A recent
survey showed that children have a higher recognition of Joe Camel than Mickey Mouse.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Barnes, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton
absent), the Council adopted

AGREEMENT WITH ST. MICHAEL INVESTMENTS
REGARDING PARALLEL ROAD LAND ACQUISITION
8:35 p.m. 8.2 (600-30)
City Manager Ambrose presented the Staff Report and stated this agreement would allow
the City to take title to a portion of the right-of-way for the future road parallel to and
south of Dublin Boulevard, and in so doing, will allow the City to fulfill an
implementation requirement needed to obtain BART mitigation fees. The City will incur
minimal closing costs associated with this transaction and once closing costs are know,
Staff will request approval of a budget adjustment. The costs will be paid from fees
collected for construction of the parallel road. The acquisition of this property prior to
December 31, 1995 will allow the City to capture BART mitigation fees estimated at
$273,000.
.
Cm. Howard asked if this will be a 2-lane road.
Public Works Director Thompson said the hook ramps will be 4 lane but the parallel
road will be 2-lane.
Cm. Howard asked if the hook ramps would be right behind the theaters.
Mr. Thompson stated they are looking at putting it on fill, so it would go right through
the theater.
Mr. Ambrose stated if the theater is taken as a result of the hook ramps, the property
owner could come back and build some other type of structure and there would be no
additional traffic impact fee.
On motion of Cm. Moffatt, seconded by Cm. Barnes, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Burton
absent), the Council adopted

pretty clear that they will not negotiate.
