VEHICLE STORAGE IN FRONT YARD Mr . Roland Grison, 7177 Rosita Court, addressed the Council related to a letter he had received from the County of Alameda, Building Inspection Department regarding a zoning investigation they were acting upon, based upon a complaint of the storage of a vehicle he is restoring in his driveway . Mr . Grison stated he was very confused regarding the rules, and was seeking clarification. Mr . Grison did not feel he was in violation of any zoning regulation. Mr . Tong, explained that the zoning ordinance prohibits the storage of inoperable vehicles or auto repair in the front yard. Mr . Grison stated he is not repairing a vehicle, he is restoring a vehicle . It is neat and clean, and he didn ' t feel he was creating any mess or hazard. Cm. Burton questioned how Mr. Grison had received letter from the County. Mr. Tong indicated that an official complaint was filed and the Zoning Investigator was sent to the site to investigate the alledged violation. Mr . Grison stated he must appear on the 11th of August in Hayward. CM-2-135 August 8, 1983 Cm. Hegarty expressed concern that Mr . Grison would have to go to Hayward, but also felt he would like to see our town cleaned up. He felt the ordinance is basically a good one, but there are probably a long list of items that the City could get very picky on as far as enforcing. Cm. Hegarty indicated he was not troubled by a site inspection of this project, but what he saw in many other parts of town did bother him. Cm. Hegarty felt that if Mr. Grison could assure he would do his best to get the car restored as soon as possible, the situation could be tolerated. Mr . Tong suggested a possible solution would be to move the frame into his garage . Mr . Grison indicated that at the present time, his wife is doing furniture repair and upholstery work in the garage . She will be gone until the end of the month, and Mr . Grison indicated he needed time to work this situation out. Mayor Snyder asked that action be delayed in order to review. Staff was directed to discuss the particulars of the zoning ordinance and the consensus of the Council was to continue action on this situation until September 12th. Cm. Burton stated he was uncomfortable with the way zoning investigations were being conducted. The City Manager explained that the alternative was to hire a full time zoning investigator, and strictly enforce the zoning ordinance . Mr . Jim Davis, 7178 Rosita Court stated he was annoyed that the County Zoning Inspector has become involved in what appears to be a petty squabble among neighbors . Mr . Davis questioned Mr. Tong ' s interpretation of the zoning ordinance . REQUEST FOR STOP SIGNS VILLAGE PARKWAY @ WINEBERRY Elizabeth Schmitt, 8358 Cypress Court, presented a petition signed by neighbors requesting that stop signs be placed at the intersection of Village Parkway and Wineberry. Because there are currently about 130 homes occupied in this particular housing tract, with about 30-40 additional homes soon, some means of traffic control is needed. Many children cross Village Parkway in order to get to Murray School . Staff was directed to investigate and report back at a future meeting. INTRODUCTION OF BUILDING INSPECTION STAFF Mr . Ambrose introduced the City ' s new Contract Building Official , Victor Taugher and members of his Staff who will be assisting and working in the City of Dublin.

The Council welcomed Mr . Taugher and his Staff to the City of Dublin. COUNTYWIDE PARAMEDIC PROGRAM In November 1982 , the voters of Alameda County approved a ballot measure advising the Alameda County Board of Supervisors to establish a paramedic service countywide by means of a countywide assessment district. The assessment to property owners was not to exceed $10 per year . Voters in the City of Dublin voted in favor of the County paramedic program by 78% . Since the passage of the advisory measure, the County Health Services Agency has worked in the development of a plan to be implemented Countywide . Following discussion, on motion of Cm.

This proposed no parking zone will eliminate approximately six ( 6 ) existing on-street parking spaces on Silvergate Drive . However, visibility for motorists entering the intersection of Silvergate Drive and Dublin Green Drive will be significantly improved. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm.

PUBLIC HEARING WINNING ACTION INVESTMENTS APPEAL On July 5 , 1983 , the Planning Commission reviewed an application for Tentative Parcel Map 4008 , submitted by Mr. Fred L. Houston of Winning Action Investments, Inc . The developer proposed to subdivide a 4 . 7 acre parcel into three parcels . The site is located on the east side of Dougherty Road, approximately 800 feet north of Scarlett Court. The site currently contains an office building, truck stop, and truck repair business . The developer has indicated a desire to add a warehouse and cafe to the proposed parcels . The Planning Commission approved ( 4-0 ) Tentative Parcel Map 4008 , subject to conditions . The developer and his consultant engineer, Mr. Ron Archer, have appealed some of the conditions of approval . The issues were 1) access : The developer wishes to provide access by a private easement, rather than a public roadway. .2 ) drainage : The developer wishes to modify condition which requires the developer to either obtain a drainage release from the railroad, or develop an alternative, approved by the City Engineer. The developer wishes to simply request a drainage release from the railroad. 3 ) street trees : The developer wishes to plant street trees only along Dougherty Road, rather than also along the southerly street frontages . Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. Mr. Fred Houston, Appellant addressed the Council . He explained that the subject property was 6117 Dougherty Road, approximately 440 yards from the intersection of Dougherty Road and Dublin Valley. Just north is a triangle shaped property, containing a lumber company. To the south is Borcher Brothers and the Gelderman property, which has been for sale for 20 years , ever since Dublin was developed. Across the street is the bowling alley. Mr. Houston explained that they operate a maintenance truck stop, and it was the first property to be developed in this area in 1969 . The property has been active as a truck depot ever since that time . He has owned the property since 1979 . They do not plan to change the use of their property; they have a 10 year lease on the property. They wish to make the property better and CM-2-138 Regular Meeting August 8, 1983 more active, and mostly for a better business venture . This property has a lot of problems caused by railroads , by Counties, etc . Mr . Houston explained his reasons for wanting a parcel split. They must split the property to build on Parcel C and to obtain financing. They wish to completely light and asphalt the property and they have a petroleum company out of Concord that wishes to come in and put in a keycard type of 24 hour gas station. Mr . Houston explained that this parcel of land is underwater 5 months of the year. They have a serious drainage problem. Mr . Houston felt that the conditions as set forth by the Planning Commission were too restrictive and unrealistic . They leave them with no legal way to move . Mr . Houston explained that they have large semi trucks that enter the property, make a loop and fuel up or back in and park . The nearest other truck stops of this type are one on the other side of Vallejo and one in San Jose, Oakland and one on Highway .5 . They are requesting a private street in order to avoid having to put in curbs and gutters and trees , as the big semi ' s will knock over the trees and damage the curbs . They would propose to put in the indented type of curb to get their drainage . On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Moffatt absent) , the Council adopted: RESOLUTION NO. 52-83 ADOPTING A NEGATIVE DECLARATION CONCERNING PA 83-016 WINNING ACTION INVESTMENTS TENTATIVE PARCEL MAP Various ways to alleviate the drainage problems were discussed.

Post Office has requested that a stretch of white curb be painted in front of Homestead Savings on the northeast corner of Dublin Boulevard at Regional Street, in order to put a mailbox at this site on the street, thus allowing people to drive up and deposit mail into the mailbox . On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Moffatt absent) , the Council waived the reading and introduced the ordinance . SPEED STUDIES DAVONA DRIVE, SIERRA COURT & LANE, STARWARD DRIVE AND TRINITY COURT Chris Kinzel presented the Staff report and explained that it was Staff ' s position that certain modifications will reduce confusion for motorists in areas studied and provide a more realistic speed limit where warranted. On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote (Cm. Moffatt absent) , the Council agreed to 1 ) waive reading and introduce ordinance establishing speed limits on Sierra Court and Sierra Lane, and 2 ) authorized installation of additional 25 mph sign for northbound traffic on Starward at Gunshot, and 25 mph signs on Sierra Court, north of Trinity Court and on Trinity Court. With respect to the speeding in the vicinity of Davona Drive, it was Staff ' s position that radar enforcement would be the only efective tool in reducing speeding on that street. If the. City is successful in its application to the State Office of Traffic Safety for a citywide traffic study, Staff will be able to address the utilization of a radar in a more comprehensive manner. RIDGELANDS REGIONAL PARK PROPOSAL Betty Dawson, Pleasanton, made presentation to the City Council with respect to a petition requesting that the East Bay Regional Park District initiate a Regional Ridgeland Park Feasibility Study in the area generally known as Devaney Canyon, Tehan Falls-Main Ridge, Pleasanton Ridge, and Sunol Ridge. The study should include local citizen participation, public hearings to determine the size and nature of a po.ssible regional ridgeland park, and the amount of a local bond issue needed to accomplish the recommended proposal . The study could result in a local ballot measure requiring 2/3 voter approval for land acquisition and special tax financing. Ms . Dawson explained that the study should take approximately 6-12 weeks . Cm. Jeffery questioned the bond issue being local only. CM-2-140 Regular Meeting August 8, 1983 Cm. Burton asked who would pay for the study. It was explained that the money was already in the park district coffers to pay for this study. If the money isn ' t spent on the study, then it will be used for other park district purposes . Mayor Snyder clarified that they did not need the permission of the Council to conduct this study, but this presentation was for information only . OTHER BUSINESS Slurry Seal Cm. Jeffery stated that in several places, the slurry seal that was recently done is unsatisfactory, namely on Amador Valley Boulevard. The City Manager indicated that certain areas, Amador Valley Boulevard and Circle Way, will have to be redone . AB 1428 Mayor Snyder indicated he had received communications advising that it is absolutely essential that elected officials from each City contact their Legislators by August 15th and describe the impacts on their community resulting from pending proposals .

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE The Mayor led the Council, Staff and those present in the pledge of allegiance to the flag. CONSENT CALENDAR On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council approved minutes of the Regular Meeting of June 13 , and the Adjourned Regular Meeting of June 15 , 1983 ; Warrant Register in the amount of $135 , 089 . 52 ; Financial Report for Period Ending July 31 , 1983 (Pro-Forma) ; adopted RESOLUTION NO. 42-83 RELATED TO THE USE OF 4R INTERSTATE FUNDS FOR STATE ROUTE 17 ; considered written communication from the Dublin San Ramon Services District regarding a joint meeting; adopted RESOLUTION NO. 43-83 AUTHORIZING MAYOR TO EXECUTE CONTRACT FOR PARATRANSIT SERVICES FOR FISCAL YEAR 1983-84 (Cm.

Weavie indicated he understood this and he requested no additional decisions , but rather wanted to make comments . CM-2-143 Regular Meeting August 22, 1983 Mr . Weavie indicated the element in the Specific Plan that he specifically wished to address was that which prohibits any service use such as financial organization, beauty shop, optometrist, etc . They feel very strongly that while it is not their intention to have a substantial amount of such usage in their center, it is imperative that they have some flexibility in order not to have to come back to the Council every time there is a tenant who wishes to lease some space . Mr . Weavie felt the solution to both their problem and the Council ' s problem would be for the Council to designate a % of the total square footage as being permissable for these types of uses . Mr. Leavie indicated that even though this prohibition may well have been documented, for some reason it was not communicated to them in a fashion that they perceived what was happening. They have written a letter to the Planning Director and expect to eventually approach the Planning Commission and City Council with a specific request and concept. Mayor Snyder opened the public hearing. The City Manager indicated the City has received communication from Barratt, who presently has a pending application which will be affected by the zoning on the area. Barratt has requested consideration of this particular area be continued by the City Council until their meeting of September 26, 1983 . Michael Huss, Castillian Road addressed the Council and asked the Planning Director if the Staff recommendation for this parcel was indeed multi-family residential at 13-18 dwelling units per acre.

STONERIDGE QUARRY Last year the City experienced problems with trucks from the Stoneridge Quarry traveling on San Ramon Road. Staff met with the owners of the quarry to discuss the problem. The owners were very cooperative and agreed to re- route trucks onto the freeway for northbound travel . The City has recently received a letter from Mr. John Wyro on behalf of the quarry requesting that the City consider sending correspondence to the County indicating that the quarry has been cooperative with the City and further stated that the City has no objection to the renewal of the quarry' s permit which will expire in the fall of 1984 . On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council authorized the City Manager to draft a letter to Alameda County indicating the City ' s position.

Cm. Hegarty suggested that because of the volume of this report, a special meeting be held to discuss the Committee ' s recommendations . Cm. Moffatt suggested Staff advise Murray School District that the City would like to study this issue further, but may be interested in the Fallon School site . We have 60 days to respond with an indication of interest. Staff indicated the City would still have sufficient time to respond after the special meeting. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council agreed to have a special meeting on September 21, 1983 for purposes of discussing the Park & Recreation Advisory Committee report. Staff will determine location of meeting. REVIEW OF ZONING INVESTIGATION 7177 ROSITA COURT, GRISON There was concern raised at the last Council meeting with respect to the way in which the zoning investigation was handled on this incident. . Larry Tong presented Staff report. Mr. Tong explained that Staff has been performing zoning investigations under two situations : a) when an official complaint is filed; b) when a planning, building permit, or other application for City approval is filed. The Zoning Ordinance (Section 8-60 . 21) does not permit the repair, dismantling, or painting of motor vehicles or the storage of equipment, or materials in the front yard (includes driveway) of any residential district. Restoration of vehicles has typically been considered a use prohibited in the front yard of residential neighborhoods. The intent of the Zoning Ordinance is to maintain front yards free and clear of auto repair and restoration, to keep the yards neat and orderly, and to protect the neighborhood character of the residential districts . The Zoning Ordinance ( Sections 8-63 . 1 , 8-63 . 2 ) requires a property owner to provide parking spaces and to keep the required parking spaces accessible . The Zoning Ordinance does not permit the storage of any goods, including an inoperable auto frame, in the driveway. CM-2-145 Regular Meeting August 22 , 1983 On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by majority vote, the Council agreed to: 1) maintain the existing Zoning Ordinance provisions that prohibit restoration of vehicles in the front yard of residential districts; 2 ) maintain the existing zoning ordinance provisions that require clear access to required parking spaces ; 3 ) request Mr . Grison to comply with the zoning ordinance within three weeks (by September 12 , 1983 ) ; 4 ) maintain zoning investigation program on same basis as currently exists . Voting no on this motion was Cm. Moffatt. Cm. Hegarty indicated he would like to see the City go on record that this ordinance is in effect and the City will start strict enforcement in 6 months . Cm. Jeffery questioned if he desired money allocated for this strict enforcement . Staff suggested this issue would be a good item to include in a City Newsletter in the future . On motion of Cm. Burton, seconded by Cm. Moffatt, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to investigate and report back to the Council within the next 2 months, how other cities enforce their zoning ordinances . Cm. Jeffery also asked that Staff request information related to how other cities control auto repairs in residential garages . ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING SPEED LIMITS SIERRA LANE AND COURT At its meeting of August 8 , 1983 , the City Council introduced an ordinance changing the prima facie speed limit of 25 mph to 30 mph on Sierra Lane and on Sierra Court from Dublin Boulevard to Trinity Court. On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Hegarty, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 10-83 ESTABLISHING TRAFFIC REGULATIONS - SPEED LIMITS ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING PASSENGER LOADING ZONE DUBLIN BOULEVARD @ REGIONAL STREET At its meeting of August 8 , 1983 , the City Council introduced an ordinance which would establish a passenger loading zone on Dublin Boulevard at Regional Street. This zone was requested by the U. S . Post Office in order that a mailbox could be installed at that location. The establishment of this zone would result in the elimination of two ( 2 ) off-street parking spaces in front of Homestead Savings . CM-2-146 Regular Meeting August 22, 1983 On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council waived the reading and adopted ORDINANCE NO. 11-83 ESTABLISHING TRAFFIC REGULATIONS - PASSENGER LOADING ZONE STREET SWEEPING SERVICES CONTRACT On July 26 , 1982 , the City Council awarded a bid to Marc Sweeping Service to provide street sweeping service to the City of Dublin. The effective date of the contract with Marc Sweeping Services was October 1, 1982 with an expiration date of October 1, 1983 . The contract did provide that the City and Contractor could mutually agree to extend the contract for an additional one year period. Staff has monitored the street sweeping service, and believes that the overall quality of service has been quite good. Several positive comments regarding sweeping have been received at the office. The Contractor has responded quickly when complaints have been received, and has made an effort to contact the complainant in addition to remedying the complaint. The Contractor has also been innovative in his approach to sweeping to keep costs down, and has further agreed to provide additional service related to litter control and pick up when requested by the City. Marc Sweeping Service is requesting a 3 year extension to the existing contract, and provided rates for a 3 year period. A motion was made by Cm. Burton and seconded by Cm. Moffatt to offer a 3 year contract extension to Marc Sweeping Service. A cancellation clause should also be added. The City Manager clarified that the City has a 30 day cancellation clause . This motion was defeated due to NO votes cast by Cm. Jeffery, Hegarty and Mayor Snyder. A motion. was made by Cm. Moffatt and seconded by Cm. Burton to extend 1 year with an additional 1 year renewal . After discussion, Cm. Moffatt withdrew his motion and Cm. Burton withdrew his second on this motion. On motion of Cm. Hegarty, seconded by Cm. Jeffery, and by unanimous vote, the Council authorized Staff to negotiate a one ( 1) year extension to the City' s existing agreement with Marc Sweeping Service which would include the following elements : 1) a 5% increase effective October 1, 1983 for sweeping service provided within the City; 2 ) the Contractor would continue to provide parkway and median litter pickup at the existing rate of $38 . 44/hour; 3 ) the Contractor would continue to provide street-side pickup for City trash receptacle at the existing rate of $1 . 15/receptacle/pickup . CM-2-147 Regular Meeting August 22, 1983 GUMPERT RANCH, CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, DRAFT EIR The Planning Director explained that this project involves an amendment to the General Plan of Contra Costa County for the San Ramon Valley Area. The site covers 2 , 300 acres and is located north of Camp Parks , east of Dougherty Road. On August 15 , 1983 , the Planning Commission reviewed the Draft EIR and recommended comments for City Council consideration: 1 ) the traffic impacts on Dougherty Road and other streets in Dublin, such as Amador Valley Boulevard, need to be further investigated; 2 ) the impacts related to extending DSRSD services to the project site need to be clarified; 3 ) the school system needs to be carefully planned for the projects . Cm. Jeffery felt that if the Dublin San Ramon Services District annexes this property, it could have a great impact on the City. Cm. Burton felt the sewer capacity is precious to us, and suggested recommending they go with sewage north to Contra Costa Central Sanitation in that we don ' t want to jeopardize our sewer capacity . On motion of Cm. Jeffery, seconded by Cm. Burton, and by unanimous vote, the Council directed Staff to forward the above comments, along with the Planning Commission comments to the Contra Costa County Planning Department . OTHER BUSINESS Dues Increase - League of CA Cities Cm. Moffatt reported that it appears that the East Bay Division is the only holdout in the League of California Cities related to increasing the dues . Cm. , Burton clarified that we simply didn' t want to give them a Carte Blanche 10% per year increase and further felt the 40% increase in one year was too much. Cm. Moffatt reported an upcoming dinner meeting on September 23rd at the Alameda Naval Air Station Officer ' s Club. They are trying to get Willie Brown as speaker. Cm. Jeffery reported she will be attending League policy meetings in Sacramento on August 31st and will make appointments to see legislators . Mayor Snyder indicated he had spoken with Bill Baker who advised that he will be available on August 31st and September 1st to meet .with representatives from the various cities . 0 Signs Cm. Jeffery indicated a concern regarding signs being tacked on telephone poles and signs in medians . She felt that since campaign time is approaching, we should crack down on enforcing our ordinance related to the placement of these signs . CM-2-148 Regular Meeting August 22, 1983 Housing Commission Cm. Hegarty reported there will be a grand opening sometime in September of the 38 units in Emeryville . Chamber of Commerce Cocktail Party Cm. Burton reminded the Council of the Chamber month end cocktail party on Thursday, August 25th at the Heritage Center. Dublin ' s Proposed Planning Area Cm. Burton indicated he had received a call from Grace Poulson from the Palomares Area Landowner ' s Association indicating the people who were at the meeting were not residents within the planning area. She will send a list of the people who are in the planning area, and felt we should send them a card that can be returned in order to get more of a balanced viewpoint.
