NOTES FROM CITY COUNCIL 1/14/93 PUBLIC HEARING RE: EASTERN DUBLIN
EAST BAY REGIONAL PARK DISTRICT
Martin Vitz
. Open space should be planned, it should be well-located/configured
regional open space.
. Review plan in regional open space context before Planning
Commission and City Council.
. There should be an adequate revenue stream to support plan.
. Open space lands should be dedicated as a condition of approval.
. Open space planning should be in accordance with open space
guidelines.
. Regional open space should have a development boundary with small,
not large, surface area (fingers of development should be
minimized) .
Andrea McKenzie
. Open space should have a 200 acre minimum size. In should be of
manageable size.
. Connections to regional level open space should be provided
. Transfer of Development Rights receiver sites not present in
plan.
. The Specific plan/General Plan Amendment open spaces have a lack
of connection.
. Drainage facilities in Specific Plan are not protected.
. Tassajara Creek 3:1 replacement infeasible. Leave channel
natural, not channelized.
Mariorie Koller
. In favor of plan
John Anderson
. Review water solid waste, schools, job/housing ratios on regular
basis to see if still viable.
. Interaction of variables, biology/habitats, geology,
social/projects, projects in region
. Modular. Go for revenue generating land uses first on Santa Rita
property and properties fronting on 1-580.
Kathryn Strauss
. Page 158 of Specific Plan, Comment 3.1. Development is piecemeal.
. Look at alternative 2 (RDA) instead.
. Remove Doolan Canyon from Plan.
. APA override can lead to liability re: accidents, noise/golf
course.
. Schools. Does not like change to General Plan language to say
"best efforts to get state funds". State requirements should be
met. Policy 8.3 should use old language, development should pay
its own way. Don't pay for new students with non Eastern Dublin
revenues.
. Rural residential lands should have deed restrictions.
