The attached document was received in the City Clerk's office after distribution of the October 4, 2011 City Council meeting agenda packet. 10-4-11 6.1 v 6968 Sierra Court Dublin LLC 200 Ravenna Way EI Dorado Hills, CA 95762 October 4, 2011 Dublin City Council City Hall 100 Civic Plaza Dublin, CA 94568 C/0 Brad Brown All American Label; via email Re: October 4th 2011 Meeting -City of Dublin General Plan and Floor Area Ratio Dear City Council Members, I write you as a neighboring landowner of All American Label located at 6958 Sierra Court Dublin, CA 94568. I am General controlling partner of real property located at 6968 Sierra Court, Dublin, CA 94568. It is my understanding that the City Council will determine whether or not the City of Dublin General Plan permits a Floor Area Ratio in excess of forty percent (40%) for industrial commercial property located in Dublin. It appears that there are many properties within the City Plan with over that ratio and in fact fifty percent (50%) ratio is allowed in East Dublin. I operated a business at 6968 Sierra Court Dublin CA, from 1990 to 2009 and I am current landlord located across the street (at the end of Sierra Court) from All American Label. Brad Brown has vastly improved the property at 6958 Sierra Court since he took~control of property and as an owner occupied property type owner continues to maintain his property in an A-1 condition. In Brad's property improvement process additional space was added to his building. The additional building space replaced tuck away unused land with no neighbor business to the north side of property being impacted by this addition. In my opinion the "additional building space" was an eye sore and the land space now being . utilized was a fire hazard and garbage heap and was not maintained by prior owners before Brad took control of property. The way I understand the City of Dublin General Plan and CC&R's of this business park 40 percent (40%) FAR is the suggested ratio. Additionally my observations in today's current economic climate it is nice to see a thriving business in The City of Dublin creating jobs and revenue for the City of Dublin and surrounding businesses. Brad has a choice to operate his type business anywhere in the world. To me this is a compelling government concern in keeping business in our country and should be of concern for the City of Dublin, County of Alameda, State of California and the country we all love USA. Brad chose to stay operate here and expand his business tastefully in the City of Dublin. I think his addition also gives addition tax revenue opportunity to the City of Dublin and the County of Alameda. I understand rules and laws are in place to protect property owners and to keep The City of Dublin the beautiful City the General Plan envisions. I i,i~ J believe Brad has kept his improvements within the bigger picture intent of the City of Dublin founding fathers intentions of making Dublin the All American City it is known for. I strongly believe that any FAR restriction imposed on this property would only hurt property values in the immediate area of 6958 and 6968 Sierra Court properties and in this case return property to an . unsightly condition and loss of potential tax revenue to City of Dublin and Alameda County. I strongly recommend a variance on Floor Area Ratio at property located at 6958 Sierra Court City of Dublin. I would be happy to discuss this matter with any council member directly should you have any questions or comments. My cell phone number is 916-541-7756.
