4.4 Time Extension for Comprehensive Traffic Engineering Study
In October, 1984, JHK & Associates were selected to conduct a Comprehensive

Associates, Inc.

contract personnel are necessary. The amendment of the agreement would provide
for the use of a Zoning Investigator on an as-needed basis and establish an hourly
rate for the service. The proposed amendment also denotes Taugher & Associates as
a California Corporation.

5. WRITTEN COMMUNICATIONS
5.1 From Donald R. Shanks, 7681 Ashford Way Re Installation of Soundwall along Alcosta
Boulevard & Kimball Avenue
The City Council received a request from a resident whose property is adjacent to
Alcosta Boulevard. The resident has suggested the installation of a wall similar
to the one installed on Village Parkway. The Village Parkway project was
undertaken to improve appearance and eliminate public safety concerns where the
dilapidated fencing encroached on City owned sidewalks. The sidewalks along
Alcosta Boulevard are within the City of San Ramon and much of the proposed area
is adjacent to San Ramon businesses.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Direct Staff to send a letter to Mr. Shanks denying the
request and indicating the basis for the decision.
5.2 Memorandum from Planning Commission Re Property Maintenance Ordinance
On April 15, 1985, the Planning Commission requested the City Council to consider
a property maintenance ordinance to address community aesthetics. The Planning
Commission was particularly concerned with unkept lawns and front yards.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider whether or not to 1) prepare draft property
maintenance ordinance addressing community aesthetics
and/or 2) prepare pro-active community aesthetics program.
6. PUBLIC HEARING
6.1 Stagecoach Road - Regulation of Vehicular Traffic
The City has received a petition from residents on Stagecoach Road requesting that
the newly constructed extension be closed to through traffic from Amador Valley Boulevard.
The residents have a concern over the speed of vehicles. This matter is complicated by the
fact that the older section has never been accepted by the City as a public improvement due
to soils problems within the tract. The enforcement of traffic laws on a private roadway
requires a public hearing and specific findings must be made to allow traffic enforcement.

testimony from public; question Staff and public; close public hearing and
deliberate; adopt resolution regulating vehicular traffic on Stagecoach Road;
authorize City Traffic Engineer to conduct a speed survey on Stagecoach Road.

acre site on Dublin Boulevard into 3 lots and ultimately develop 3 office
buildings with approximately 180,000 sq. ft. The Planning Commission approved the
extension with a condition requiring $69,000 toward a traffic signal at Dublin
Boulevard/Sierra Court. The issue involves paYment towards the traffic signal to
lessen traffic impacts even if the project does not have a direct connection to
the intersection.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Open public hearing; hear presentation and testimony; pose
questions; close public hearing; deliberate; adopt resolution denying
appeal and upholding Planning Commission conditions of approval.
