residential units in the Oakley area.
Jean Mesick, Community Development Department, described the
project sites and explained how the three Oakley rezoning requests
being heard today by the Board fit together and she commented on the
park proposed for the projects. She also commented on the inclusion of
provisions for Transportation Systems Management (TSM) , police
services and childcare, deed notification of surrounding agricultural
use and compliance with the Oakley Area General Plan.
Supervisor Torlakson questioned Ms. Mesick on the issue of
buffering and how it is addressed in the project for 2731-RZ.
The public hearing on 2731-RZ ( item T. 2) was opened, and the
following people appeared to speak:
Kathleen Mikula, Rt. 1 Box 214A, Oakley, commented that her
remarks pertained to all three Oakley rezoning requests being heard by
the Board today. Ms. Mikula spoke on the density, buffering, and
design of the projects. She also spoke on a petition by 180
homeowners that had been presented to Supervisor Torlakson and Karl
Wandry of the Community Development Department protesting the density
of 5-7 units per acre being proposed. She commented that a density of
5 units per acre would be an equitable compromise for the projects,
and that this would allow the developer to buffer the existing
homesites with one quarter acre lots and build homes that are
compatible with the existing homes.
Joe Raphael, Braddock & Logan, 14795 Washington Avenue, San
Leandro, representing the applicant questioned whether the Board was
hearing all three projects at once or separately and commented that
there was no problem with the conditions suggested by staff except for
two areas. He commented on buffering mitigations of single story
homes and the landscape easement, larger lot sizes and the fact that
some of the surrounding homeowners were proposing subdivision of their
properties. He requested reducing the size of the 10,000 square foot
lots on the one line to 8, 500 square feet to give the project a total
of three more lots. He commented on the acceptance of the one acre
park portion on their property. Mr. Raphael also commented that they
would like to eliminate the islands in the middle of the cul de sac
streets.
Supervisor Schroder proposed hearing rezoning applications
2731-RZ, 2732-RZ and 2738-RZ ( items T. 2, T. 3 and T. 4) all at the same
time prior to making a decision. Supervisor Torlakson agreed with
this proposal.
No one else appearing to speak on item T. 2, the Board moved to
the public hearing on item T. 3..
Mr. Raphael also representing the applicant on item T. 3 did not
wish to add any testimony and no one else appearing to testify on item
T. 3 , the Board moved to the hearing on item T. 4 and the following
people appeared to speak:
Frank Bellecci, Bellecci & Associates, 2552 Stanwell Drive #201,
Concord, applicant, representing Seeno Company, commented on a
reduction in the number of units requested, buffering, landscape
easement, the location of the proposed park, and requested approval of
the project.
Mitchell Mikula, Rt. 1 Box 214A, Oakley, commented on Gary Way
being removed, a buffering fence being made of chain link with redwood
slats built before the project is constructed, and provisions for
landscaping materials.
John L. Kammerer, 4430 Live Oak Avenue, Oakley, spoke on the
impact of the development project on alignment of Live Oak Avenue and
requested assurances that Live Oak is going to be a collector street
and not a parkway and wanted to know a project timetable for
establishing the precise alignment for Live Oak Avenue. He also
requested confirmation that the proposed development of this project
is consistent with the proposed alignment suggested by the Public
Works Department. . Mr. Kammerer also requested that the proposed
widening of Live Oak Avenue not be on his side of the street.
Jean Mesick clarified that in this area Live Oak Avenue is a
collector but pointed out that in the conditions of approval on page
4, letter g, it indicates that there would seven and a half feet more
for right of way along Live Oak, but did not know if it would affect
Mr. Kammerer' s property.
Rich Cagle, 400 Tate Lane, Oakley, commented on the Oakley
General Plan, requested a masonary wall instead of chain link fence
for buffering along Tate Lane, larger lot sizes and requested the
Board to consider 15 feet of landscaping and 15 feet of pavement along
Tate Lane with a curb and no sidewalk with drainage and gutters
installed to the end of his property.
Joan Brennan, 4455 Hagar Lane, Oakley, spoke in agreement with
Mr. Cagle on the request for Tate Lane, and requested Hager to be
blocked off at the end of the subdivision, so the traffic would not be
coming down Hagar which is a dirt road.
Virginia Hagar, 4430 Hagar Lane, commented on the condition of
Hagar Lane and having access to her property, and requested a barrier
be where the Cunha property comes in on Hagar Lane or to have Hagar
Lane a cul de sac. .
Michael Donovan, 1318 Veronica Court, Antioch, expressed concern .
about the widening of Live Oak Avenue.
Mike Lloyd, 4420 Live Oak Avenue, Oakley, on the corner of Tate
Lane and Live Oak Avenue, expressed concern about the development of
Tate Lane and the widening of Live Oak Avenue affecting his property
size.
Kathleen Mikula commented additionally on buffering and
landscaping, requesting help from the developer with the cost of
landscape materials, and pointed out that the service letters obtained
were from the wrong school district.
Frank Bellecci spoke in rebuttal agreeing on the issue of
eliminating Gary Way, and agreeing with whatever the staff deemed
appropriate on Live Oak Avenue, and having no problem with the
suggested barricade on Hagar Lane but expressed that the masonary wall
along Tate Lane would be a problem.
Supervisor Torlakson questioned Mr. Bellecci relative to the
chain link fence with redwood slats, a temporary barrier, and the
question of the islands being used on the cul de sac streets.
Mr. Bellecci responded to Supervisor Torlakson' s questions on
those issues.
Mr. Bellecci commented that on item 12B and 12C they are being
required to do over and above the normal requirement for frontage
improvement and requested a statement that over and above 20 feet of
improvement that Area of Benefit monies be utilized to improve Live
Oak Road and Empire Way.
Supervisor McPeak commented on the use of the islands in the cul
de sac streets, and emergency vehicles.
Mr. Bellecci responded that Contra Costa County Fire Protection
District, Riverview Fire Protection District, Oakley Fire Protection
District and Oakley Municipal Advisory Committee were not in favor of
islands in the cul de sac streets.
Supervisor Torlakson recommended closing the public hearings and
deferring decisions for a week to meet with the applicant and
residents to resolve the issues raised today. Supervisor Torlakson
discussed concerns with staff and requested staff to address issues
including the widening of Live Oak Avenue, the location of the
barricade, the area of benefit, landscaping materials, buffering and
density.
The Board discussed the matter.
Therefore, IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED that the hearings on
rezoning requests 2731-RZ, 2732-RZ and 2738-RZ are CLOSED and decision
