FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: November 19, 1991
SUBJECT: Letter of Agreement - Sunset Development Company, Former Southern Pacific Right of
Way, San Ramon Area
W. O. No.: 5575
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE Letter of Agreement dated October 3, 1991,from Sunset Development Company and
AUTHORIZE the County Administrator to execute said agreement on behalf of the County.
II. Financial Impact:
None.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
In a License Agreement effective January 18, 1990, the County granted Sunset Development
Company the right to construct a trail and certain channel improvements across a portion of the
former Southern Pacific Right of Way in the San Ramon area adjacent to Sunset's Bishop Ranch
complex. The channel improvements include the development of a mitigation wetland, triggered
by the relocation of a drainage ditch on Sunset's property and required by the Army Corps of
Engineers to replace existing wetlands. In the Letter being submitted for the Board's approval,
Sunset agrees to pay up to $500,000 of the County's costs if the Corps of Engineers requires
future modification or relocation of the wetlands. This agreement will remain in force until
January 1, 2011. The wetlands area has been designed so that it does not encroach upon the
reserved transit corridor. However, should the proximity of wetlands delay or jeopardize the
construction of a future transit project,the County will have funding for modification or relocation.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to approve the Letter of Agreement will result in the loss of funding should future
relocation of the wetlands become necessary.
