TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: February 23, 1993
SUBJECT: Set Date for Public Hearing to Revise the Oakley/North Brentwood, Discovery Bay and
East County Area of Benefit Fee Schedules for Delta Expressway.
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
FIX March 23, 1993 at 11:00 AM for a public hearing to revise the Area of Benefit fee schedule
for Oakley/N. Brentwood, Discovery Bay, Bethel Island and East County subarea of the East
County Area of Benefit to provide adequate funding for the State Route 4 Bypass.
DIRECT the Public Works Director to give notice of the hearing and to file a copy of the
Engineer's Report on the State Route 4 Bypass Funding Mechanism with the Clerk of the Board
in accordance with Government Code Sections 65091, 65962, and 66484.
II. Financial Impact:
Modifying the Area of Benefit contribution will provide an adequate funding mechanism to design
and construct the State Route 4 Bypass which is a major transportation corridor contained in
the County's General Plan and the Transportation Authority's Congestion Management Program
(CMP). The County is required to implement the CMP in order to receive the allotted funding
provided by gas tax revenues.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
The existing State Route 4 extends through the downtown areas of Brentwood and the
communities of Byron, Oakley, Knightsen, and Discovery Bay. The existing SR4 through the3e
communities is an at-grade limited capacity highway, located adjacent to schools, shopping, and
numerous residences with direct access to the highway. These communities have realized the
complications associated with high traffic volumes and truck traffic mi with local traffic. The
State Route 4 "Bypass" will shift regional traffic from local streets a II ited access highway.

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:(Cont.)
The only viable funding source for the 'Bypass" project is through development fees. Thus, the
State Route 4 Bypass Authority recommends that the County Board of Supervisors conduct a
public hearing, to modify the Area of Benefit Fee schedules in the general East County region
to provide an adequate funding mechanism to design and construct the SR4 Bypass.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Failure to fix a hearing date would prevent modification of the SR4 Bypass development
contribution. As a result, high traffic volumes and truck traffic would continue to be a potential
hazard along with increased congestion on the local roads through East County. In addition,
the County could not allow any further development within the East County Area. If development
did occur, the County would fail to comply with the requirements outlined in the CMP.
