Martinez, CA 94553 RE: Discovery Bay MAC Moratorium Request The Hofmann Company would like to go on record in response to the Discovery Bay MAC's request for a "moratorium." We believe that we have complied with or intend to comply with nearly every item on their moratorium list. The following are specific responses to the individual items on the list: Item #1 The Hofmann Company intends to have up front agreements for water and sewer service with Sanitation District #19. Item #2 The Hofmann Company already has an agreement with the Byron Union School District. In addition, adequate mitigation of school facility impacts is generally a standard condition of approval in Contra Costa County. Item #3 Discovery Bay West will provide an additional access road by extending Newport Drive to the north. Item #4 Roads and Signals will have to be improved as a condition of approval per the analysis by the EIR traffic consultant and the Public Works Department. Item #5 Widening Kellogg Creek and dredging Indian Slough are measures that are not within the authority of the Hofmann Company. The Hofmann Company does not own either of these two sites. J Item #6 Discovery Bay West residents will have to pay $200 per year towards a P-District as a standard,condition of approval. A portion of this money should be earmarked to provide increased marine patrol of the area. Item #7 The Hofmann Company has no problem with Discovery Bay West paying its proportionate share for a community center. A community center site was dedicated to the County by the Hofmann Company in about 1980. The Hofmann Company, although under no obligation, was prepared to build the "shell" of a community center two years ago. State funding was arranged and everything was ready to go, until the community decided to back away from their selected site. Item #8 The Hofmann Company is and has been making a tangible effort to bring more shopping to Discovery Bay. The increase in population from Discovery Bay West will help make a supermarket much more feasible. Item #9 The residential density at Discovery Bay West is actually less than that at Discovery Bay. The overall density is only slightly higher. (See attached density comparison table.) Item #10 Discovery Bay West will comply with the county's park requirements. The Discovery Bay West plan includes more than 23 acres of parks, whereas the county requirement is only for.15.6 acres. We hope this response resolves any questions you may have regarding this matter. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you would like further clarification or additional information.
