FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: February 15, 1994
SUBJECT: Peralta Road Widening project
Project No.: None
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) &BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
DIRECT the Public Works Director to begin work necessary for the design and construction of
the Peralta Road Widening project.
II. Financial Impact:
No General Fund monies will be used for this project. Full project funding has been deposited
in the Central County Area of Benefit (Trust Fund 8242) by Siemens Medical Laboratory, Inc.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
On January 17, 1989 the Board of Supervisors heard and denied the appeal of Siemens
Medical Laboratory, Inc. for payment of the Countywide Area of Benefit traffic mitigation
fee. The fee was collected in August 1988 when Siemens Medical Laboratory, Inc.
applied for a building permit to construct a new facility in the North Concord Area. This
area was originally annexed to the City of Concord. A lawsuit was filed against the
annexation which resulted in the annexation being voided. Because of this, the building
permit was applied for from the County rather than the City of Concord.
When the development program report for the Countywide Area of Benefit was prepared,
the North Concord area was either in the City of Concord or was included in the Bates
Avenue Assessment District for street improvements. This area was excluded from the
development potential calculation, and traffic mitigation projects in this area were not
included in the program. On this basis, the Board determi a that the fees collected
should be used to pay for Siemens' traffi mitigation irfith h Concord area.

Reasons for Recommendations and Background: (Cont.)
In denying the appeal, the Board directed the Public Works Department to coordinate with the
City of Concord to determine the appropriate traffic mitigation for the Siemens Development.
Siemens Medical Laboratory, Inc. deposited $350,000 in the Central County Area of Benefit for
offsite improvements when building permits were issued.
A refund of $119,660 ($100,607 plus accrued interest) was issued to Siemens Medical
Laboratory, Inc. on November 27, 1990 for offsite improvements.
The remaining money is to be used to mitigate traffic impacts that are determined by the County,
with the concurrence of the City of Concord, to be Siemens' responsibility. It has been
determined that the remaining money will be used to widen Peralta Road between Arnold
Industrial Way and Arnold Industrial Place. This project will fulfill Siemens' obligation to mitigate
traffic impacts in the North Concord area.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
The project would not be constructed, and Siemens would be relieved of their obligation to
contribute to the mitigation of traffic impacts in the North Concord area.
