Wingett, Executive Director Contra COsta DATE: February 7, 1984 County SUBJECT: Agreement for Legal Services in Connection with Implementation of Pleasant Hill BART Station Specific Plan SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION AUTHORIZE Executive Director to negotiate an agreement with Dooley, Anderson, Berg, Pardini, Johnson & Ziegler, Attorneys at Law, for legal services in connection with implementation of the Pleasant Hill BART Station Specific Plan. BACKGROUND i While BART is unable to participate in the initial financing of infra- structure improvements for the subject project, BART will benefit greatly from their completion. Completion of the infrastructure will make the BART station ready for joint development by providing improved access, adequate utilities, necessary drainage facilities, etc. While BART does not have funds currently available to initially participate in the financing of the infrastructure improvements, BART does have control of lands outside of the BART station area proper that the County needs in order to construct area road and drainage improvement and the Redevelopment Agency needs in order to allow development to proceed in areas 10A, 10B, 8 and 9. It is proposed that BART convey fee title to the properties outside of the station area proper (Specific Plan areas 11 and 12) . Those properties necessary for area road improvements would be conveyed at no charge and without any credit against future development fees . As the Specific Plan provides for BART to develop as much as two million square feet of office/ commercial development in the air space over the station, conveyance of this property at no cost (dedication) is consistent with requirements placed on other developers to dedicate property to public agencies for roadway purposes. With respect to those properties conveyed that are outside of the station area proper and outside of the areas necessary for roadway improvements (plan areas 10A, 10B, 8 and 9) , credit would be given against future develop- ment fees that BART (or its developer) would owe when the air space over the station develops. Specialized legal services are required to complete negotiations and reach agreement with BART regarding the aforementioned properties and BART' s participation in and contribution toward implementation of the Specific Plan.
