Only 25 feet of additional right of way will eventually be required on the southwest side of Neroly Road.

ATTESTED May 3, 1988 Public Works Dept. PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF Bellecci & Associates THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS The South Forty PartnershipCOUN Y ADMINISTRATOR BY , DEPUTY 1 a• -2- The issue revolves around the dedication of the right of way. The ultimate right of way is constrained on the west side of the road by the proximity of the railroad. Thus, the condition, as approved, allows the applicant to gain reasonable credit for that unequal distribution against the Oakley Area of Benefit fees. CONCLUSION The Community Development Department is recommending denial of the appeal on the basis that the condition as is treats the applicant fairly in light of the unequal distribution of right of way dedication.

KK/aa 12/7/87 12/22/87 Revised 2/8/88 SUBIII/6969C.KK PUBLIC WCEM TEPAinr CONTRA AKA COUNTY DATE April 28, 1988 TO: Harvey Bragdon, Director of Ccmimmity Development Elm: Michael Walford, Director of Public Works SUBJECT: 6969, Appeal by Public Works Your are referred to my memo to you, dated February 18, 1988, wherein we appealed Item D of the conditions of approval. Subsequently, we have met with the developer and altered the typical section of Neroly Road. We have mutually agreed that 23.5 ft. of additional RW will be required from each side of the existing 45 ft. RW. This will result in an ultimate road section of 72 ft. curb to curb in 92 ft. of RW. This section is less that the previous 110 ft. parkway section required by the now invalid Oakley General Plan, but is an increase over the major roads planned width of 84 ft. The difference will allow for the inclusion of a landscaped median strip as requested by Karl Wandry. With this change and agreement, the inequity in pavement widening is nonexistent; the basis of appeal has disappeared. The developer will accept the new arrangement without contest. Therefore, we ask that the appeal, scheduled to be heard at 2:OOpm May 2, 1988 before the Board of Supervisors, be withdrawn, and that you formally notify the developer. JMW/tld cc - M.F.
