THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF CONTRA COSTA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA
Adopted this Order on May 15, 1990 by the following vote:
AYES: Supervisors Powers, Schroder, McPeak, Torlakson and Fanden
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
SUBJECT: Closure of a portion of Sunset Road, Brentwood Area
The Public Works Director reported that prior approval has
been granted to extend until June 1, 1990 the road closure previously
granted by the Board on February 27 , 1990 to T & S Construction for
the closure of Sunset Road between Highway 4 and Sellers Avenue in the
Brentwood area.
Supervisor Torlakson advised that there are concerns related
to extending the time for this road closure and that there were people
in the audience who wished to address the Board on this matter and
requested it be removed from the consent agenda for discussion.
The following persons appeared:
Lane Laird, 3150 Sellers Avenue, Brentwood, advised that
they owned and operated a fruit stand on Sellers Road and were
concerned about the impact on their business if access is not
available.
Lee Laird, 3150 Sellers Avenue, Brentwood, commented that it
was unreasonable to extend the closure of Sunset Road while the
contractor renegotiates the contract with the City of Brentwood, and
that there had been no work done in the past several weeks, and he
desired the road to be reopened.
Shirely Nunn, Route 1, Box 200, Brentwood, requested that no
extension be granted for the Sunset Road closure at this time, noting
that no work had been done for the past five weeks while the road was
closed. She advised that they also had a fruit stand, a U-pick
business and apple and cherry packing plants, and that lack of access
to their business during the fruit season would create a financial
hardship for them, the Lairds and others who depend on access from
Sunset.
Supervisor Torlakson commented on the need to support
argriculture in East County and the need for access to the U-pick and
packing plant operations. He noted the need to work with the City of
Brentwood, inasmuch as the development creating the need for the sewer
line is a Brentwood City project, and the road is a County Road. He
requested the Public Works Director to comment.
Michael Walford, Public Works Director, suggested the Board
put the matter over to the afternoon to allow him secure further
details from the contractor and the City of Brentwood. The Board
agreed.
Following consideration of the afternoon agenda, Mike
Walford reported that he had talked to the contractor and the City,
and it appears there is disagreement as to when the project will be
completed. He recommended that the Board take immediate steps to
revoke all previous approvals for the road closure, and that the road
not be closed again until after the harvest season.
IT IS BY THE BOARD ORDERED THAT all prior approvals granted
for the closure of the subject portion of Sunset Road in the Brentwood
Area are REVOKED, with the understanding that said road will remain
open until after the harvest season.
I thereby Certify that this is a true and Correct Copy of
an action taken and entered on the minutes of the
Board of Supervisors on the date shown.
ATTESTED.
