Mr. Bocian then presented key points of the Development Agreement, stating the agreement <br />becomes effective upon the effective date of the Specific Plan; the PUDs for Hendrick and CLC, <br />whichever comes later. Staff attempted to address any concerns there may be relative to when <br />the agreement would be signed, and also in the event that there was any type of election <br />relative to the PUDs or to the Development Agreement, it would suspend the time when the City <br />Manager would actually execute the agreement. The term of the agreement is 10 years. The <br />annexation must occur within one year of the effective date, and important to note is that there <br />are no specific timelines for development. Councilmember Sullivan confirmed that if, after 10 <br />years, if there was a need for extension for the development agreement, it could be considered. <br />Mr. Bocian said the Alameda County Surplus Property Authority is dedicating the park to the <br />City and constructing all public improvements within the Stoneridge right -of -way and they will be <br />dedicating it to the City also. Mitigations included in the SEIR and EIR are reflective relative to <br />the $1.5 million in off-site traffic and roadway improvements, as well as a sound wall that will be <br />constructed at Marie and Curry Streets, and the $15,000 contribution to public art. Staff has <br />been working on a joint conceptual project with the Cities of Livermore and Dublin relative to <br />public art on the El Charro Bridge. <br />The Hendrick fees are capped at $3.5 million and there is a fee credit of $1.7 million to CLC for <br />the work it will be performing primarily relating to the Neighborhood Park. The Municipal Code <br />relative to public facilities fees provides for a credit to be issued in the event the developer <br />provides improvements. Staff spent time working with CLC to determine what the cost of those <br />improvements are, including the value added that the City will receive in having a turn -key park. <br />Finally, the development agreement incorporates the Staples Ranch policy statement, which the <br />Council approved last week, which includes all of the information relative to the opening of <br />Stoneridge Drive, and how this occurs. <br />The Purchase and Sale Agreement relating to the Stoneridge Park sets the terms of the sale of <br />the land from Alameda County Surplus Property Authority to the City, and a Funding and <br />Improvement Agreement outlines each parties' responsibilities for improvements on that park. <br />As indicated, the park is 4.8 acres, and the City will own the park at close of escrow. <br />The City will maintain and operate the entire park and its programs. At the City's option, it may <br />create a maintenance and /or assessment district for the maintenance of the detention basin <br />area of the park. Regarding CLC's fee credit, it pertains to the work it will be doing in the <br />neighborhood park, as well as providing funding for the good neighbor fence construction <br />management services and construction of the detention basin. All parties will share in the cost <br />of the detention basin improvements based upon the portion and share of impervious surface. <br />Calculations have been determined to date for all projects and how much storm water detention <br />is required for each development. <br />Regarding cost factors, the estimated cost of the site is approximately $4.8 million. Final costs <br />will be obtained once all parcels are completely worked out. The developers are required to <br />contribute relative to their share of the need for the detention basin; however, Hendrick's is <br />capped at $350,000. The Alameda Surplus Property Authority is also making a contribution for <br />the run -off from Stoneridge Drive for the initial cost, leaving a balance of about $3 million. Staff <br />anticipates paying for it with a portion of cash and some of it will be financed over a 10 year <br />term. The terms of the financing are that the interest rate would be similar to the Local Area <br />Investment Fund (LAIF) currently at .59 %, but it would be adjusted annually. They expect to <br />bring a report back relative to the specific funding of the park when that occurs. <br />City Council Minutes <br />Page 7 of 15 September 7, 2010 <br />
