would be as mentioned in Condition 7 regarding road improvements on Foothill Road and signalization of Foothill Road and Laurel Creek; and also the pro-rata cost of replacing the undersized water line in Dublin Canyon Road as noted in Condition 10. He showed a scale model of the project. He said he has met with three surrounding property owners and understands their concerns. He stated they have brought up concerns that are valid regarding access to their property and told them that a security gate would be installed. He added that he is very willing to work with them. Chairman Hoyt asked haw his building might affect the surrounding land values. Mr. Christian did not know. Commissioner Berger asked if he had read the conditions and agreed with them. Mr. Christian said he agrees with them but just wanted clarification regarding Conditions 7 and 1D. Kirk Feldberg, 4b99 Herring Way, Pleasanton, also represented the application. He discussed the grading and geological analysis and felt it was appropriate for the site. Commissioner Tarver expressed concern about the ent-ance to the site parking area from Dublin Canyon Road and asked that the applicant point the area out on thF model. Mr. Feldberg did so. Commissioner Tarver felt that people would have a difficult time leaving the parki~~g area. Mr. Feldberg did not think that would Fe so but they would try to place the access as far back as possible. Commissioner Hovingh asked if the entrances were across from Holiday Inn. The applicant said they are parallel to the Holiday Inn. Commissioner Hovingh discussed the elevation and the traffic situation with the applicant. He expressed his concern that a driver would be only 16' away from the wall of the building or a concrete retaining wall. He felt that was too much concrete. Mr. Feldberg said they have tried to reduce the effect of the retaining wall by putting up additional landscaping. He pointed out that the Dakland Museum was in a similiar situation. He said that staff has suggested that berms be built in order to reduce the impact of the walls and cap the concrete walls with a brick veneer. Donna Miller, 1193 Dublin Canyon Road, said she has lived behind the proposed building for 39 years and that she would be looking right at it. She stated that she was shocked that such a large building was planned f or such a small site. She was distressed that her first knowledge of the project was when the geologist began digging dirt and then read about it in the paper. She expressed concern that her property would be greatly affected with the retaining walls and the grading. She Page 13
