DISCUSSION I. Pre-Development and Cooperation Agreement between the City of Livermore. Alameda County Surplus Property Authority, County of Alameda, Vulcan Materials, and the City of Pleasanton EI Charro Road is the primary access for the quarry land located south of the Staples Ranch project and north of Stanley Boulevard. South of Freisman Road, the existing EI Charro Road is a private road owned by Vulcan Materials. As a condition of Vulcan's mining permit, Vulcan has offered to dedicate EI Charro Road to the County. However, the County cannot accept the dedication without maintaining access to the quarries. To accommodate the quarry access requirements, staff from Pleasanton, Livermore, Alameda County, the Surplus Land Authority, and Vulcan Materials met regularly for over a year to discuss traffic access, circulation, and safety concerns along EI Charro Road. The discussions considered the potential development of both the EI Charro Specific Plan and Staples Ranch projects in conjunction with existing and future traffic from the quarries. The conceptual design of EI Charro Road as identified in the agreement addresses Vulcan's concerns. The purpose of this agreement is to establish design, construction and access requirements for EI Charro Road improvements that meet the needs of all parties including Vulcan Materials' concerns regarding traffic circulation and potential safety impacts of new development associated with the Staples Ranch and EI Charro Specific Plan projects. Key terms of the Agreement are as follows: Establishes design standards, construction requirements and timetables for the construction of EI Charro Road to assure the roadway meets the needs of all parties. Note that the timetables do not require the roadway improvements to be constructed. Rather, they relate to the term of construction if the roadway is improved. Establishes that EI Charro Road can be constructed by either the City of Livermore or Pleasanton depending on development activity. Because Livermore has already approved the 42 acre Prime Outlet retail center at the corner of EI Charro and I-580, it is assumed that its development will precede any development at Staples Ranch and therefore, the agreement assumes Livermore will be the lead constructing agency. However, should that development not move forward and Pleasanton approves the Staples Ranch development, Pleasanton could become the lead constructing agency. Regardless of Livermore's development schedule/activity, nothing in the agreement obligates Pleasanton to approve the Staples Ranch development. Assures that Vulcan Materials has continued access to its quarry property and operations during and after the EI Charro Road improvements are constructed. Page 3 of 6
