Consider approval of Memorandum of Understanding between the County of Alameda, City of Pleasanton, CEMEX and Granite Construction Co. concerning the relocation of the asphalt plant operated by Granite to another site on the CEMEX property City Attorney Roush said in 2002 Granite Construction Company sought approval from the County to build a portable hot mix asphalt plant to be located on land owned by CMX in the unincorporated area of Alameda County. The plant is located east of the Vineyard Avenue corridor adjacent to the Arroyo and within 1000 feet of the Vineyard Avenue site where the Neal Elementary may be built. The Alameda County staff approved the plant without subjecting it to any public review process. After the plant was constructed, residents were inundated with negative impacts, primarily odor, noise and lights. Residents and staff contacted the County on several occasions once the plant began operations. There were a number of meetings and discussions to determine if there could be relocation to a less objectionable site. The discussions went on for 2.5 years, but recently an MOU had been reached by all parties and is now before the Council for final consideration. Under the terms of the MOU, Granite will use its best efforts to relocate the plant by March 31, 2008. This could be extended; however, it was within the County's sole discretion whether or not to grant such an extension, assuming that any delays were not the fault of the County or the City. If there are delays attributable, then the relocation date would be March 31, 2009. But, if that were to occur, there is a limitation on the number of days that Granite can produce the rubberized asphalt, which is the more objectionable materials made there. In any event, the plant cannot continue to operate after March 31, 2009. The cost to move the plant will be about $1.1 million and half of this will be picked up by the City; however, it is not General Fund money, but money Centex Homes provided to the City for this purpose. The proposed relocation of the plant is off of Stanley Boulevard, east of the Shadow Cliff's area, and is owned by East Bay Regional Park District. He said notice has been sent to people residing within 1,000 feet of the property and the MOU has been approved. He said City Council Minutes 7 September 4, 2007
