Subject: FW: Lund Ranch II <br />From: Scott Dickson <br />Sent: Tuesday, November 17, 2015 9:58 AM <br />To: Mayor and City Council <br />Subject: Lund Ranch II <br />^t F2r ,Eilli NTAL MATERIAL <br />Provided to the City Council <br />After Distribution of Packet <br />Data <br />Sir: <br />I would like to raise 1 point of contention regarding the proposed development of Lund Ranch 11 as it relates to the <br />interpretation of Measure PP. <br />The basic issue I have is that the language and definition of a "structure" can be contorted so as to exclude a manmade <br />road., which is ridiculous. While 1 am sure lawyers and others can achieve this linguistic feat, it does defy common <br />sense, dictionary definitions and as 1 would like to reference, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. <br />lam a former U.S. Army Engineer Officer and reference their Engineering Manual (1110 -3 -132): <br />Engineer Manual <br />No. 1110 -3 -132 <br />DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY <br />U. S. Anny Corps of Engineers <br />Washington, D. C. 20314 <br />Engineering and Design <br />RIGID PAVEMENTS FOR ROADS, STREETS, WALKS <br />AND OPEN STORAGE AREAS <br />The words "Structural" is referenced 9 times and "Structure" 5 in this manual referring to road construction. I will <br />simply use the first reference as an example: <br />"1 -2. Basis of pavement design. <br />a. Design factor. The prime factor influencing the structural <br />design of a pavement is the load - carrying capacity required...." <br />I feel it is clear that a road is a structure and therefore is included in the scope of measure PP. <br />Cordially, <br />Scott Dickson <br />5670 Sunset Creek Ct <br />Pleasanton, CA 94566 <br />Click here to report this email as spam. <br />1 <br />
