STAFF RESPONSE TO FIRE DISTRICT COMMENT
"Standard policies with reference to access of emergency vehicles
through Sanitary District projects has been discussed with the Danville
Fire District. The following letter states the position of the Fire
District on this point. The points cited will be directly incorporated
into the permit and agreement book for this project."
STAFF RESPONSE TO PUBLIC MEDIA
"Approximately 1,000 acres of land known as Corduroy Hills lies
adjacent to the west boundary of the project. The Corduroy Hills land is
bounded on the south and west by the Las Trampas Regional Park and on the
north by private land of similar topography. The home of the author
Eugene O'Neill is situated on this land.
The 1,000 acres is made up of nine County Assessor's parcels with a
total assessed value of $2ll,820.00. The land and home is presently on
the market with the asking price of 1.8 million dollars. Because of
historical value of the home, the 'ruggedness of the topography and the
proximity to the Las Trampas' Regional Park, there has been some public
expression by individuals and newspaper editorials of the desirability of
including this land in the Regional Park District and the undesirability
of bringing sewers any closer to the Corduroy Hills land as this may create
a development feasibility.
The East Bay Regional Park District was contacted and it was learned
that they are developing a master plan which is scheduled to be completed
by the end of 1973 and adopted by the Board early 1974. At the present time,
approximately 40 sites are under study for possible inclusion in the plan
for future park acquisition. Two of these sites are in the vicinity of Las
Trampas Regional Park, one of which is the Corduroy Hills land. Should the
Corduroy Hills land be acquired by the Park District, it would undoubtedly
be included with and classified as wilderness as is the Las Trampas Park.
In this case, sewage disposal would be a small problem and could be accom-
plished without a public system. The home, whether purchased by the Park
District or by others, could connect to the project 1.000 feet away.
The Corduroy Hills land is within an area designated by the County's
'General Plan' as low density residential development which anticipates a
rezoning from the existing 'A-2' to a zoning of R-20 to R-40, the same
as that of the project area. Development of the Corduroy Hill land may be
feasible, however, some difficult and expensive problems exist such as
water service, road access and sewer service.
Approximately 30% of the land area drains through the project. This
30%, because of the topography, would probably develop to the highest density
while some of the land to the north may remain undeveloped.
The sewers proposed by the project have an ultimate capacity to serve
~75 homes through each of the 6-inch reaches and 450 homes through the 8-inch
line which collects the 6-inch reaches. The number of homes which could be
built on the Corduroy Hills property is unknown at this time. It is con-
ceivable that the majority of the homes built on this land could sewer
through the proposed project sewers, and based on the County's General Plan
could easily exceed what could be allowed through the project sewers. In
allowing any connections from Corduroy Hills to the sewer system, the District
planning would have to recognize the possibility of the development of the
total property at densities based on the County's' General Plan. Therefore,
any connections would start the planning for the installation of parallel
sewer mains downstream of the development which would have to be financed
by the developers of Corduroy Hills.
It is doubtful that the project sewers would relieve the developers
of Corduroy Hills land of any sewering expense as the financing of a parallel
1 ine would be required."

Board Members, with staff participation, reviewed and exchanged comments
on the Environmental Impact Report, Schedule 2.
After discussion, President Rustigian asked if there were persons in
the audience that desired to address the Board on Schedule 2.
Mr. Allan Cox, 235 Montgomery Street, San Francisco, California,
addressed the Board and stated that ;lesupportedl...o.ca1. Improvement District No. 54,
Schedule 2 and in his opinion, the proposed sewering project was environmentally
sound.
Mrs. Mary Linney, P. O. Box l27, Danville, California, addressed the
Board and stated she approved the proposed sewering project, Local Improvement
District No. 54, Schedule 2.
Mr. Daniel Belton, 671 Clipper Hill Road, ,Danville, California addressed
the Board and indicated his support for Local Improvement District No. 54,
Schedule 2.
President Rustigian asked if there were persons in the audience opposed
to Local Improvement District No. 54, Schedule 2. There were none.
It was moved by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Allan, that the
Environmental Impact Report, Local Improvement District No. 54, Schedule 2,
be adopted.
Prior to vote on the motion, Member Mitchell commented that the proposed
project could result in an adverse impact upon the environment, particularly
as it may affect the Corduroy Hills area, and that he was not totally con-
vinced that a health problem existed for the Local Improvement District No. 54,
Schedule 2 area.
Mr. Kenneth Samuels, 700 Clipper Hill Road, Danville, California, addressed
the Board and stated that a health problem did exist in the Local Improvement
District No. 54, Schedule 2, area. He stated that there have been septic tank
failures in the area. Mr. Samuels commented that the Corduroy Hills area
was not germane to the issue of solving the sewage problems of the Schedule 2
area, particularly as the,Corduroy Hills area was unlikely to be developed in
the foreseeable future because of certain financial encumbrances and type of
terrain.
Member Gibbs commented that it had been the policy of the Board to
oppose installation of sewers that could service "green belt areas" as defined
by the County Board of Supervisors. However, District policy was to provide
sewers for those already developed areas if the people so desire them and it
was economically feasible.
After further discussion by Board Members, President Rustigian requested
a vote on the motion by Member Gibbs, seconded by Member Allan, that the
Environmental Impact Report, Local Improvement District No. 54, Schedule 2,
be adopted.

Mr. Horstkotte commended Mr. Lloyd Smith, District staff, for his
preparation of the Environmental Impact Reports for Local Improvement District
No. 54. Mr. Horstkotte commented that staff's approach in preparation of
Environmental Impact Reports was to maintain complete objectivity. He sug-
gested that, as a practical matter, Environmental Impact Reports should be
prepared prior to any engineering design work by the staff.
Member Gibbs and Mitchell commented favorably on the impact ~eports as
prepared by staff but Member Mitchell expressed concern regarding the
environmental impact on the adjacent and Clipper Hill Road areas of Schedule
2, and the role of the County Health Department in issuing temporary permits
for septic tanks.
Mr. Frank Angelo, County Health Department, addressed the Board in
response to comments by Member Mitchell. Mr. Angelo explained that personnel
of the Health Department have always coordinated efforts with the staff of the
District regarding formation of Proposed Sewering Areas, Local Improvement
Districts and to alleviate health problems. He indicated that, prior to issuance
of temporary permits for septic tanks, liaison was established with District staff
to determine and develop a coordinated plan for providing sewer service for af-
fected areas. Mr. Angelo stated that, in addition to the program of coordinated
planning with the District staff, the Health Department, through ordinances and
regulations, has raised standards for septic tanks.
Mr. Gene Green, County Health Department. addressed the Board and stated
that, in 1969, the Distric t provided the Health Department with correspondence
indicating the District's intention to provide sewer service for the Schedule 2
area. Member Mitchell requested staff to provide District file information
on the matter. '
After Member Allan commented favorably on the Environmental Impact Reports,
Mr. Jack Best. Manager, Engineering Department, explained staff rationale for
the preparation of Environmental'Impact Reports in four schedules.

ANNEXATION - BLACKHAWK RAi~CH
Mr. William A. Morse, Executive Vice President" Blackhawk Development
Company, addressed the Board and utilizing maps and charts. explained his
company's planned development for the Blackhawk Ranch property. Mr. Morse stated
that, of the 4,700 acres involved, only approximately 24-1/2% would be developed.
The remaining property would be designated for permanent open space.
Mr. Morse explained that the property would be developed in phases over
a 12 to 15 year period, would include two golf courses and an equestrian center,
and that density of living units (4,380 units vs. 4,700 acres) was less than
one. He stated that the bulk of the property is located within the service
area of the East Bay Municipal Utility District. He said that an effort would
be made to coordinate the boundaries of the property to be annexed to District
so as to coincide with East Bay Municipal Utility District service boundaries.
Board Members, staff and'Mr. Morse discussed the matter of boundaries for
the property to be annexed to the District and whether they should coincide with
East Bay Municipal Utility District service boundaries for the Blackhawk Ranch.

It was the consensus of the Board that areas of the Blackhawk Ranch property,
designated to be "open space", should be excluded from annexation to the District.
Boundaries of property annexed to the District need not coincide with boundaries
of the East Bay Municipal Utility District service area for the Blackhawk Ranch
property.
Discussion followed in regard to adequacy of the District's current fee
schedule to finance watershed sewer lines and, in this instance, ultimately
finance a major sewer trunk line envisaged for San Ramon Valley. Staff in-
dicated that based on current watershed planning and projected development,
the present fee schedùle was adequate.
It was moved by Member Mitchell, seconded by Member Gibbs, that annexa-
tion of the Blackhawk Ranch property be accepted and that specific boundaries
of the area to be annexed will be further defined for review and approval by
the Board. Carried by the following vote:
