Subject:Dublin Ranch - Areas A (PA 99-060) Wildfire Conditions of approval
Dear Mike:
I am writing this letter in response to our telephone conversation regarding the Vesting Tentative Map and
Site Development Review Conditions of Approval for the individual neighborhoods within Area A.
It came to our attention that Condition #50 for Neighborhood A4 (resolution #00-40) and Condition #46 for
neighborhood A5 (resolution #00-41) regarding the Landscape Fire Buffer Zone should read the same for
all of the neighborhoods with the exception of Neighborhood A7. It was also discovered that the Landscape
Fire Buffer Zone Condition (#50) for Neighborhood A7 (resolution #00-43) needs to be changed.
We discussed that the following changes would be made;
Condition #50 for Neighborhood A4 (resolution #00-40) and Condition #46 for Neighborhood A5
(resolution #00-41) should read: Landscape Fire Buffer Zone. "In the event that the golf course
landscaping is not installed at the time of occupancy of any units in the subdivision, the Applicant
/Developer shall construct landscaping for a temporary Fire Buffer Zone along the exterior boundary
line of the subdivision to prevent the spread of fires as specified in the Wildfire Management plan."
Condition #50 for Neighborhood A7 (resolution g00-43) should read: Landscape Fire Buffer Zone.
"The landscape plans shall include a Fire Buffer Zone along the easterly boundary line of the
subdivision to prevent the spread of fires as specified in the Wildfire Management Plan."
If you agree with these changes please sign and date this letter and return a copy to our office.
Best Regards,
MacKay & Somps
