complete application to City Council hearing.
b) With an Environmental Impact Report, a minimum of 3 to 6 months from time
of complete application to City Council hearing.

Dear Members of the City Council;
On July 12, 1982, our application for a renewal of the Tentative
Map #5047 for 145 Condominium Units on 13.4 acres was appealed by the
neighboring landowners and the Council has referred the application
to Staff with directions to confer with us and the appellants in order
to resolve their differences. There was also the recommendation that
a traffic study should be completed on San Ramon Rd and the intersection
of Dublin Blvd. and Donlon Way before a final decision can be made.
I hereby request that the City Council defer action and temporarily
suspend the Tentative Map appeal for 150 days.
The reason for this request is we have a Developer who is interested in
putting a Planned Unit Development of apartment units on that property
and we will be making that application as soon as we receive notice that
your Council has approved the temporary suspension of the Tentative Map.
We feel that apartments will better serve Dublin's housing needs because
our marketing survey showed there were no vacancies and every apartment
house had a waiting list with several people seeking apartments every
day. Dublin has hundreds of businesses that employ middle and moderate
income people that must have housing. The impact of major businesses
coming into this area will only aggrevate the situation.
We hope you will support the need for affordable rental housing and will
help expedite the processing of this new (PUD) application so it can be
approved by the 150 days. It is our understanding, that if the (PUD1
application is not approved as submitted that the present Tentative Map
will be reinstated to its present status and the suspension, if granted,
will be with that condition, namely without prejudice to our right
(without additional fees) to reinstate our presently pending application.
Such reinstatement would automatically occur either upon the expiration
of 150 days or a negative decision by the City Council on the above
contemplated second planning application for the parcel, whichever occurs
first.
Thank you for your prompt consideration.
