The end product is devaluation of home values for all of Dublin. Dublin Ranch Villages will never be close to Santana Row, a combination of poor planning and greed.

Whatever they say should fly, will fly in Dublin. <br/><br/>No one is saying to force Charter to build more parking than the minimum called for by City Ordinance, we are just saying build your fair share, not 41 less as being proposed. A little less hear, a little less there and we will have a nightmare years from now and dropping home values for Dublin Village Residents. Once news is out in the open about the parking problems there wouldn't you think people will shy away from plucking down $400 - $700K for a condo or townhouse there?

Charter has invested too much in this area for them to simply walk away. Let's not lose sight of that. If we don't push back on the developers and insist on quality, why even bother having a City Council or a Planning Commission? Wouldn't the City be run more efficiently, if the developers were running the show? Maybe they already do. Anonymous on December 10, 2008 3:10 PM clearly does not live in the Dublin Ranch Villages.

What should be the penalties levied against the HOAs, if the HOAs refuse to comply? How would that affect the property values in that area? Also, why do people automatically assume that more parking lots mean more black asphalt? If Charter Properties wants to create an upscale ambiance, they can easily do interlocking concrete pavement. Charter will more than recuperate their cost in the high rent they will charge to tenants, so let's not worry about how much underground parking will cost them. What we need to worry about really is the cost to Dublin if we do NOT insist on underground parking. If the developer of the Terraces can do two underground parking garages, Charter should be able to do the same.

Second, the added cost of adding underground parking to these developments ($35K-45K per underground stall) simply because the residential HOA's won't police their own parking policies, would render these projects uneconomical and the East Dublin residents would loose the great amenities that are being proposed.<br/><br/>I struggle to understand why it is a developers obligation to fix the problems of surrounding developments.<br/><br/>As for Shared Parking, this is a great concept. It gets us away from massive sea's of blacktop parking lots and saves more land for development of things that we all can enjoy.

I struggle to understand why it is a developers obligation to fix the problems of surrounding developments.

As for Shared Parking, this is a great concept. It gets us away from massive sea’s of blacktop parking lots and saves more land for development of things that we all can enjoy.
