The City Council sustains the action of the Planning Commission in denying the requested modification to §2-3.40, Article 7, Chapter 1, Title II of the Ordinance Code of the City of Pleasanton relating to public streets in subdivisions. Thus, the request of Dr. Howard Long for a private street is denied, for the same reasons adopted by the Planning Commission, to wit: (1) The proposed design does not contain or attempt to provide safety devices such as guard rails, vehicular runaway ramps, or vehicular turn outs. (2) An 18-foot wide travel lane is too narrow to safely accommodate two-way vehicular traffic on a hillside having a continuous slope of 20% for a distance of approximately 1700 feet. (3) The design of the roadway as proposed contains inadequate drainage provisions to prevent runoff from the adjacent hillsides from causing debris to buildup on the roadway, thus presenting a safety hazard. (4) No good, sufficient and adequate justification -2-
